I got those fullway HP108 tires from them. They were good for about a week, then they suddenly had super bad road force and shook the whole car at as little as 20mph. Was not pleased. Good thing they had the 90 day mine brack guarantee

Anyone else own or ever own a Corvette? I've had 5 but three were never on the channel. I had two C3 Corvettes back in the day and a really nice 86 C4.

[@SandyNickk]

I had an ‘84 with the much-loathed (or much loved by about 14 people) Crossfire injection. While just about every component was well worn, it was a pretty cool summer cruiser. Although, I’ve moved on to LS1 GTO and that is much more fun 😅

I had a ton of problems with my Procharged LT1 TransAm years back... spent more time on a flatbed and being transported between shops and dealerships than it did on the road. When I finally got ahold of the guys at Procharger, they spent a ton of time helping me get things right... they never lost patience and within a month, I finally had the car I dreamed of. Wish I knew who helped me along the way just to thank them.

[@ddevil4980]

Pantera's are badass! Also, a great band too! Or was a great band.. This new line up is a joke..

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Absolutely!! Sadly forgotten piece of americana fastness..Yeah, they were designed in Italy, but can you really blame Ford for using that design? After all, if that design place in Italy designed Ferraris(especially the Countach) how could they go wrong? Right?

[@kubasorama]

@@Pantherjonvideos Americana? Well, they were not only designed, but also built in Modena, Italy. Yeah, engine was Ford and also Ford had rights to sell it in their dealership in US, but the car was import from Italy. And keep in mind, that it was still produced by DeTomaso until 1988, 13 years after Ford stopped selling it in US. Also designer (Tom Tjaarda from Carrozzeria Ghia) had nothing to do with design of Lamborghini Countach (which was designed by Marcello Gandini working at Bertone back then). But definitely you are right that it would be totally awesome to see DeTomaso Pantera in Alex's garage!

[@Pantherjonvideos]

@@kubasorama Thank you so much in filling my total lack of knowledge on the Pantera, specifically, and on Italian designed cars in general! I truly appreciate it! Was only based on what one of my OLD bosses told me of his Pantera..And of one of his friends who had a Countach..I guess he just passed his ignorance on to a new generation, and here I had been spewing it too!!..LOL Now, I know more and am better informed!

[@NeTSkaTe22]

Epic! 😂 44:30

[@luisbalderrama8145]

Alex, On a similar note to the brake booster, I had my coolant fill tank/ reservoir do the same thing. It might not be a bad idea to get another if the booster has cracked. The polymers are hitting that age when they just get brittle. For the brake booster I, regrettably, did not get a metal brake booster, but another plastic one. I do not like kicking the can down the road, but I did not want to embark on a possible retrofit project. Watching this and going through the work I did, I am sad I didn't take the risk of fixing it forever. Also, thank you for showing the true nature of what its like to work on these C4s. Its some of the most efficient packing of mechanical and electrical components I have seen, but fixing one component is such a pain sometimes. Keep it up! -Luis EDIT: It was not the coolant overflow, but the fill reservoir. I believe its the same material as the booster.

[@richardknapp9491]

Alex you should put a pro charger on the Trans AM that would be cool!! And after you get the C4 tuned you should do a quarter mile track day to see what times you get out of them!!

[@jasonengland2357]

I had a 95 Z28 and remembering buying aftermarket spark plug wires for it. I returned them and never did them once I found out you had to remove the whole accessory setup to get the passenger wires out from behind them. Such a pain in the ass car to work on.

[@hitardo]

Gasoline engines inject a lot of fuel on cold start, in order for it to reach its full operating temperature as fast as possible. If one starts it and right then after shuts it off, a lot of things can happen. The most common is flooding, where a lot of fuel sits inside the piston. Also, the entire exhaust system may end up completely full of fuel, including the catalytic converter. Therefore, one shall let it work (at idle or not) for a few minutes before shutting it off. Alex, please install a good exhaust fan - so you can extract the fumes out of your shop, especially when your cars have "permissive" emissions control systems 🙂 A CO and Smoke alarm would also be good, especially those connected to the internet - so you can monitor it even when you are outside the shop. Cheers from Portugal! I love your content, and especially your enthusiasm.

This video was really fun! They always are, but Erik brought another element, like you guys had done videos many times. Definitely need more Prochargers on more vehicles to bring Erik back for more collaborations.

[@NTromb]

42:47 The reason why it hooks up so good is because it’s a mid engine vehicle instead of the engine being in the front it’s more biased to the rear tires so all that extra weight keeps the ass end planted

[@quantumtime6883]

Love the C8, not a huge fan of C4 body style, very difficult to make basic repairs. I believe the C8 maybe slightly easier to repair and maintain due to engine being more accessible.

I have a Procharger kit on my 1991 mustang GT that I purchased and installed back in High School in 1998 and it's still going strong! I wish that you could opt to keep the billet look of the blower, or go with the textured finish if that's what you like.
