986 hp

1285 whp 😬

[@hipo4eyes1]

675 HP

[@danieljagger8466]

1035 rwhp. I mean Lee wants to crack 4 digits and beat Dalt's LS Porsche right?

[@alexkroeger1]

950

[@concernedcitizen2868]

dont care about the power, but that sound is angels singing.

[@bubberrand]

🙏

[@highlanderc]

Sound of an inefficient cam that is not needed on a supercharged vehicle.

[@greganderson2911]

You guys are genuinely good dudes. I knew i liked the videos, but my kid reached out to you because he recently wrecked his evo. It's been rough on him. Just the fact that you guys responded to him meant a lot. Really cool.

[@natethegreatog]

876hp is my guess, either way it's 🔥! Great build! One of my favorite channels to watch!

[@R3DRUMZ_427]

Fun fact Synergy Motorsports used my car to mock and fab that C6 trunk tank on my A2W YSI Z06. Gotta keep them IATs down!! Cool seeing guys all over running the tank knowing my car helped to make it happen!! BTW with a cam and your muffler deletes you won’t hear noises from the trunk tank. I can’t with my setup with corsa sports.

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

Solid build man. Glad it all turned out. Appreciate the business!!

[@danieljagger8466]

I'm noticing a dynamic with these builds: Lee is definitely more the purist while Dalt's more the mad scientist. Would love to see Lee doing a crazy fantasy engine swap of his own (The Redeye maybe?) and Dalt go down the purist route once things settle down at the shop. Great job cranking out two builds in a month!

[@sniperpronerfmods9811]

why would he possible do that... if you taken apart a c5 or newer you would know its not worth the pain and suffering

[@MRCOACH_P]

My Pops had a 2012 ZR1 in the blue. That thing is bad asssss sir. Great work! Thing was sick. He now has the 2017 Z06. Do one of those!!!

[@raymusic5840]

Sounds great!

[@petetofani4896]

This is one of my favorite channels. Always look forward to new videos.

[@JaredS23]

Glad you took it to Fran. RPM best in business!

[@peterb4143]

Should check out late model performance. I like em more

[@JaredS23]

@@peterb4143 LMP is a very good company too but better… idk.

[@ardennielsen3761]

some high pressure injector pumps require a low pressure high volume lift pump that is pressure regulated with an air separator canister that bleeds back into the main tank... that's how the #044 155psi 90GPH pump I have works, that and 10 gauge wires to power the three pumps because is has two lift pumps "one on each side of the main tank, 14GPM 80psi lift pump regulated to 45psi so the actual fuel injector pump does very little to bring it up to the rail".

[@nunyabusiness6400]

Cannot wait to see the dyno numbers on this beast! It looks good, it sounds good, great build!!! BUT! "Two Guys, Lotsa Lube"...how did that make the final cut???

[@unknown39222]

Its dope seeing all the projects come together.

[@Armstrongx7]

"Yeah I get it, shut up." Is the most relatable thing I've seen as a Corvette owner lol.

[@HP.Customs]

We require more info on the burned up ZR1 along with a parts breakdown.

[@kristinewilson5353]

I know, he said he paid 15k so I sure hope the motor is at least good. Passenger side seemed to be decent.

[@jasonatencio8017]

Theres no way it was 15k i wouldnt pay 1500 thats crazy

[@tommel1969]

I always use a test probe through the installation of the wire prior to the connection when I’m checking voltage.

[@gtscc9977]

Extremely impressive work you guys have done. I’ve been following this zr1 build. I give a lot of respect for what a good mechanic he is. I just wanna know how much spending goes into this kind of build 😭😭😭

[@scraplifegarage]

We don’t talk about the cost part 🥲 If you ignore the financial irresponsibility it doesn’t count.

[@gtscc9977]

@@scraplifegarage then ignore I shall🤣🤣🤣 but much respect to you, after this zr1 series I’m a big fan and can’t wait for more. Opened my eyes to how much work goes into a 1000 hp build.

[@mustangjunk6013]

This car sounds so good! The video does not do it justice.

[@Nickyb801]

Fellow ZR1 owner. Congrats. Car is sick! Excited to see the next video on the dyno and track. Interested see your wheel tire setup and how it does with traction :)

[@SaltyBasshead]

Sweet sound of FREEDOM!!!

