@

@bgd737 years ago 1990. This is the vettes that began to wake up america. I remember a friend had a TPI camaro, I had an 84 monte carlo SS.. and that was as far as we could go to just get on the highway like a suped up beetle...just 25 years ago. It is cool to think it is built beyond every other vette out there. Still waking people up. Vettes never sleep. Awesome build. ...
@

@rorzzza7 years ago good to see NRE back. those roller shots would be a million bucks if you guys could invest in some windshields for your camera mics. need to hear those beasts in all their glory.

@chipgrip17627 years ago So happy you are back and uploading again... hate to ask but do you have the Iceland crash on video? Anyway huge thanks from the kind of people who agree the car is disposable the engine is what you invest in
@

@richisamindset017 years ago I'm a car audio enthusiast honestly but I can for sure appreciate this fairly plain looking Vet that I'm willing to bet MURDERS! Sounds damn good too 🤘

@coreycaswell46887 years ago Let me clear that up Nelson you a bad man
@

@shaundavis85227 years ago I love these videos. I was ase certified master tech for 25 yrs with Toyota, I first started working on cars in 1974 points and the controlled leaks called carburetors. I learned from some very good mechanics and built early chevvy small blocks and big blocks for my friends and evolved thru the scarey times of things that were new I e fuel injection electronic ignition distributor less ignition computer command and control. I value these videos in all the technical matter that nre has put their tweaks into what a air pump can do if controlled properly. just seeing tourqe and hp is so impressive but the number not referenced in my opinion is stoichiometry of 14.7 to one in the dyno dope . Perfect combustion this is why when i think of hp and torque you are making and the drivability in these incredibly technologically advanced and streetable machines are amazing. tom nelson and crew you are Nikola Tesla and Michelangelo in the automotive world, THe thing you don't mention and would be fun to see are tail pipe emissions as I bet they would be in target to pass cal. standards in co and HC thank you for showing just how far technology has come and taking the fear out of electronic control no detonation drivable you guys are killing it no fancy Italian car or euro trash can compete in any price range can compete with your . well done ...
@

@jamest43637 years ago just a question..have you guys done any builds with a 390 ford fe engine platform?
@

@paulmader10524 years ago If I had the money Nelson would be the first person I would come see forsure
@

@turboboy19837 years ago I watched this with headphones on and scared the living shit outta me. Awesome.
@

@eedesign8787 years ago Nice to see new Tom Nelson Racing street video! :)
ps.1700hp, cage but no seatbelt nor helmet. Seems legit. One bump and he cracks his head open.
@

@aaronlittlefoot7 years ago what rear end is he using, or is it the stock dana? I have the same gen corvette and i built the engine and trans and i want to know if i should worry about the diff anytime soon
@

@driftbustin7 years ago Love your build style and quality, amazing attention to detail, love the uncommon sleeper bitch slappers. Nice work!!! 1
@

@bigredracer78486 years ago All your videos are just insane of what money can buy you
@

@johnward79707 years ago Glad to have you off hiatus.....thoughtt you went out and did the unthinkable? How long does it take to build a LS3 engine for my 55 car?
@

@straight_intro7 years ago do those a2a intercoolers get enough of air? the front looks pretty closed
@

@laser69beam7 years ago Yah you did...! ;))) good to see you back on the up and up ;)
@

@maldo727 years ago bro you seem so much more serious. .. i am glad you back up to health. ..
@

@DoriFord7 years ago Tom! Is the Diablo coming? I can't wait, lol! I've seen a door! Please, show us more... I'm dying to know! Glad you're back! Thanks man!
@

@grabir017 years ago Nelson should let others do the racing.. We need Nelson alive to build more engines.. :)
@

@JayDee-bz2ge7 years ago YOUR BACK! Love these 427 TT monster mouse motors. They seem to be perfect for so many toys. from Sand rails to Corvettes, I hope someone comes to there senses who owns a older Veyron and wants to smash the new Chiron.... Designing a NRE upgrade would not only have more power, but drop 400 or more pounds from the Veyron. Plus Nelsons engines look WAY better than the 900+ pound boat anchor W16.... ...
@

@cracyzero666rat7 years ago I like that it looks like a sleeper :D
@

@MrWkala7 years ago That cage looks substandard to the rest of build.. What is it, like 5-10cm from drivers temple?
