on the table it looked like catted pipes? did those go on with the exhaust? did those throw a code? also link to fuel trims relearn hp increase? Would also like to see a 500 or 1000 mile dyno to see if the computes went to a different table and HP went back to near stock. I know for the LT camaro platforms 2018 and higher several tuners witness this with just bolt on and no tunes.

How can y let us know what shops are bad without gettinf urself in a bind

Aux pump ?

Hi Eric, I’m interested in buying everything in need from you to make my 2019 ZL1 the same as bad pumpkin. I’m in Australia, can you remote tune it? Thanks. Anthony.

Fantastic explanations. I've had a 19 zle for about a year and a half now, and have just been afraid to start touching "larger" modifications beyond intake and exhaust due to fear of things breaking. Had an FK8 Type R for 5 years before the camaro which was FBO and tuned, and was nothing but issues. Overheating on the track, and blew 2 head gaskets. Out of everything you've done, what would you say are 100% safe upgrades youd reccomend? I daily the car and track it. I was thinking headers as I'd like a little more noise than my AWE touring cat back gave me, but not sure.

7 hp is 7 more hp. Thanks for the video.

Shouldn't that be the other way around. If it's a luxury, shouldn't be , it's what you want not what you need?

Peitz did my flex fuel mod and picked up 35 rqhp (calculated for dynojet from mustang dynos) on a bone stock 2021 Z51. Cost was about $4,800, but the bang for the buck on the C8 was the best I could come up with. Unlike my C6 and C7, as the gentleman stated in the video, it's not your uncle's C7. The cost to HP Tuners alone was $1,600 for unlocking the ECM, $400 for credits, and $400 for a MPVI3 module. So before Alex even got started, the cost alone to HP Tuners was $2,400. Then the DSX unit is a must have when going to E85. I just felt the flex fuel was the best bang for the buck for unlocking some rwhp.....................now if someone could come up with a safe line lock that wouldn't crater the computers in the car, that would be great.

I’m in Ft Myers Cape Coral area, may hit you up for some work on my C8 Z06.

Eric You recommended Manson pushrods, can you comment on dia. and tip style, taper for a ZL1 w/Johnson Lifters.

That's powerful 👏

All good points and great advice Erik. Love the series.

I had a set of hooker headers on a 1971 C3 454 back in the day. I regretted it soon enough as the heat and the, "header ringing" made any drive longer than an hour a tiring experience. I mention this as i ordered in May of 2015 a C7 LT2 8SPEED 2016 Z51 STINGRAY. I got it with 3 miles on it and now have 14k miles. I have an opportunity to receive a set of stainless steel 2018 C7 Z06 exhaust manifolds. My question is would that flow well enough to work with the "working mans" set up you did at your shop instead of headers ? I tried wrapping the headers to contain the heat but the heat caused the headers to crack and fail.

Lots of great advise. Thanks!

I met Eric. He actually fixed my girlfriend’s damaged transmission and rebuilt it everything he says in this video and how he is and how he runs his shop he preaches what he talks it makes me want to buy a Camaro or Corvette if you guys have problems with your car take it to Eric. He’s a real deal most professional shop I’ve ever seen in South Florida.

Dropped my Cash off today and LOOKING forward to my parts arriving so Eric can get started on my Vette. Thanks for showing me the shop today; it was WORTH the 100 mile drive down today.

Hi Erik, cool postings and just wanna say I'm 100% happy with the work you've done and will not hesitate recommending you to anyone who asks. I'll be in touch to set up the tuning, thanks Erik!!

My grandfather always told me, "Go cheap, pay twice."

cant wait for my build to start. I have delt with eric in the past and he drove 100 miles to tow my LS1 trans am to his shop to fix it 15 yrs ago.

Best shop I have ever been too.

