Why did Tom say it was built for Sam and Jacob? His normal video style. Guess they are related to Larry or gave him a wonderful gift

As usual, he claims it makes 2500 hp but the video shows 1950.

I wonder what it will run down the .25 and how reliable it will prove to be using water cooling.

I saw in one of Nelson's older vids he accidentally left the correction factor visible. You don't see him making that mistake anymore.

Inside sources have informed me of his inflated numbers. Doesn't really make sense to do this, no one has been able to control over 1500 on the street anyway. Jeff Schwartz' Ultima made over 820 at the tires and he can barely keep tires on the car.

Inflated #'s = sales I do agree with you

Nelson packages some nice parts in his engine bay and he knows exactly what he's doing. Pretty much a known quantity around these parts.....

I'm not bashing him, I've known Tom for many years, he is good. I've also been there for a few dyno sessions. All I'm saying is better #'s increase sales. I have no idea if Tom's dyno is happy. I know Brad's and Bob's aren't LOL

I prefer engine builders that can't use a dyno to measure performance.
