The video we are referring to, where Freiburger and Dulcich work on making a 1,000+ horsepower Pro Street 1969 Chevy Nova, is from an episode of "Roadkill Garage". This episode highlights the duo transforming David Freiburger's Pro Street Nova into a powerful street/strip car, designed for both street cruising and drag strip racing.

They fully rebuild the Nova, aiming to extract more than 1,000 horsepower from the vehicle. The roller build culminates in a thrilling track test, where the Nova is put to the test to achieve some impressive times right out of the gate. The 1969 Chevy Nova shown is a classic muscle car that's been heavily modified, making it a standout in the Pro Street scene with its blown engine setup and drag racing potential. The car itself embodies the appeal of raw power combined with street-worthy performance, making it a prime example of a modern pro street build that merges extreme horsepower with street legality.

The Pro Street designation generally refers to cars that are purpose-built for drag racing while still retaining some street-driving capabilities. This Nova showcases the best of both worlds—combining extreme performance modifications with street legality. Despite its monstrous power, the aim was to create a car that could function both on the drag strip and on the street, with appropriate handling, braking systems, and cooling.

The episode culminates in a series of drag strip runs where they push the Nova to see just how much power and speed they can extract from it. As with most Roadkill content, the focus is on real-world performance, mixed with humor and DIY enthusiasm.