What exhaust system and size

I have a 2022 Z06 70th Anniversary with these Performance modes - Borla Cat-back Titanium Race Exhaust - JLT Cold Air Intake - 91MM Port and Polished Solar Throttle Bodies - Solar Blutooth Controller - 2m Fabrication C8 Z06 Offroad Cat Bypass Pipes A cold start is unreal. You can hear this car coming miles away. Its a dam Race Car now. These are the mods I have done. The car is much faster and scary loud. It's amazing. The only issue is that it is very rich. The worst part is I smell of strong gasoline. But the car is a Monster. It's so much more bad ass. Then I have done Carbon Fiber everything. :)

"DYNO TIME" no dyno shown

I REALLY wanna see the follow up video lol

Another great episode with more great advice!

Well … this is something new to me. I’ve never been able to do this and shops give every single excuse why I can’t. Props up to you for doing this 😎

Awesome!

You the only shop to put the industry on blast but a tuner is doing the same. Alex Flores puts everyone on blast also.

Get the tuning sorted so we can see/hear a full pull!

Great video and a lot of work here. I know because I have paid to get all these parts installed on my 2024 HTC Z06. I would love to see what happens after the reset of the long term fuel trims.

What lap times and top speeds would you expect this car would be able to reach?

You nailed it man. I am definitely guilty of lacking in customer service after 20 years in this industry. It definitely takes a toll. Thanks for putting the last few videos out. They have opened my eyes back up to where I’m falling short.

Awesome video. The advise you give is spot on for both customer and shop owner.

Your attention to detail is impressive. Taking off eventuri to install the throttle bodies for an accurate reading was next level. thank you.

You and I spoke about this over the phone; that's why I called your shop. The most important thing in a relationship is communication-sending and receiving. That was the problem I had with other shops; they sometimes replied within a week or so. You have answered all my emails and questions, as I stated in my email. I am on the road for my job and will be in touch in early March. Mr. Phelps

tuned in, Great video

Great advice Erik!!! Can’t stress enough the CYA. Erik was kind enough to help me get going with this, and opening my eyes on the importance of an attorney vouched liability waiver. Doesn’t matter how good and thorough you are, things happen, and modifying cars will ALWAYS carry an inherit risk. Save yourself from future headaches, and potential liabilities (I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it can get nasty) and CYA!!! Set expectations!! Be clear and upfront. Under promise and over deliver!! Great job Erik in educating folks.

Do Kong ported blowers come with upgraded cooling bricks ie C&R?

Keep um coming. You're awesome man! Thank you!

Thank you for this. Just started a gm performance shop specializing in race cars, road course and time attack car. Lot of suspension and aero. Of course reliable power too. Little more niche. Learning how to tune currently. Thanks again!

For making 900 wheel c7z which is better, magnuson 2650 with dsx port plates or this with harrop port plates.

The car really wakes up mid range for sure after the intake and throttle bodies! Throw the Soler Throttle controller it’s awesome. Having the Corsa track exhaust with HF cats is another level for sound cannot imagine the kooks installed. Next !!!!

Ok so all show and no go. Won’t waste my money. Sending my blower to Kong anyway.

Man I have a C8 Z06.... WHAT are those wheels and specs?!? Please let me know if possible!

Shame that car doesn't have black rims or at least black lipped rims. They would definitely set it off. I have Forgelune 3pc on my Hellcat with custom powder coated inlays and they really help and look great with the black car

Great job guys!!!! This should be the standard by which all other comparisons are measured. Good stuff!

If you were to race two of these with the exact same mods / driver weight would they both be about even or would a "monday car" like this one lose? Really considering selling my c6 z06 for one of these and i'm kind of surprised how low this car was compared to the others. Great video!!!

Didn’t watch the vid just stopped by to dislike and say to you for why you would destroy a already perfect car, that’s the point of the zl1 but aye your money

This video deserves more likes. Great presentation and clear and concise. Top level shit 🤘

A lot of the bolt-on videos I've seen don't see much beyond about 20 wheel up top, but they see like 30-50 wheel torque in the low and mid-range.
