Nelson Racine Engines F-Bomb Camaro and The Silver Surfer

September 24, 2009

Adam Carolla, Sandy Ganz (The Professor) and Tom Nelson of Nelson Racing Engines (NRE) take a look at 2 bad assed Camaro’s. The First is a 2000hp+ (You read that correct) 1969 Camaro. The powerplant is an NRE twin turbo 572 Big Block Chevy, from it’s custom billet intake and turbo’s. Yes, billet NRE designed turbos! The car rolled in to the CarCast HQ with a bit of rumble, air Conditioning and stereo. The second is Tom’s first super car, the F-Bomb which was built for David Freiburger, Cheif Editor of Hotrod Magazine. While not up to the same Hp as the 1969, the 406 cubes of SBC cranks out a respectable 1540 hp and 1527 lbs of torque. Both are have some trick features and can run on pump gas. Works of engineering art.

      The intercoolers were tucked in front of the radiators. It is such a clean job on how they tucked all the plumbing in it is nothing short of amazing. Leave out the stereo and A/C you might be able to save a couple of bucks 😉

      More from NRE on the show for sure.

        Best Carcast yet, why didn’t GM talk to NRE or listen to Gale Banks back in the day. Honestly, I think Gale Banks would look at the those turbo engines and say I did that 25 years ago. Also, I think Smokey was doing big block turbos back then too. Smokey Yunick would of been an awesome interview, if he was still alive that is. Sandy keep doing what you’re doing!!!

        best regards,

    Quick info from the owner of the Black 1969 Camaro, the car is actually called –

    ‘The Truth’

    Seems fitting for a 2000hp car.

      Zune??? Just kidding, I do see that the current episode is not up. We did change the feed a bit and that might be the cause. Will take a look. You can also hit the Download page directly for all the links to the MP3’s if you need them.

      Will see about the fix and thanks for the heads up.

      Hmm, we are all friends here and you can admit watching FF4 as long as you don’t own the DVD your good. I think so, Tom mentioned something like it was a Hero car in the show.

    Love your podcast, best on the web. having grown up with a car guy neighbor who is now 75 and still building hot rods and who I consider a second father, I am truly lucky. Having found your podcast just keeps it alive. His current car is a 46 jeep 2 door wagon rat rod with a 502 big block, built to NHRA safety specs.
    thanks

      Not sure what we would do with a blown up RV. Sounds like you need to take it to Burning Man and then let them take care of it…

      Other Idea’s –

      Jump the Canyon
      Cut a hole in the side and sell Taco
      Fill it up with water then blow it up
      Fill it up with as many College Buddies then Blow it up
      Fill it up with shaving cream
      Put a brick on the gas pedal and pratice a crash test (Only where safe)
      Paint it Pink and turn it into a rolling brothel

      Something should get you on TV 🙂
