    Can you make a video on how to choose a transmission to match with the engine?
  • @LukeEdward
    Thanks for the return of “TechTip” with these episodes. Roots are there for a reason; they are proven successes.
  • From the TNN days to now, my friends thank you for the many years of entertainment and knowledge.
  • You guys at POWERNATION really have a solid crew at both studios. I love listening to Tommy make up sayings on the fly, it’s like my uncle and grandpa are in my ear haha. Oh can’t forget the Ohio man himself whos tuned every engine I’ve ever dreamed of owning 😅 Frankie you’re badass! And Pat you are too man! I died laughing on the episode when both of you were finishing a dyno pull and Pat concerned said “The engine is still running?!” 👀 👁 👁 I think it was the 4.3 engine build 😂
  • @benfowler2127
    I feel like unless you’re living life 1/4 mile at a time, reliability should always be one of the two choices from the triangle. But even then, I’m sure reliability carries a different connotation for the application.
  • @Ecosse57
    I'd love to see an engine build focusing on a wide rpm range monster torque gasoline, non- forced induction, street engine.
  • Pat and Frankie knock it out the park on this episode! Great job on the presentation and information! Textbook stuff right here!
  • It's nice to see how Pat and his grandson work well together
  • @jdmmike7225
    Pat's "That's four P's" had me laughing lol. I would love to see these guys step out of their comfort zone. I would be more than happy to help with Engine Power's first rotary build. I currently have 27 rotary assembly's under my belt and just finished my first peripheral port 13B build. I love the V8 stuff but it's good to expand your knowledge as well.

    I’d love to see you guys do a video on a early c4 corvette l98 tpi build! I’d love to build my vette engine to 500whp but don’t even know where I’d start, or if it’s even worth upgrading internals or if the block needs to be upgraded. Maybe w video on spliced 2 bolt engines vs 4 bolt sbc builds. It’s so hard to find any videos on the older vehicles, everyone and their girlfriend have a ls build. Hell even doing a build to try to replicate the c4 sledgehammer (turbo c4 vette that held the worlds fastest car speed for about 20 years)
  • I love the little presentation board you have. my dad got me into cars and man I love this youtube channel
  • @Coronet_shop
    Glad the FE was brought out long live the beauty FE!!!!!
  • I'd like to see you all put together a torquey truck motor like a 454. Something that lives in the 1000-5000 rpm range. This is a lot more realistic to a bunch of us than something that makes power at 3500-6500 rpm range.
  • @i_steal_meme
    This is perfect. I just started planning for a build I'm putting in a 1979 Z28
