the beast of all races : THE BEST since ...

[@GuitarPlayer3-m5k]

I've been watching your videos for years Steven and 1 word that has been spoken in EVERY single 1 of them..."reliably"! We ALL want 1,200hp! But what we don't want is to be 70 grand in 6mo from now building a new motor and transmission and new axles and a new tune because it didn't hold up. Dyno sheet divas are enthusiast's as well but some of us want to enjoy the driving and not chasing ghosts! LOVE what you guys do and keep up the great work!

[@kurtthomas4746]

Well said, I couldn’t agree more!

[@phildata6423]

You're the man Fereday! Keep up the amazing work the LMR brand is strong.💪

730HP N/A V8 is insane

[@Ap32023]

1064 ZR1 is insane lol

[@ATLSloan]

@@Ap32023not NA though… Love my z06 and ‘in line’ for both ZR1 and Zora. I have a feeling the c8 z06 will go down as the best still moderately attainable and equally if not more aspirational sports car ever for the masses

[@superfast30]

I applaud GM for developing a high revving, high strung N/A motor in this day and age. N/A motors of this nature are truly an art form!

[@Jaybrown223]

Im not hating, but it is refreshing not hearing a super charger whine.

[@talltexan4710]

GM did copy Ferrari..

[@LWRC]

NA motor runs out of air pretty quickly. Twin turbo is where all the performance is at!!! The bottom end of a well tuned twin turbo will absolutely smoke any NA motor not to mention the top end! There is no substitute for forced induction via turbos!!!

[@chrisgreene818]

Revs do not equate to power/torque \. The strongest engines are diesel and they are low revving. I prefer the mello deep bass of the C7 . These things sound like a Kawasaki

[@mikeisaacs2314]

Just saw my first Z06 About a week ago in person and the rear tire look like a set of dually wheels and they sound amazing

[@squilliamfancyson9732]

[@mikeritchie492]

When these are able to be tuned oh man this car will be insane. That spec is perfect in my opinion. Love the channel fellas hope to send my vette one day.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

This is the perfect spec for staying light and having the perfect amount of power to crush anything stock on the track. 730hp is 60hp more than stock, but with dct I'm sure it can keep up with the C7 ZR1 auto in a roll race

[@jamesoleary7640]

Without any accompanying bolt on mods, just "tuning" will likely garner lackluster results. I base this on the results of tuning a stock LT2. Without anything to "tune" for, the factory actually got it right.

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Thank you!

[@g4do]

From what I heard from gm , the 5.5 liter isn't meant to be charged. The higher rpms makes it subject to problems or failure.

[@derekb5749]

Z06 isn't a super car. It's a car that Supercars hate. Obtainable for more.

[@G82Watts]

Why would they hate it. If they have a supercar they could of bought 3 of these if not more. Obv they don't care.

[@felipebaez9555]

I love the C8 Z06. Makes me want to get rid of my built C6Z. Does this make 730 to the rear wheels or the flywheel?

[@dameonbrown2985]

Crank stock I have seen as high as 620 so this is probably around 660-670 which is impressive being a 5.5 can’t wait for tuning! 700 rear wheel easy especially with e-85

Modern ECUs are usually targeting specific tq values, how is this making more power without tuning?

As far for the z06 what do you recomend before driving the very time like do wait 5 min and wait tempatures ? Would love to get you knowledge on that just bought and would like to make the car have longevity

[@ralphcruz8484]

Are you able to port the intake manifolds and the heads to give it more power

[@serchair]

What would be the stage 2 looks like? (besides the ECU tune) Are the added parts going to be still useful for the stage 2?

[@kingrabbit101]

If theres no draggy times on this in done watching lol.

[@josephhernandez5986]

This car is perfect! The only change it needs are shorter gears! The gearing on these is terrible up top. You'll redline 5th gear at 190 mph when in a Huracan or 458 you'll be well into 7th gear at that speed.

[@SinisterC6]

Agreed!

[@guillaumesandmayer7053]

Hang on. Surely this running on E85 right? I can't believe it's making more than 700hp. That's a massive again.

[@JohncyBillups]

Can ported throttle bodies be done with stock tune and factory cars to keep it CA smog legal? Thinking of doing just a cat back and throttle bodies. Maybe HFC in the future

Hey Steven, I’m planning to buy a Z06 in the near future. I would love to purchase the Stage 1 tune you guys offer, however I wanted to know if getting that tune along with valvetronic titanium exhaust would cause issues?

730. Note the badge on the motor

Mr. Moen of the Moen facet company ?

[@samholcombe3129]

Well that settles it for my question of is there any real power gains to be made N/A bolt on LT6, that’s impressive 60 hp gain from an intake and hi Flo cats, be interesting to see what headers, head porting and cams could do. By the way, is that 60 hp gain at the wheels or crank?

We offer that for our road race customers for offroad use only.

[@EA40]

The EPA has cracked down on some of those mods recently. A catalytic converter delete can run afoul of laws and land LMR in some pretty expensive trouble. They can still do it, but they have to be more certain that the car will only be used off of public roads.

[@Shad0wC0mpany2]

Could only imagine what that would sound like though!!!

[@markmastroianni3192]

Is it faster than the ford gt?

[@yeezydidit]

Want to see dyno stock vs stage 1… I know it picks up power with no tune.. prob make 630ish… stock is 570-600whp depending on dyno.. intakes like 15 peak picks up a lot mid range and I know the throttle body’s prob pick up 10 and high flow cats prob 15-20whp so I’d say 40whp more

[@jjRaider]

I don’t believe it makes 730whp. There’s no way these cars make around 590-600whp stock and with 3 basic mods with no tunning or higher octane fuel, making 130whp extra? There’s no way. What you said was correct

[@Tyee2]

That’s my car 😅
