Swole C8 Corvette with Heads and Cam - Late Model Racecraft

[@sowhat424]

Great job always building quality muscle cars.

[@swolericketts]

Great job guys, loving the build ! Wanted to clarify that this car is getting a Pandem Widebody kit installed and needed some sound/power and uniqueness to tie it all together ! The final build will be perfect ! Looking forward to working together in the future! Thanks again !

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Thank you Sir! Glad you're liking it.

[@Black66]

Its awesome that the C8 has been out long enough now we start hearing some of them have that chop. That car is awesome! It looks like the Modern Mad Max.

[@larrynewberry3500]

Nice job, guys. Nice to see the C8 platform starting to get these performance upgrades without 3rd party ecm's.

[@patrickciarcia4100]

What a great C8 build for the street… sounds real aggressive at idle… nice natural Aspirated build… beautiful car.. 👍🏻….😎

[@justinlanglais9825]

Love it.... but I can't believe he didn't go with headers while you were in there !!!!

[@tracyjohnston6973]

Merry Christmas, to the LMR crew. I hope Santa brings you a 4k cam for your videos :) Awesome year, thank you for all the rides Steven,, Godbless

[@JavierTorres-py6rp]

I'm STARTING to warm up to the C8s. Was a C7 lover for a long time. I guess time and progress is wearing me down. NICE car guys. Made much nicer by you guys. Great job.

[@dzrfam]

This channel is genius, i love watching these builds, and already in line for my second car to head that way.

[@dlasti]

I love that deep tone chop of the exhaust.

[@thetoystorecardscollectibl1797]

Would this setup work with Eray since its the same engine? That cam profile is perrrrfect. Not too lopey, but enough. Nice job

[@mervynmontague1811]

Always entertaining 💯 🇯🇲 🍾

[@bigd9848]

Steven awesome work and tuning 💎✊👑I have to get a cam and headers installed on my 2018 ZL1.The car is on Long Island in New York. I guess it has to be shipped to you. I will contact sales 👑Thanks you know what I want the sound of the chop lope and a proper tune 🎵

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Yes sir! We will definitely get you taken care of. Look forward to working on your baby in the near future!

[@AJUSA1]

Sick!

[@mahdi.zr1]

are the base C8's able to be tuned? Did this car have a tune done after the heads and cam were done?

[@Lagann0]

Been tunable over a year now for the ECU.

[@robertsenterprises90]

@@mahdi.zr1 The technology in these has allowed twin turbo systems to be added and the computer adjust , this information has been out... They barely developed tuning towards the end of last year which is why it's laughable to pay 15k for 75 hp when 20k will get you twin turbos , like people don't be foolish falling for these gimmicks

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@robertsenterprises90 In the olden days, I would pay $500 for a nitrous kit that would get me 150hp. The whole car didn't even cost $15k.

[@gloriamaletta8667]

​@@TheCyberMantisI'm 61 years old l get it those days are gone times have changed this is now a very expensive hobby the old performance your talking about is nothing like this

[@gloriamaletta8667]

​@TheCyberMantis my very mild and simple GM Performance LS3 495 horsepower crate engine with bolt-ons is 10,000 dollars not counting transmission stall converter Aluminum driveshaft oil and transmission coolers Aluminum radiator wheels tires suspension upgrades it's not cheap today if you want performance and my setup is very mild

[@joshm6560]

How much up does this car make?

[@boywonderrr71]

Steve said 75-100 wheel added depending on bolt-ons. Wish he had dyno shot tho

[@Chichipompom-c4r]

Probably around 500 to 530 rwhp

[@ralphgrunz1498]

Steve, How much would you charge me to work there?

[@LateModelRacecraft]

🤣🤣 You would have Franky as your boss! LoL

[@jeffnoob8448]

Slower or faster than stock ?😊 Might be a stupid question, but how much faster or slower . 😊 I love it !

