This C6 ZR1 Surprised us all ... | RPM S8 E19

[@BBossman1]

I've only been following the channel for a few months and what stands out most is y'all don't shit talk other shops or YT channels and only name names when you have something positive to say. Love that attitude!

[@RKHarm24]

Exactly

[@BBossman1]

@I will die on my feet , before i live on my knees I have no idea, I don't own a Corvette and have little to no interest in GM products, I just enjoy the content and the personalities on the channel. I don't follow many discussion forums since most are nothing more than big ego pissing contests.

[@cbreezyworld2652]

For real ..i get sick of shitty haters everywhere..these guys are pretty cool

[@Jmeinema1]

"we warm it up....and I f****** floor it" LMFAO

[@RKHarm24]

When my 2006 Crown Vic POLICE car popped the motor from a faulty Mass Air Flow Sensor, FORD replaced the long block with a 2007 4.6. When my car was returned to me, I was told drive it today like you will any other day. I worked 5p-3a so after calls slowed down and after 1am I got out on the straights smoothest hiway and floored it. After about 4 or 5 runs It topped out at 137mph. When I was issued an Expedition several co workers argued over my car cause it wiped em all. The Expedition topped out at 105 due to the factory speed rating of the tires set in the computer.

[@mikecrevier4686]

Nice tidy an propr work is hard to find these days, RPM takes pride in there work without a doubt never mind the haters and key board warriors. I've watched every episode and season and they know there business. I'm a licensed industrial boiler/ combustion technician and take pride in what I touch everyday. Hope to one day be able to have RPM set up my future ride.

[@dannewton5363]

I genuinely wanted to hear and see Fran work on that converter, I love the technical shit and yea Eric, people that don't know won't appreciate the behind the scenes trick work😉, have a good one guys👍

[@FrankLSD38]

Always said Eric does some of the most immaculate work on vehicles... and yes i'm a full time mechanic so I do appreciate his work

[@MichaelBacon212]

Man I really can't wait to see what Fran puts into his ZR1.

[@mattdeloff4348]

Michael Bacon , same! And hopefully some Mexico footage to go along with it..

[@larrynewberry3500]

The ZR1 is one nasty car without the big chopping cam. Very nice job by Fran and the boy's 😁👍

[@richardtisdale3245]

I love the way y'all hide everything... when your done the cars almost look stock... great work

[@gimmethecarkeys]

That zr1 is a nasty beast... basically 900 wheel. Nice little daily driver. Kudos to Fran for the awesome tuning! I love how you guys go into detail about what your doing. Got nothing to hide!

Appreciate the effort Fran. Also in the car you are calm because you are doing what you love doing the most in my opinion.

[@jayhilliard4365]

Thanks to Fran for explaining the additional timing and what not to do. Hopefully this help someone else in the future.

[@CamaroThings]

Episode starts with Fran swearing... someone turned off engine codes :)

[@eshroop6699]

Awesome channel. I'm currently in the market for a C6-ZR1 and find your content very informative. Plus, I finally found the fender plastic I've been searching for forever...(in your store). Bought it last weekend. Thanks.

[@firefighteruppy9121]

I just came across your channel because I've been researching super chargers. You're only 40 minutes away from me! Did you guys participate in this year's Hot Rod magazines Drag Week? The convoy drove right by your shop on their way back from Attco on their way to Maryland. Subscribed...

[@392Cherokee]

Dreams are made from this ZR1.

[@mericafreedomland3583]

Definitely have been meaning to call these guys to do a couple things on my zr1 My car also doesnt have the carbon splitter on at the moment looks weird without it

[@CTemple82]

I ducking love that red ZR1 too, but looks weird with its missing front lip. But I guess maybe it’s off for transport reasons.

[@williamstanfield1216]

Fran is bringing KP along the right way”She has to have her NHRA license before she goes that fast”.

