This fellow is such a good representative for this channel. I really look forward to his content

[@ThomasDSullivan]

Dear Mr M,Henson. You have learned your CRAFT well.Keep up the GOOD-FIGHT MIKE!!

[@southjerseysound7340]

Mike and his crew don't get enough credit. They really don't mess around.

[@xw383]

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Keep them coming.

[@saywin3091]

Im shifting gears in my head everytime his eyebrows twitch. Vroom, vroom, down shift puoom, puoom, puoom. Much respect Mike.

i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me

[@raylanroyal2127]

@Dominick Lennon thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@raylanroyal2127]

@Dominick Lennon It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !

Had him build me a 632 n20 engine originally got it from :shit company: and from day one on dyno it had excessive blow by we turned on one kit 200 jet hit it mid range and it said no moe lol Henson saved my racing season, 2 years later we have made 161 passes with 2+ kits zero issues still has good comp on all 8 💪🏼💪🏼

[@stillthepillar684]

Always good to see the Aussie brothers drulling over GM engines with us Americans. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@martinsmallwood5581]

Ziff Hudson's twin 98mm small block made 3900rwhp a few months ago. 3500hp at the crank with 94's sounds about right.

[@glenbrannon7224]

Can't wait to hear it run!

[@tezzrterry7485]

Noonan Engines are really leading the world.

[@jj801slc3]

Now me and the mad scientist have to rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you just fried!

[@steveelco114]

Great interview. Cool guy .

[@danielbrealey2924]

Wow, what an engine...

[@jjamanda]

No side to this man a true gentleman

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

Why not use the Noonan LS Edge Heads? I’m not all that tech on this engine…yet. Nooonan is building a street build for me, but I have yet to decide on the heads. I have considered the DART Pro1 285 12º and also a MAST. While I looked at All Pro, I found more options with the other two.

[@martinsmallwood5581]

CID heads and intake

[@shawnjones7512]

I wish I could learn from him the ins and outside of these engines.

[@Lockedinstreetracing]

I bet plan B will run really good sounds fast I run a dart 440 Ls block with twin precision 88s and mine ran 2450 on 30 pounds and the dyno was tapped out I usually run 40 to 45 pounds at the track so that engine should make around 3500 I think you may need to go to some twin 94s let me know how it does I’m interested now.

[@71sc502]

never thought I'd see an oil pan so beautiful

[@darthvader8433]

3500HP.. That sucker is not going to fly under the radar on a Saturday night cruise..... ;^)==

Goodness gracious

[@wokss]

Mike Henson and Aussie Street Machine, great insight in to engine building

[@fastone371]

Wish I could understand what the Aussie was saying????

[@Willdabeest27]

How much can you make with a f3r-121 procharged 427 or 440 lsx

[@lsx_moe]

Are you guys going to fill the block or use a girdle? I see there's no coolant passages. What fuel are you planning on running?

[@zackdoubleZ]

LSX_ moe he said methanol and I don't think anyone is using girdles in ls platform they are really proud of those shaft mount rockers, I myself am using a girdle but had to mill it myself as there are none available, they could put one on this set up but hasn't been confirmed if they will or not

[@lsx_moe]

Zack there's one I use, it only requires custom arp length bolts but will need to be clearanced for a stroker crank

[@bigcncguy]

No need to fill, its a solid block, no coolant passages in the block, you dont need a girdle with 6 bolt mains, especially if there doweled to the block

[@lsx_moe]

John Knight correct, I completely forgot about the coolant passages.

[@martinsmallwood5581]

No offense but 750hp 13:1 434" is a bit underpowered nitrous cam or not. A well built 434 with 13:1CR should make 820hp minimum especially for class racing. A set of CID heads and intake would pick up 50hp easily over those RHS heads and mast intake. Just the intake swap alone would be good for 30hp. EFI with a 4150 would be good for another 25hp, 4500 maybe 40hp. I've had customers make 800+ at the crank with very similar size engines and similar compression. That said, Dave is at the forefront of nitrous technology these days, I have no doubt the car will still run well, especially with him tuning it and the customers he has providing any help he needs getting it down the track.

Get educated.

What a really interesting interview, thanks for sharing this Android please do more in the future.

[@therrinchisley7600]

Hello i have a question i have a 5.3 out of a 07 silverado how can i get the most hp out of it wat upgrades can i do for my 96 impala

[@martinsmallwood5581]

Headers, full exhaust, cold air, 216/220 114 cam, 3200 stall, and get it tuned. That will pick you up roughly 75-80rwhp.

[@terrybeasley2898]

@@martinsmallwood5581 75 to 80 hp????? Maybe around 30. And the 3200stal does not add hp!!!! Idiot. You need hp to engage a 3200 rpm stal and ur recommendation wont get it. And the cam,,, no head work work?? No valve upgrades no valvespring upgrades? Boy you sure know ur shir.... Freaking Idiot!!!!!

I wish i could afford a engine that was koohed on Meth.

[@doozerchuck8625]

Henson does financing in house. You can get an insane setup for the price of a water bill each month. If you seriously want a great raceengine, you should look into it. Mine should be paid off first part of next year and I couldn't love it more!!

[@firstbaldwin]

so that is an aluminum con rod motor

[@runrabbitrun4342]

i was hoping to see the Rusty Hook LS in a resent video but everything is a year old or older, Nothing with this motor. Kinda a bummer.

[@maddietaylor8724]

So this ls that runs nothing from the factory is trying to do what the ford modular and toyota 2jz has done using the factory casting head and block

[@radioactivematt9058]

ford modular is already in the 5's :p but cool engine

[@philsmith5829]

mmr, and bennet both are killing it, but i always enjoy watching vids about the ls platform, because i do think when it comes down to it that rite now they are a cheaper and more available way to go

100K yet they have 100K engine in australia that only have less than 1/4 the power, see how much is a total rip off here in Australia with Turn key engines ? There's only a few people in australia that really know what they are doing as far as engine building for the track and those people either have almost everything they need to make the engines and running gear for the 1/4 track cars and they all know each other but dont tell their secret to each other,but help each other out ? Look up speed boat engines builders if you really want a good drag engine or like he said tractor pull engines ? Alo when he mentioned Money is no objection, then think about it, the average guy of the street is not going to pay the same price as your best mates for that 454 ?
