I think that you guys having cars shipped from Texas and other places where performance cars are big, reallys shows the caliber of RPM. Best of the best

[@offdatgogo]

I love hearing the trans tuning 🥰

[@hensley1175]

My man got hung out to dry on that fist bump 😂

“It ain’t gonna run a f***ing 9 on that” 😂😂

[@barbarian778]

What a bunch of beautiful cars, you guys are truly Awesome with the work that you do true professionals at the highest level! Can somebody please tell me what kind of wheels are on the white C7 ZO6 at 17:43 on the dyno . Those black high gloss wheels are SMOKIN HOT!!

[@Tclark6199]

That C7 is perfect 🤤

[@speeddemon7572]

That c7 gave me a freakin eargasm 😍😂

I like how you have been putting the plastic on car at window and engine bay so you don't scratch paint during Dyno pulls...I 👍👍👍. So much better then just slapping cord against paint...Respect goes a long way..👊🤙🤙

[@frozenstang3868]

What a great time to be a car guy, bolt on some parts and make 900 lbs-ft of torque. Old guys may rave about the 60's and we had a 30 plus yr drought but god damn the 2000's will be talked about for years to come. Nice work Fran and company.

[@mavsformulaful]

C8s in the shop will be so amazing.. I heard speculation they wont release the tuning royalty to HP for 2 years on this car, and people are gonna be chompin at the bit for tuning s/w. May see the first builds run on port efi/afmkt engine management for the fine tuning, and bigger mod cars...

[@kingrandor7272]

You guys are the best can't wait to get a vette so you can mod it for me those rims look like the rims from the z28

[@Joe_likesthepump]

Wow the white C7Z sounds nasty!! Buka Powa as well!! Great job Fran!!!

Hope Matt is still there when I get my vette. Always does a thorough job. 👍

How bout the blue V3 with the Kong ported Edelbrock? Was their a problem with it?

That white c7 Z looks awesome with those wheels. Plus it's got all the good shit. Nice job.

[@lx347cid]

very impressed with those Torque numbers on the Z06!!!!!

The wheels on the c7 are so hard. what sizes are they, asking for a friend lol.

It said 295 30 19 in the front. I garentee he has 305 or higher in the back with 20's

"Do you wanna hand me the controller?" Na "Alright" 🤣

[@orionfixr7713]

Yeah , Steve is so helpful around the shop . I like when he tries to school Fran and Fran wads him up like waste paper and tosses him in the can .

[@transam2002ws6]

Mad that GM didn't release a gen 6 Camaro Z28. That thing would have been so awesome. That Chevy SS was nice and it made really good power. That C7 ZO6 though. What a freaking beast. It's because of Fran's salt tune that it made those glorious numbers. Need more of Fran's saltiness of tunes.

[@FelixBerckhauer]

But the camaro had the zl1 with the same engine and power as this z06? You can make the exact same power with these mods on a camaro zl1

[@joerodriguez7334]

Nice rides , keep up the great work !

[@C6GS]

Are you able to run full E85 on the C7Z? Or are you stuck to blending it to lower percentage? Thinking of trading up into one, so figuring out a plan for it

[@robertjohnston4304]

What rims are those on the white Z? You guys built a beast…..

[@jpprind]

Love the C7. This one is bad ass.

[@Danks_Automotive]

You guys said the stock michelins are no good for traction, what do you suggest to go with? My z06 will be at about 610ish whp

[@nickmahramus5034]

I’ve got a SS with the same driveterrain vibration as that Z/28. I had the diff rebuilt and am getting a one piece soon. I noticed my diff also kinda clunks back and forth but I figured that was normal with the teeth of the gears meshing. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@offdatgogo]

Let me guess... Ship it to RPM so they can check it out and fix it 🤔 Fran I want 10% if he sends it to ya 😂 Nice vids BTW Nick. Hope you get it sorted out.

[@kmaark1551]

Ive always wondered if that c7 had ARH headers instead of kooks.. would it sound much different?

[@richa9719]

Wish you guys were closer, would love to have you do some work on my C7;Z06

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

We have customers ship us their cars from all over the US and even overseas.

What wheels are on the c7 Z ?

10:30 Steve please try to get a pic or video or something of that exhaust for us please, lol thanks have a good one👍

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

It's in an older video couldn't find it

[@adamkavanagh1107]

At what does the A8 need some hardware upgrades?

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

when shit breaks... if you're asking what horsepower there is no specific answer for that.

[@coolstoryybro4506]

Didn’t realize the stock blower could make it that far thought no one had surpassed the high 780whp mark with it

[@demetriuslwilliams90]

Fran: yeah yeah while nodding his his head in agreement lol

[@elevatedperformance]

Why doesn’t fran like coating just curious so maybe I avoid it on my headers down the road

[@Steve-pc6cb]

[@jordank8402]

Absolute killer #s on that C7Z! Was that a low side only fuel system upgrade?

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

and meth injection

[@302vettelife2]

How do you run those cams without doing a converter? Isn't it pushing through the brakes?

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

We custom spec our cams based on the build.

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

Oh the z's there everywhere 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@ronmcbee4743]

The comment I heard while the white c7 was on the dyno was “pretty good for an automatic”. Because a manual is lighter? My dealership has a great deal on a manually z51

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

No because autos have more drivetrain loss. Meaning they dyno less then a manual car.

[@christianmcvay8258]

Are the wheels on the C7 from a z/28 Camaro?

[@barbarian778]

Christian McVay i thought that they were the same wheels, but I know the ZO6 wears some beefy 335’s in the rear so I am not sure. Although they do look like the z/28 wheels but in a bigger diameter , whatever they are they are SWEEEET!!

[@alexchadbourne]

I have always wondered why you guys dont work on c5 Corvette. Is there a specific reason or personal preference.

[@rotor13]

Alex Chadbourne They Iike to work on newer/current Chevys. There’s one QA video where they explained that.

[@alexchadbourne]

@@rotor13 cool! I was just curious. I wondered if it had to do with tuning.

[@rotor13]

@@alexchadbourne I can't remember what they said. But I would think thats part of it, also the fact that they have a bigger market for people with new cars than they do who have older cars. My uncle is one of those people who buys a new Corvette and Camaro on every generation, and trades them in every time there is a refresh.

[@alexchadbourne]

@@rotor13 that makes sense.

[@FPVQuadModz]

@steve, what size R888 for stock Z wheel?

[@Vetteman372]

how would I go about getting my 2019 grand sport with 1700 miles on it since i bought it in august get a blower, cam, heads done at you shop I am in northern Va so I would drive to your shop and how long would it take for this to be done?

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

Call or email the shop to set something up [e-mail]

[@aash4255]

Definitely give them a shout. Bill is very easy to work with and both guys Matt & Eric are top notch can't go wrong with either. Then Fran puts the magic touch on it. And you'll be very happy. . I'm from VA also and I've taken my v2 coupe to them 3 times so far. Can't be happier

The burble tune lmao

[@mavsformulaful]

How does he get so many cars where Frans tune alone picks up 50hp, even mod for mod on a "tuned?" car. That combo should not have added over 200whp... WOW Ya, LOTS of Z28 control arms get hurt bad enough to break the LSD/gears/etc and then are driven long enough like that to do so... How many mi on the Z? Keep confusing w that perfect ZR1. What a clean and gorgeous, heads, cam, and Kong 2650 candidate... Youd prob expect the heaviest 5th gen Camaro Diff option to be pretty dam big.