[@Ricekrispy3531]

With your lining around metal brackets would recommend silicone or rubber. 880 non tune 940 to 1100 tuned

[@sonnyserrano5522]

"Lots of heat, lots of lube and two guys" 6:58 That was hilarious

[@2003cobramustang]

i'm a ford guy but this vette is sweet! 700hp!

[@_slipAngle_]

Great video! 756 HP to the wheels.

[@skylerjones2302]

y’all are definitely my favorite youtubers i love when y’all post, but i’m gonna guess the zr1 got 1137

[@joesavage6084]

I don't think anyone in there right mind would abandon a car like that as much as I enjoy your show I find this too beli

[@ardennielsen3761]

9:10 the relay for the intercooler pump is supposed to be of a thermostatic switch same as the radiator fan... will not turn on below "?*F/C" to prevent ice from accumulating inside the cooler that would clog the intake. to that a handful of dry ice chunks in the water box just goes... if it was running full time "excessive battery consumption (-mpg)" and the grid would see -80*F thus clogging up with crystalized water vapor.

[@brettrobinson1430]

1064 is my guess! Love the car!

[@Orbacron]

Hahaha, flip the catch can filters over. I bet that felt great to drive it with full oil pressure👍🌟🌟

[@Evil5639]

MAN this car really came together. AMAZING

[@WayApp]

What an incredible transformation!

[@KuramaWolf]

1100 horsepower... love your cars

[@5150streetsoklahoma]

Love the zr1! Bet it will make 831hp and 780tq

[@bliz-8410]

im gonna say 1,031 and what an amazing looking and sounding corvette, and for you to say it might be too loud means it must be unreal, you should get some decibel readings from it

[@jordonboring3729]

2:09 i say the same thing to my c6 always beeps like that when you close the door with the key left inside.

[@fordmd9704]

THE best generation and trim/color

[@biggiejay9664]

Soild stuff guys good job, power is going to be 977!!!

[@coleBlap]

Did you check fuel relay fuse, relay needed separate ground wire it seems like it could be relay, did you test resistance ect?

[@nolimit_sebas1063]

“Lots of heat lots of lube and two guys” bad choice of wording 😂

[@SonicH6265]

987 HP…. Love that car! A little rough around the edges but it’s perfect to me!

[@MStew-xf3ri]

You guys are great, keep it up. I'm gonna say 932whp.

[@chesspiece81]

We already watched it get pulled on HARD by the TT LS3 911 at the race event unless there was another ZR1 the same color one racing at the event. I would hope it make over 1k but I am guessing on pump 948whp and on E85 1073whp if I remember the build correctly.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Ah, I love how you guys used oem parts! Should keep those Corvette purists happy!

[@BVance1972]

Guessing horsepower @ rear wheels…. 887 ! Dang I hope I’m right fingers crossed!! I love your videos keep dem a. Coming & God bless

[@Kevf5]

Favorite series 🔥😁

[@armandopatane5343]

Sounds amazing

[@MikeCookvlogs]

958hp is my number love the videos guys my favorite build channel keep up the work guys ur fan/friend Mikey n south Florida 😀😄🥺😝

[@kevinloken7765]

Awesome find

[@ESN730]

WHO EVER LIVES IN THOES HOUSES LOVE DAT SHIT!❤️🔥

[@kwesihenderson9633]

at 5:42 love that line " I had to bust out my below avg fabricating skills "..LOL

[@darioxbrow9223]

That sound is music to my ears

[@Mikkeyboyy]

test lights are good handy sometimes

[@Eatongee]

4:48 "I'm a snaaaaake. I'm a slithery little snaaaaake." That's all I could think at that point. lol

[@GB58777]

852hp and a awesome ride

[@petetofani4896]

Wrap that cooler box with sound insulation and carpet to lessen the noise in the cockpit.

[@S2NAZ]

That look on your face early on when you were checking the oil pressure with the gauge in your hand then your face went blank for a second andI was like Nooooooo!!! Tell me it’s got pressure, then he smile. That was great 😂😂😂😂

[@defekticon]

My old LS swapped FD the engine builder forgot to put the oil galley freeze plug in on the front of the blog. Zero oil pressure. Had to pull the engine and tear the pan and front cover off to fix. That engine builder (in Essex... no names...) not there anymore.

