1400HP street legal 55' Chevy,

[keithalison38]

Simply awesome

[mussie302]

Absolutely wonderful. Nice work.

[Janusha]

Where would you get a cool instrument panel like that ? Certainly not out of a 55 Chevvy.

[mgoblue8687]

Damn that sounds good!

[nevershoutZOMBIES]

1400 HP, not bad....but will it blend?

[bouncebouncejiggabou]

14oo hp.....huh, ya it looks fast but will it beat a Millennium Falcon?

[CodyLight602]

Street legal my ass

[jamesandrewjohnson]

@CodyLight602 I can't understand why this myth is floating around that beasts like this can't be street legal. At least here in Iowa, if your vehicle isn't higher than 13 feet 6 inches and the width isn't above 8 feet, you have lights, turn signals, brake lights, a license plate light, front and back license plates, DOT approved tires, seat belts (not needed in a car this old), and your car is below 95 decibels loud (a good set of mufflers can easily do that), then your car is 100% street legal.

[jamesandrewjohnson]

@CodyLight602 Now which one of those requirements doesn't this car meet? There i absolutely no horsepower, torque, to speed, acceleration, or any other performance law at least in most states. You can literally put an 8,000 HP top fuel motor in your car and it'll be street legal. Yes it will blow up before too long. Yes there are flames coming from the exhaust. Yes it takes a lot of muffler to quiet one of those down (I assume). And yes, it would cost tons of cash, but it wouldn't be illegal.

[no1aussiepaul]

Some of these comments just show how some people shouldnt comment on stuff they no nothing about. Cant tell the diffrence between a turbo and blower? or dont know how a blow through carb works or why a carb can be better than EFI for some apps then just fuck of back to rice land.. before his msd fucks ya ECU

[kristofvanzeir]

you should get that engine checked... idles a bit off :-)

[castor628]

119 people cut there dicks off

[fatbeatos]

Great car man, just got my 1966 chevy longbed painted dark blue, and white toped it.. now trying to find a motor.... i noticed the small amount of bondo on your car, and go to say, love only seeign a lil on it, more metal the better, i bett you spet days beating and heating shit straight i know i did, keep up the great ART of AMERICAN MUSCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minifranky93]

definitely think i'd give u a run for your money in my 74 bug all 1200cc of fury lol

[woodzo40]

Looking good. have fun with it i know i would .

[1H31C3M4N]

Lool listen to that fuel pump in the beginning

[crimson1667]

i wouldnt drive it....

[iceman5X75]

i love the sound of squeaking valves, 1400 at a mild tune up, i bet ya there can be more found by just tuning on the carb, if its still carbed right now? but damn i'd love to throw that F3R on a 555 and run outlaw 10.5 with it but mostly now people in 10.5 is using the F2

[FirstPersonFails]

And then they invented seat belts.

[BumbleBeeGS]

540ci? Fuckin hell xD How much did the engine cost?

[CameronWoodward107]

HAHA i have the same RPM tach sittin in my jeep right now.

[metalxwolf]

I believe people call that...stupid fast lmao nice :D

[stoffehansson]

ever heard of fuel injection? greetings from sweden....

[1955thunder]

@stoffehansson

Using the blow through carb dropped the IAT over 74 degrees by itself... No intercooler needed.

[VanIsleNuckFan]

@1955thunder cool!

[69CRUZR]

@stoffehansson haha, thatll teach ya.

[BumbleBeeGS]

@stoffehansson You ever heard of horsepower? greetings from america

[svtcobra888]

@stoffehansson Fuck you stupid sweden fag. Welcome to America.

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

@stoffehansson fuel injection blows

[juhanintie]

what is sweden

[razhua]

nice car though

[razhua]

anything made before 1975 is street legal you can pout any engine u like unles its a jet engine

hehe

whos checking?

[12345619304]

The engine sounds amazing  But the body needs some work

[MadDogTransmissions]

Nice car, let me know if you ever need a bulletproof Maddogtransmission. My shop phone is 770-781-0949 I would love to build you one of my transmissions. Thanks MaddogLou.

