Late Model Racecraft 730HP Stage 1 C8 Z06 Corvette

[@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.💪

[@LateModelRacecraft]

@@phildata6423 Thank you very much!!!

[@nicklovely6431]

You want reliability you keep it stock. I dumped 60k into my first c8 sure it made 800whp but it melted down on the track.

[@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

[@AXXeYY]

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

[@highlyillogical9399]

America needs more flat-plane v8 cars. That sound is amazing and I prefer it over the typical muscle car exhaust note.

[@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

What were your dyno numbers to the wheel with those 3 mods? Or did I miss it?

Does not look like you would need any more power than that. Fantastic build and what an amazing sound! 👏 Hero Status Achieved

[@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.

[@moonrider99]

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

[@vthomas2313]

Beautiful car. Outstanding job. Wow!!!!!

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Glad you like it!

[@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

[@kurtthomas4746]

Yea, really what’s the name of your shop. These guys it obvious they know what they are doing!

[@LateModelRacecraft]

@chaseself5420 We port the factory TBs while keeping the OD the exact same from factory. By opening up the inside and having a cleaner air stream helps us gain the HP. I hope that helps. I can go more into detail about dynamic airflow but would be a little much for KZbin comments.

[@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?

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.

@@nighthawk0077that’s stock crank horsepower, these cars make 590-600 at the wheels stock.

[@nighthawk0077]

@@jjRaider I know, my point was this being the 730 package that what it makes crank. From there you can figure out whp. Also not sure what mods don't matter means. You do a quality intake and exhaust, you will make gains.

[@jjRaider]

@@nighthawk0077 ok if you take a cold air intake system that still uses a MAF sensor and has the same diameter as the factor intake, you will not pick up that much power if any at all with without tunning. High flow cats will pick up a little being less restrictive. This is where they should have shown a stock baseline pull and the stage 1 pull to find how much did it actually gain.

[@nighthawk0077]

@@jjRaider I agree Dyno pulls and showing results would have been ideal. As far as I know all bolt on intake systems still utilize the factory maf sensor. They are less restrictive, either somewhat leaning out the A/F mixture, or in systems that are able to auto compensate, increase fuel flow. I would assume the stock Chevy intake on an engine like this is already quite free flowing.

[@yountune9799]

It needs Radiator guards. Even on just on street driven car, you can tell how many miles the Z06 has by amount of dings on the front radiator.
