😆😆😆 Did you really leave a comment on your own KZbin, telling us to "SMASH the like button?" That's Lame! Here is a tip: Put out good content and you will get likes. Don't tell us. We ALL get how this all works. Smh To much going on that's not necessary in this video. Corny

The Giant Pacific Octopus is capable of lifting up to five pounds with each sucker! AND they have like 2,200 suckers so at 600+ ftlbs of torque the GPO should be able to hold this car so it can do a standing burnout only using about 120 suckers… which sounds like not that many, but the Octoguy would definitely be sweating!! So you guys killed it again as always! Sounds amazing! 🔥🔥💥

[@vivid_racing]

You never fail to amaze us with your extraordinary fun facts, thanks again for watching!

[@ikeman5774]

Awesome video. Love that ZL1!!!

[@vivid_racing]

Thank you Ike! Hopefully, we get to do more stuff with that ZL1.

[@AZMTB]

I had one of these and then went to a 1LE. Such a fun car. This stainless works exhaust sounds pretty good!

[@koonyeezy6433]

Why’d you go with the 1le after the zl1?

[@ragtopdlxzl1]

Those gains are impressive, we went with headers, off-road connectors and the stock mufflers with a mild to wild toggle switch... looks similar to your system minus the cats...

[@ricardof9394]

First time watching your channel but I enjoyed it. I like what that sticker says on the back of the Camaro and that’s what I do when someone tailgates me and I have a black ZL1 Camaro.

[@vivid_racing]

Hey Ricardo, thank you for watching! We appreciate the support and let us know how we can help you on your ZL1 build by emailing us at [e-mail]!

@@vivid_racing okay thanks. I had to come back because I didn’t hit the subscribe button the first time.

[@thegoat4232]

How much for the package?

[@lf3566]

Great video

[@vivid_racing]

Thanks!

[@mjc3502]

That's a typical gain from headers, off road X pipe and stock catback. The mufflers add sound with very little power for the massive price tag. My first round of mods was cheap texas speed headers, off road X pipe, roto fab and a 9.1 lower. Made 652hp 723tq. A10 cat, full weight ran a 10.4@134 mph.

[@vivid_racing]

Texas Speed gets after it for real!

[@NorthPoleRacing]

Car sounds good!

Stainless Works doesn't disappoint! Thanks for watching!

Good video from your neighbor down the street 🙂

Thank you Mike! Stay tuned for more American Muscle madness.

[@Turbo329]

I have these headers. Any way I can get that HP Tuners file from you to use as a baseline?

[@vivid_racing]

We can sell it to you

[@vmaund33]

My 22 6 speed zl1 finally arrived. 30 miles on her so far

Enjoy.

[@albertbeltran7094]

How much did it cost you to add those?

[@Race_Car2ss]

Do you recommend speed engineering headers and with a x pipe?

[@vivid_racing]

absolutely!

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

Things must be good when you can’t stop smiling.

[@sznsixx3905]

Thats a 2018 or 17

[@marcoortega9594]

I' m really surprised by how low the HP was on that stock run. I was under the impression that these cars are getting around 550hp to the rear stock on 93 octane. Are we seeing your results solely because of how hot it was and 91 octane? Or is there a chance this ZL1 had a terrible break in procedure and burns oil/ is just weaker than the average ZL1 on the road? Thanks!

[@vivid_racing]

Mustang dyno read low

[@vrtuned4246]

Much of this is due to the ambient temps and of course the low reading Mustang dyno. The last ZL1 we tested here in November produced roughly 35whp more due to the temp difference.

[@marcoortega9594]

@@vivid_racing Got it! Thank you

[@marcoortega9594]

@@vrtuned4246 Noted. Thanks!

[@mikehawk120]

I agree OP. I tuned my 2012 gt500 (550hp) at emerald coast racing and the temp was 90plus, but on a 93 basic time with a cat back, and I was just north of 500rwhp.

[@SuperiorSteamnaples]

Why is it blowing so much smoke 😮

[@prince-wr5is]

What can I do to an 13 stocked v6 ZL1?

[@vivid_racing]

I'm not sure there is a V6 ZL1, as they only come in V8 platforms. But there is many things you can do to a ZL1 - feel free to email us at [e-mail] for further assistance!

[@sojunx]

Top 3 upgrades, we changed exhaust.

[@vivid_racing]

It's a must, in our opinion 😎

91 octane in camaros should be illegal, no offense

[@vrtuned4246]

The good news is we are setting him up with a flex fuel system so he will soon be running ethanol :)

[@SilencetheFear]

Having a bumper sticker on a zl1 should be too

[@dennistate9951]

Show us the dyno curve

[@vivid_racing]

look at the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXmWgZVon7uee7s

[@mjc3502]

2020 you said? That car is a 2017- 2018 with that rear and tailings. Couple things for those modding their zl1 and spending $$. I have a zl1, cam, f.b.o, e85, Maggie, etc I switched from the rotofab, to the rotofab big gulp. Gained 2hp and my peak hp went from 6,200 to 6,400prm no power gain for the money. Roto fab acted shocked by this.

[@Highlander1432]

Did u retune ?

[@mjc3502]

@@Highlander1432 OF COURSE IT DID A TUNE. Your a/f is off and it needs it. Made 2hp gain after.

Best mod is to chop the top and windshield off so you can see around the pillars.

Haha yeah and door sills

Thats not a 2020 camaro u can literally tell from the taillights unless they change the lights which is stupid

[@johnnyturbo8460]

I feel there is no real need for her to be in the video. We don't need a person to introduce us to who's talking. All they need to do is state their name if they want and their position there in how it pertains to what's going on. She made it unnecessarily awkward. With that, I don't feel this is a company I would take my ZL1 too.

[@vivid_racing]

Thank you Johnny Spielberg

[@johnnyturbo8460]

@Vivid Racing I take that as a compliment. Spielberg made some AWESOME movies. So maybe listen to "Johnny Spielberg." It may just help up your subscribers' numbers.

[@vivid_racing]

@@johnnyturbo8460 Sales are better than subs :)

[@johnnyturbo8460]

@Vivid Racing cool, so keep her in sales. 😁👍 Lol, you may get more subs that would make it worth wild if you do.

[@andrewf8486]

I have a hard time believing that you guys are car people given that you both called the collector a connector. Get one of the real car guys out here.

[@matt-ts8cx]

It seems like she might be used to driving slow 4 cylinders ..... that's right american muscle is much better.

[@vivid_racing]

No, she's used to her C6 Corvette though!

She's cute