[k3digichaos]

...unreal... very sweet, man!

[norcogun]

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK AND TWISTED

[hempseed57]

Worried about header heat messing up the intake at all? Or Will this not be running long enough to generate much heat?

[mkai4492]

1400 HP THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS like 1400 HP

[fritznh]

@rancherodave: The red thing is a blow off valve for the ProCharger. When you pull your foot out of the gas, it will dump boost so you won't run the compressor into surge. Very cool car, by the way.

[WestLosHomiez]

Be back in a few, have to go change my pants cause i just jizzed in them...

[CaptainOmar]

118 people are complete ricers. 

[bassaddict1231]

and it still has backtires??

[stlchucko]

Awesome car. Take that on the Hod Rod power tour or Drag Week.

Side Note: I bet 90% of people who leave the "slicks aren't legal" comments are of the ricer variety. I suppose they never heard of the Pro-Street movement in hot rodding that was huge in the 80's and 90's. I don't have any problems about questions, but trying to be a Mr. know-it-all when you're wrong is 1 of the highest forms of douchebaggery.

[Wojoray]

@stlchucko Agree 100%. I was introduced to the Pro-Street class(and drag racing altogether) when I was 10. I'm now 18 and have loved it ever since. When I was 11 I got to ride in a Pro-Street AMC Javelin that my neighbor drove to a nearby track and ran high 7's. I'll never forget my first time. There's absolutely nothing like riding in a car with over 600 cubic inches thundering. I've been helping work on the Javelin and other cars much like it ever since. By far my favorite class of cars.

[rancherodave]

Coupedehill that red thing is a waste gate for the turbo

[volantorman]

Pornographic Chevy - a real Boner Button !

[yvosaurus]

I didn't know cars could be street legal without any hood or trunk!!

[overtakeNeps]

nice car! street legal^^ but not in switzerland:(

[golfingfishback]

Can't wait to see it burn rubber...

[blazeveryday6996]

lmao that thing has a BOV

[burbanon22]

That thing is 8 different kinds of nasty!

[brents350z]

ooooh my fukin god.....

[coupedehill]

that motor looks like a beast. sorry for my ignorance, but what is the little red canister coming off the side between the supercharger and the carb, something to cool the air?

[asssface2000]

it has no fenderz

[cuda540ify]

luv how the ricers think they are the best

[MrFordn74]

oooohhhhhoooooooooo, better than sex:)

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

ok nice n all but no use for the thing

[Extenderblade]

i bet at the speed of 50 it sounds like an airplane :P

[boilingpoint2]

omfg it's not a turbo it's a turbine !!! xD

and i like the cone directly fixed to the turbo !!!

[40thArmyBrat]

nice what does it look like now??? no after video huh??

[1955thunder]

@40thArmyBrat

if you look at my other vids, you can see the '55 finished and on display at the Super Chevy Show...

[chevyguy434]

u sir r my hero, i know what u want from santa this year, can u say intercooler,, oh baby

[Qball914]

that turbo is massive. the blowoff valve is the size of my head!

[SUSPECT29]

@Qball914 To bad its not a turbo

[Qball914]

@SUSPECT29 centrifugal supercharger** good call.

[harley101010101]

very nice!!! looks like you could still use some body work. do you know wat time it runs at the track?

[RocknRollCharger]

Man! This is sick!

[ziegler223]

holy fuck.

[Stickman53fe]

I'm in love with this car. I'm a Ford guy, but this is a classic 55. I also love the seats. Nice upgrade to alter the pro-street theme. Sounds pissed off and I like that! Good job.

[ATR831]

@Macgrady29 notice how most the cars you mentioned dont even have an AC or radio? the zr1 and viper have the top track times in the nurburgring which is the benchmark track for all. and get your head outtta your ass if the zr1 wastes so much power burning its rear tires then why does it have a better 0 to 60 than most of the cars you mentioned a zr1 can run a high 10 sec in quarter mile in stock for and its a fraction of the price and the steering wheel is on the wrong side faggot!!!!!!!!!!

