It was pretty good. The old guys in the red IROC should not have been shifting manually, that was obvious. But the white car also dyno'd more rwhp in stock form than the red one. The MSD demo was exactly that, a demo. It wasn't comparing the GM HEI to the MSD, it was probably comparing a stock single point ignition with stock coil to the MSD. The white car got down to 13.23 on the final run which isn't too bad for a couple of ricers wrenching on a real car! And the ricer boys were surprised how much power they could feel in those big heavy cars. The Buick GN episode was using the 85 GN which was the hot air turbos which were not very quick to begin with. Having people that can't drive doesn't help show what improvements were made either. It was a pretty good episode though. The history of the F-body stuff was cool to see.