[@michaelyates9838]

If I ever get a vette I'm so taking it to you guys

[@GTStuning-]

I agree with Fran, too many want beefy sounding cams but could care less on the power it actually makes. Posers 😃

[@michaelburgoyne115]

I have to admit, I'd take less power for some extreme chop. I can listen to an LS chopping at idle all day and never get tired of it

[@justinm6110]

Im not a big Vett guy but im starting to dig this channel

[@Blade_RunnerZR1]

I agree on the timing with Fran, very smart guy.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Nice Job! Fran needs to fix his ZR1 asap!

[@jeromeirving4770]

It was a rare option for the stitching matching the body color

[@juliangarcia969]

@ 29:08 “ I mean whoa Steve” 😂😂

[@atlking100]

Fran should go around the country and show/teach how to properly tune these bad ass cars!

[@RKHarm24]

Like the saying, The difference between Men and Boys is the PRICE of their TOYS. The Red ZL1 did real good, but it has cost him $$$$$. Mostly the 1st shop that screwed his car, then paying y'all to fix it right. The outcome was awesome.

[@fabianvaldez6101]

Dude I want Fran to take apart the converter again and trans and explain it but this time with audio lol I like learning stuff I’ve never seen or understood before.

[@jonpaulvetter9968]

What aftermarket taillights are those on the red ZR1? Morimoto?

[@armandoestrada8499]

Yes!

[@Butterffinger5678]

If I recall, you could do red, blue, or yellow custom stitching in the last few years of special order ZR1s. 🤔

[@transam2002ws6]

That's red C6 ZR1 is nasty. Fran will be raising the compression on his. As soon as he puts aside the money. Steve what's the name of the theme song for the intro to the red ZR1 on the dyno?

[@jimdoesburg9568]

Nice job guys that motor is great!

[@rafatrill]

I've been doing some thinking and I think Kyle from 1320 is bring his Corvette to RPM garage!! 😏😎

[@perryconnor6373]

My H/C/I C6Z is running 27* of timing in it along with all of the similar setup C6 Z06 cars that have come out of the same shop. None of us have had any issues and have put many HARD miles on our cars. I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means but there has to be more to the 27* of timing jokes lol. Plenty of cars are running that number just fine and making very good reliable power. If there's more to it then I'd surely love to know, I'm always down to learn a thing or two.

If Jay Leno or Seinfeld show up, I’m streaking. But Seinfeld is not a corvette guy so I doubt it would be him. Seinfeld once said, “Corvettes are like the F word”. At first people think that he meant their cool. But, it’s the opposite. He doesn’t use curse words in his stand up. - _ -

So 28-29 degrees of timing is to high for N/A LS engines?

Yes

@@RaceProvenMotorsports I got a lot to learn. I have mine crank on 15° idle at 16-18, and WOT 28-29° Not to mention my turbo cars run 12-17° at 20 pounds of boost. Is that different numbers if tunning with Holley?

"Supercharger boost controller" 😂

[@mrnonamenobody6910]

🤔 i seen a procharged car that was pullied to the max and they had a wastegate on the pipe that was controlled by boostcontroller with co2.

[@mrnonamenobody6910]

Hey Fran what are your thoughts on adding a wastegate to a centri blower setup.

[@JBC1154]

@@mrnonamenobody6910 I dont know exactly what that would be. ; but centrifugal builds boost with rpm. Pulleys, timing and fuel really is all that would give you more horsepower.

[@mrnonamenobody6910]

@@JBC1154 I know but was told that the reasoning behind using the wastegate was for boost by gear boost control etc....so that even tho it was pullied for 30lbs of boost( just using this as a number I don't know what max is for the setup)...the car would only see 10lbs in 1st...15lbs in 2nd...etc..so in a way in would act like a turbo car.

[@JBC1154]

@@mrnonamenobody6910 boost by gear would almost be redundant for a supercharger because they cant over boost. But maybe if you just spin because of wheel speed when boost builds. But honestly never heard of boost controller or boost by gear