[ATR831]

@Macgrady29 yea how much is a ferrari fxx? its not even a production car their are only 20 or so and you cant even take em home ferrari wont allow it, all the cars you just mention have exclusive price tags the are louder than their actual performance. the only difference is the amount of technology between the cars the zr1 and viper require a real dirver vs european exotics that practically drive themselves. all you did was mention cars that are good around a track what about daily life?

[sbchp54]

@Macgrady29 european cars are gay. overpriced fagmobiles not a single one has ever put down 1400hp on a dyno so your gay as well

[ATR831]

@Macgrady29 thats why the corvette zr1 and dodge viper acr, AMERICAN CARS by the way, can kick the shit out of any other car around the nurburgring and most tracks around the world your european cars fucken stink some nasty shit so stfu and get some proof and toilet paper to wipe the shit that comes outta your mouth.

[reaperston]

All of you are just jealous.

[osh301]

but does it have any cup holders?

[unicyclerobots]

@osh301 That's what passengers are for ;)

[layes64Nova]

is it a bb or sb ???

[faisalabulaziz1]

from a carb ? ,,,,nice....blow through from the way it looks .......but woudnt EFI be safer.. lol for me i woudnt trust a carb to provide fuel for a 1400hp machine on the long run,,,but thats me i geuss

[silentrage87]

have u ever thought about going to a bigger procharger?

the f5 is insane

[Xellos357]

@1955thunder LOL, i dont know about 72 but 55 isnt bad

[zayres29]

i got a boner

[username228442]

it looks like u spent all ur money on the engine and forgot about the rest of the car lol. Real nice engine sound though

[Lotum4n]

Damn with a motor like that you could drive your wife to Hell and make it back intime to watch the football game .

Sorry my personal thoughts only : )

I felt my pants get real tight for a bit .

American muscle baby .

[rp94cobra]

prochargers are the best ;)

[munteanuioan]

better then porn

[fatpat81]

how can any man say that the sound of a v8 can be beaten, listen to that v8, NOTHING beats it..

[arionbarbarion]

very nice.....pro charger?

[DCride1994]

nice car

[jasongiddensviper478]

Whats that thing on the turbo? The red thing.

[arionbarbarion]

@jasongiddensviper478 that is a pop off/ blow off valve.. and that is a blower not a turbo.. turbos are connected to the exhaust bud ..and blowers are belt driven...

[sk84fun9]

oh fuck!

[MalliganTheUFO]

Gotta love a blow through carby centrifuge blower set up. Blow off valve leaking all air at idle, snaps shut at the slightest of throttle open...... Im not putting my balls anywhere near its intake!!!

[jamiej2k6]

the side of that wastegate is insane

[GTtuner56]

I don't think any honda civic will defy you in the streets! lol. If any of them did, they are total idiots...

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

@1955thunder

oh ok.....have fun with youre car man..its really cool :D

[usnavyseals99]

@1955thunder damn...i tryed tho haha

[40thArmyBrat]

@1955thunder yup Ive seen slicks on the road before... some people really need to put down the Google and go to an actual drag race

[CSXT4438]

@usnavyseals99 ...Guess he told you. ...Douchebag

[JakeWeb93]

@usnavyseals99 those tires are commonly know as cheater slicks because you loose the tread in the first burnout but there still not marketed as slicks just easily worn tires... best loop hole every!

[Shadw5]

@usnavyseals99 that depends on where you are in oregon some places let you have slicks

[heavinutsman]

@usnavyseals99 dont be such an ass hole jist change the fuckin tyres if they really want to go out the point is this moster could drive past you

[thing503]

@usnavyseals99 If they're DOT approved then they are street legal.

[Mr5000wattsrms]

[wretchedSTONER]

the best thing about it is the fact he has a back seat in such a badass car. kudos.......

[Shaynezdg]

lol

[awgibson93]

Its gonna be street legal because he can register it as a historic car, which basically means mod the hell out of it.

[Vessey90]

means the opposite with historic rego. doesnt mean you can mod more, usually means no mods.

[RICKYERE08]