[@dparisi420]

I believe this monster if a car will make around 1069. That Kong supercharger is beautiful, and that thing sounds so throaty🤤🤤. Can't wait to see what she does and how fast she is down the track. Amazing job fellas, you have one beautiful car there, now take her down the track and be dirty with her😂😂

[@bretjjjohnson7942]

Congratulations man

[@ryandemaio1040]

My guess... 1162 WHP when you dyno the ZR1. Love the videos cant wait to see the reall HP number on the build

[@yesterdayz]

sweet ride. thinking 995 at the wheel

[@JoseRodriguez-gz4vm]

Beautiful zr1

[@eanhuston2426]

If it's oil pressure, check the oil galley plug...chevy motors have an issue for that

Another great video and car selection.

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome video, thanks

[@BuildTheSandbox]

Wooo. So sad that oil pressure strikes again!

[@mintclips338]

I want to say 1200 hp and 900ftlbs . Its my dream build so I hope I’m close .

[@getupandgotransport6344]

Love it!

[@roberttowsley8958]

You and Fernando make a great team! What's with all the new ink?

[@BrendanDalponte]

So why the 1inc line going back go tank on the top left shouldn't been on the button?

[@ryanmatchett6481]

I'm guessing about 776 to the wheel. I'd just like a piece of the burnt Vette and a sticker. Vettes are my favorite since I had my first ride in my uncle's orange 73 t top . It was the start lol.

[@rocket7126]

896 Dyno estimate - from Apex Auto Parts - Brookfield, Illinois.

[@brycegaming3248]

950-1000 hp on dyno and can't wait for new vids

[@accordxtc319]

I'm guessing 897hp once its tuned. 900 if Fernado isn't in the passenger seat

[@snip5265]

Wanna see more of the burnt challenger!!!!

[@jonathanlaskos8741]

Nice to see another candidate for the Narrows Bridge run. Horse power has to be 997 at the wheels,

[@oscarabrahan]

Nice Car !!!

[@Torquematterz]

850-890 hp with a good tuner

[@evoxus11]

Can you build an insulated box for that water tank.

[@2801race]

Great stuff, fast moving and entertaining. What wheels are you running?

[@c5doob]

YESSS KING

[@vettepride]

Been waiting for this vid. That vette is sick. My guess is a solid 911whp. Gonna b coming for that poorsh.

[@JonathanDarling-d8t]

Willing to part the brake calipers on the totaled vette?!?

[@zabdielonofre3131]

Great content!

[@charlesrose5945]

Always entertaining! 867 hp

[@gn4life84]

Great build. Cant wait to see this ,the LS swapped 911, & the AIM 911 turbo go at it. Do you have any of the Orange Stitched (not red) Centennial Edition alcantara C6 vette Shifter knobs and or shift boots??? Every place that says they have them as new stock DOES not & its dead stock from GM. Please help lol. If I guess the HP you can send me those. LMAO going with 1020 rwhp

[@BuiltByLondonRacing]

25:37 1100/1000 on dyno😊

[@silverback8183]

Can ZR1 engines (or parts) still be bought?

[@gregvette921]

975 HP 👏

[@pokor5791]

ok, this is a quote from this video: "Absolute pain to get on, lots of heat, lots of lube, two guys. I plan to clean up". Not sure what kind of video would have that quote. 😱

[@imSchwaggy]

If I guess closest, sell me the set of red c6 z06/grandsport calipers for 50% off lmao. I need em to test on my e36. I'm guessing 891hp

[@rs5001988]

623hp crank ❤

[@tomtht3355]

That’s my ‘Cuppa Tea’ ! 😎😎😎

[@HardLearning548]

Based onn how much the porch made, my guess is that the zr1 will make around 950, just short of the nissan juke.

[@spawn_blacksmith]

Tow truck arrives: I thought you were bringing me a 10 second car! 😂😂😂

[@MAD_BST]

Same problem my car is having. no oil pressure. not a fun time at all.
