I have always loved looking at their builds....they can build anything you ask for it seems. I met a local guy at a car show that has an early second gen camaro (70-73) with the bumperettes but it wasn't an rs. It was beautiful and when he popped the hood he had a nelson twin turbo v8 sitting in there. I took some pics and I'll try to find them. It had INSANE power and I think he has some videos on youtube. The line bending and pipe routing they do is a work of art IMO.

Found the pics...sorry they're LG Dare 2 megapixle quality lol. You can see the Powered by NRE plate before the rad on the second pic.

Pushrods have their place. I’d love one of these for my 57’ Chevy, although I think I’d lean towards the 14-71 setup just cuz that goes with the whole era better….

My almost 600 whp C5 got almost 29mpg on the highway not skipping gears. I would say it's not bull**** that a stock C5/C6 pushing more horsepower than an STI gets 30mpg on the highway.

Yeah really. You're not going to be going 200 mph on the highway all the time......unless you live in the Middle East.

I love my STi a lot, but you have to respect how far along GM has come with their pushrod V-8's.

And let's even go with the stock Corvette. What is it now? 430bhp? 30mpg.

A BMW M3, while it has a technological wonder for a motor, only makes 414bhp, and its torque of 295 ft-lb's is achieved at 3,900 rpm, and gets 20mpg highway. For the same price you can get a Z06 with 505bhp and get almost a 50% improvement in highway mileage. Now I'm no hippie, but I appreciate efficiency, and that LS7 is damn efficient.

Again, I love my car, and nothing drives like it, nor meets my requirements for a Daily Driver, but you can't argue with the pushrod V-8's.

^^^^amen brother......v8+forced induction=crazy fast

I love the symmetrical turbos. Its a piece of art in engineering. If it performs half as well as it looks it should be pretty awesome. I've never heard of these guys before, but it looks like they do great work.