[@tonylopez2030]

Faster

[@jeffnoob8448]

@tonylopez2030 I'm talking 1/4 mile. I'd be curious to see side by side. I'm sure the 60-130 times is better, but I wonder how much better. 🤔

[@dzrfam]

Sounds great, looks great, always fun to see what you guys are working on!!!

[@chrisstretch1]

How much is a package like that cost?

[@robertsenterprises90]

15k for more sound and power that makes no difference at the tires.

[@Icygt500]

@@robertsenterprises90lol so a wast of money

[@44GTmustang]

@@robertsenterprises90 Thats makes no sense. He got chop and probably added 70-100 RWHP with room to grow NA with longtubes.

[@N2OBusa]

Nice build but I don’t understand why he would not just get the headers on it when you have done the rest.

[@theguy1224]

Always loved these videos, for the years i been a subscriber. I just hope for 2025, something can change with these videos. Can you please mount the inside car camera in a different location? No offense but we don't want to see your face the entire time you're driving LOL. We would like to see what's in front of you when you're doing the pulls and driving around. Not saying making it a POV, but perhaps mount the camera on the driver side door window like behind your left ear area and shoot the video looking foward.

[@joshm6560]

Do you ask your clients if it’s okay to say their names in the videos? Just curious

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Yes sir. Also why we do not show license plates most of the time.

[@jimd2895]

Gave the customer what he asked for, nothing more nothing less. A proper fbo C8 will drag that car tho.

[@tonylopez2030]

Is this a stingray?

[@kennyphun1946]

No it’s a sardine 😂

[@LateModelRacecraft]

This is the Stingray C8 that comes with LT2 pushrod 6.2L engine. The C8 Z06 comes with the 5.5L DOHC flat plane crank that sounds completely different. Hope that helps

[@josephfuntanilla8276]

That will piss off your neighbor

[@straightlinepainting5967]

* tuning * some of you are idiots 😢 just watch any of the thousands of KZbin videos that break how much time it takes to tune & Dyno one of these modern cars. To break the computer on the engine and transmission. Then street drive it with full insurance!

[@tombrown9246]

Sounds great. 15k is way too high but nice build.

[@boywonderrr71]

Thats the going rate for all shops heads cam packages between $13-15k due to labor involved

[@tombrown9246]

@ haha yeah I should have specified. That is way too high for me to spend.

[@Chichipompom-c4r]

Yeah it’s total bullshit. $15k for 75 to 100 HP 😂

[@boywonderrr71]

@Chichipompom-c4r It dont matter since u don't have one. Moot point. Drop a $25k 2650 for 200hp bump & call it a day. You bitch n moan about the cost & cant afford it nor the car. Blah blah blah. C7 hp cost x amount, and you cant afford that either. Hp is EXPENSIVE! Especially on exotics which mid engine c8 is now. If you want cheap hp goto the junk yard and watch Richard Holder videos

[@robertsenterprises90]

15k to drop the motor and make it louder??? Are you seriously playing games?? Like this is terrible. 75-100 hp for that price. Truly milking the platform for a bunch of smoke and mirrors at this price....

[@johnbusby9281]

Agree. Some people have more money than brain's!😂

[@nickb289]

This isn’t 1990 people. New car modifications involve R&D and that has to be paid for. Otherwise we never move forward with performance in the aftermarket.

[@ragnarok67]

I've had my '02 Trans Am motor pulled and fully rebuilt with cam, heads, lifters, pushrods, etc. All for $5000 including parts.

[@springding05]

Your comparing copper to gold. Your car worth 5k base vs 100000 base so you think that should coat the same to upgrade cmon man theirs a reason you have your car and they have theirs. Be happy yours can be faster for less money.

[@TODDHOLLINGER-k3v]

The exhaust systems alone on these cars are very expensive. If you can drop the motor yourself and do all the work and tune it yourself, then yeah, I'm sure you'd only be in for half that price. In this case, you are also paying for professionals who have done this for a very long time and are very familiar with the platform. The extra you are paying is so all you have to do is pick it up, press the start button and go.
