Erik sure gets a smile on his face when he gets to hand lube a shaft. Keep up the great work....

[@twhitaker1984]

The content on this channel keeps me coming back. Calling out the trolls, fucking with each other in the shop, making serious HP , and the music montages. Keep up the good work!

[@terrorfarce]

Steve, would it be possible to do one video of a car start to finish; from rolling in, the full base pull, the work getting done to the final dyno and tune? i love the format of your videos now, but a little more behind the scenes would be awesome!

[@TheFamilyCarGuy]

Man this is why I decided to have RPM do the work rather than have my local shop do it using RPM's package. It was worth it to pay the shipping cross country and have these guys do it right. I feel bad for the guy with the white Corvette who had his motor get blown up by a bad shop. Also, I actually really dig those LS7 z28's. They look awesome especially in black!

When you're a GM Technician working on Equinoxes and junk cars, but you watch RaceProvenMotorsports on your lunch breaks and time away from work dreaming of working on race cars for a living one day.

Erik is back at it again with the stranger! Lol nothing but smiles 😂👀 13:05

At least say what state the tuner that blew the LS3 up is from lol

[@Venom99street]

Please keep Elmo in future episodes! Lol...

[@SM-eu5xl]

The ‘skip’ steering feel while turning the Corvette at slow speeds is called the ‘Ackermann Effect’.. how ironic that engine builder of that same car was a Bruce Ackerman...

[@crodrc51able]

And thanks for the good music!!! No ghetto crap!!! And that Z28, drool worthy. Auto Grand Sport, C7Z.... just some Heaven there! 🇺🇸👍💪🥃

[@michaeln.7083]

Hey guys great video as usual,.. what tires are on that Z28,.. curious I road race and usually I can tell by tread pattern.. couldn't get a good look,.. great power can't beat that sound!!

Would love a follow up on the road race Z/28! How has the engine held up? What is Phil's feedback after a few years?

[@zip-tieracing4307]

Everyone loves Elmo . Did you realize Elmo is 51 years old

[@zachojeda]

That Corvette is straight up nasty

[@Gazgvr]

So are these the cars not all but some of the cars that we see on like the Texas freeway racing and such like the 1320 vids?

[@hortonj63]

This z28 is exactly why im putting the H pipe back on my SS. That fucking mean deep sound is exactly what i want. Might onloy be a 6.2 with bolt ons (no internal) and NPP but i love that sound

[@MarkS204specC]

The Black Z28 sounds good.

[@devinsmith8252]

Is it a pain in the ass putting the vettes on the two post? Or do they use floor jacks to lift the car to get the lift arms under it?

[@jeffclayton9968]

As always great job fellas.

[@ShowBoatShaffer]

He gave the Vet the STRANGER again hahahaha

[@Paulster2]

Sound it as "Bruce Ackerman"

[@ryancmbh7210]

Is it worth buying one for straight line use?

[@venomws6]

Great work like always guys I believe if you close the hood on the dyno it will gain traction and get better TQ Reading LMAO

[@kygator1]

Omg.. Now it's elmo..... 😂😂😂😂😎🤘

[@choppaj247]

i See what you did there.... And i LIKE IT!!!

[@jeromemccall4450]

Who tuned the white c6 so I know who not to go to

[@1216jimmyz]

Bad, but no one is as bad as I he shop that tuned Sr's ZR1. What was it again, like 88 degrees of timing? Smh...

[@datbenzdoe5157]

One thing about RPM is that they are so professional even when a shop does shitty work they don't badmouth them they only point out issues. True professionalism and much respek to them 💯

[@Vetteman372]

CPS tune?

[@coledearmin9793]

Great video as always

[@robertwerner5332]

Awesome work once again guys!!! Lmao Elmo

[@danielhenderson6253]

Do you not have to do a stall converter on new corvettes and camaros when you do a cam?

[@1216jimmyz]

You never "have" to do one. It all depends on the power curve of the cam and if changing the converter will help or not. Even with an extreme cam, you don't "have" to, but it'll perform like shit. Lol...

[@marcofdelos]

Incredible vehicle. Hope to be able to have 1 one day.

[@tylercouture216]

U will friend

[@Hernandez7163]

That Elmo is Chelmito 😂

[@transam2002ws6]

That C7 ZO6 sounded brutal. He's going to have too invest in some sticky icky Mickey Thompson. If he wants to put the power down. I love the 5th generation Camaro Z28. They have such a mean exhaust note stock. Not a fan of the mid-cycle refresh front fascia of the Z28. The first 5th gen Z28 facia looks so intimidating. How can the internet be so clueless about having the hood open on dyno runs. On top of what Steve said, how are you supposed to get your rpm signal with a closed hood.

[@markwh668]

Andy!!!

[@CVPI03]

markwh668 the white corvette?

[@markwh668]

CVPI03 Yes, and I was only guessing Andy was the tuner.

[@jpprind]

[@digitald5851]

That looks like Bruce Ackerman to me. On Corvette forum there is a thread of GM engine builders that assembled ls7. 22 people have chimed in saying that Bruce assembled theirs

[@chrisnunes60]

Just out of curiosity do Matt and Eric ever get tired of doing the same head and cam package over and over again. Also do y'all have any desire whatsoever to branch out and start working on other vehicles??

[@kmaark1551]

I put STABIL in my z06 when i store it... is that bad? 😬

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Fran might just have the best job on the internet, with the possible exception of Jim Harmon (you know, Heather`s husband) ....

[@ricknichol2288]

It goes faster on the dyno with the hood down Because it cuts through the air quicker Watch the air flow Right over the whole Car it's so smooth lololol

[@ImpalaZac]

I’ll take the k&n off it and pay shipping 😇 need a cai for my 07

[@MrJaredk112784]

Someone needs to get Matt a headlight.

[@donovan007007]

On that black Z28 at the end... does anybody know the ground effects kit he’s using?... and that Wing?

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

It’s stock

[@I5ZQ8]

I mean if you Baseline with the hood up and get final numbers with the hood up, it would be the same gain... And in the end thats what its about. The actual gain not the final number.

[@garrettseaward7815]

Do you guys do dyno tunes only or can you do over email tunes? I’ve got a 16 camaro ss I’m putting a P1X Procharger and I’m in search of a tuner (located in Florida)

[@RaceProvenMotorsports]

We have a bunch of stage 3 LT1 videos on the channel. As far as the Meth on an N/A car .. that’s not exactly something we would do or recommend doing. Minimal gains if any, IATs don’t get near hot enough on an N/A car to benefit from it.
