- We brought Mickey and Quinn up north from @throtl so that their Know How could help balance Suppy’s “No! How??” on our epic Chevy Corvette C6 Z06 collab. Together we’ve got big plans for that already darn decent 472 wheel horsepower, 7 liter LS7 engine -- but first we gotta outfit it with the premium brakes, wheels and tires you need for a track car.

Something about Zac calmly talking about the 'vette while ripping donuts in it was just awesome.
MERICA
Yes !
@@gapcityracing6086
The intro was sort of top gear like with a couple donuts thrown in.
If it was me I would have done the doughnuts first before putting on the new rubber! But I guess they got them broke in quicker anyways cleaned the oil off them!
"The most useless tool in a tool box is a hammer, because anything can be used as a hammer"- Suppy
Boss if bosses.
If you haven't used an impact as hammer, you definitely haven't worked on enough stuff...
How am I suppose to hammer a nail with a screw driver?
Suppy must not own Dayton wheels on his car 😎🤷
@@rudeboirasta3629 flip it over and handle = hammer head
You need our Heads Cam Package 😁
Can you talk them out of that Edlebrock too????
Thinking the same thing 😂😂 stage 4 package
Listen to these guys.
hope you guys are taking care of the valve drop issues these cars are notorious for before adding boost
2006 cars also have oiling issues esp with modern tires. My friends seized his engine at an autocross on street Michelins because of oil starvation.
whats the issue? ... does the valve ping the piston or something?
@@westonholmes9503 There's a non zero chance that the valves will drop and blow the motor. Tons of documentated cases online. Fixing the heads costs 2-3k while a new ls7 costs around 18k. So most owners just go ahead and do the heads. Many often elect to port the heads while they're out.
Yes sir - they really needed to take care of that first
@@westonholmes9503 some cylinder head casting that came from 3rd a party manufacturer for GM had problems with the valve guides and some could be affected and have some valve to guide clearance issues that could potentially lead to a valve getting stuck and to a failure.
There are solutions
I'm loving this bolt on boys series
It's seriously the best
Yep
It's Cool
BOLT-ON BOIZ

@@RindosRides
Nothing new to the Game
Suppy, I agree with you. The left side of the car is determined by when you are in the driver's seat.
Definatly the case in bmw and peugeots official documentation.
Its pretty much standard for the automotive world yet so many people still don't get it.
Why is this even a question? It’s not debatable
should have kept it N/A. Cammed LS7s sound nuts
There's no better sound than a cammed ls screaming at 7000 rpms.
I agree my heart broke a bit when saw the supercharger
It’s gonna boom
Church
That’s literally my build imma do
The supercharger is really gonna send those valves deep into the engine. Thought for sure they would upgrade the faulty valve train.
Facts it's a time bomb
That blower is shitty anyways, doesn't make power
@@coreycarter8469 I've heard about those superchargers being bullshit on rpm motorsports. I'm an NA guy myself.
These guys at are not car guys that know there shit. They buy a turd and try to polish it without doing any research
Savagegeese interviewed the C6 Z06 engineers recently and they confirmed that the "valve issue" has been hyped up on the internet.
I love that Throtl and Hoonigan combined, two of my favorite channels on youtube to watch.
Throtl sucks man. They slam everything with boy racer parts
@@dcskate1022 clearly Hoonigan think you’re wrong, stop being bitter on the internet
@@c_lakindick it’s makes sense financially for hoonigan and throtl to get together since they failed miserably at parts distribution.
@@dcskate1022 got any sources to claim they "failed at parts distribution" or are you just making stuff up to make yourself feel better?
@@chandlerbraaten847 they literally openly admitted parts weren’t getting shipped and wait times were months long.
2nd time saying this but you guys need to address the valvetrain on the LS7 - they love to drop valves on the stock valvetrain , it would suck to have that happen on you guys
Not to be that dude, but the series is already done. Like every job on the car is already done, that's how filming a show works.
@@SnowPowerz so the car is probably blown by now ?
Agreed. Specially before adding boost the valves are a top priority.
Think I’d go centrifugal vs roots. Less weight, less heat soak and you’re only gonna go 7-8psi unless you’re upgrading some internals. Remember, 427 small block. Not a lot of extra meat between cylinders housing those 11:1 powder metal paint cans. And yes, true the valve guides while you’re at it.
Bingo
Just need a good heads cam setup
@@Cjredwards- I don’t disagree. Mine is N/A & I’m totally happy with it. I’m running Texas speed LS7S cam with cooks 1-7/8 & borla. The car sounds very good, runs good.
Im sure it was free but yeah bad call
@@motorgearhead 100%. I'm running Texas Speed heads and 242/250 cam and it makes 575rwhp on 91. The pistons are also far too light to tolerate boost, and the cooling system needs steam vents to prevent the rear cylinders from premature failure. A choppy and snarly NA build is the most American thing you can do with America's Sports Car.
I thought putting a blower on an ls7 without extensive motor work was a no go? Most ls guys I talk to say they want an ls3 if they go with forced induction?
You are most definitely right! Some money should've went into get getting fixed heads. Pistons and ring gaps on the Ls7 aren't intended for boost. It's all for n/a powa
AFAIK you only need to change the pistons and heads to lower the compression, i love these guys but sometimes they do things without thinking, if they keep the engine stock with the Supercharger they are giving away a time bomb to someone.
@@joealex65 10/10 will either bend or shoot a rod out the block or drop a valve. Especially if someone drives it aggressively. Will be an expensive paper weight of a motor afterwards
They also picked the absolute worst blower made for it.
Can you make short 2 minute videos of Suppy explaining things, and make a series? I will absolutely be using the brake bleeding by yourself method he described. If that was a video on it's own it would be a HUGE help. Hell make a separate channel called "Suppy and Quinn Shortcuts" or something. Quinn is also insanely handy and helpful with the tips and tricks.
Best car for the money, hands down!
Hand built 427, stick shift, no frills, fat rear end, monster front end, and an exhaust note.
Saweeet!
I like how they hit us with the “affordable” or “bang for your buck” angle as if this isn’t a 40-50K car lol. That aside I do love a C6, best Gen of Corvette imo.
I agree lol...have they not looked at the used c6z market? You can't get one for under 40k right now.
This was a 20k car a couple years ago
If you can’t afford a 40-50k car you may need to re-evaluate your life.
@@bryanluna9554 The C6Z has never been a 20k car unless it was a completely busted high mileage pos.
@@retiredpornape literally more than teachers make per year..
One of my all time favorite domestic cars. One of the few that I'd actually like to have in the garage.
Put down phone, seek employment
@@wileecoyote5749 ...me? lol
Hope the heads get taken care of!
Was going to ask what they are doing for the heads/valve drop!!!
@@hellsbells7710 I was curious of this part too...I watched fresh kicks valves drop in one of his vids with the same year zo6
You can hit 650HP NA pretty easily on a C6z almost 700 max effort. My C6Z is 660 NA. without the weight of a blower.
That's what i'm saying! An LS7 making 650+HP NA sounds and feels way better than with a dumb supercharger 😂😂
I agree! Too bad they've probably already finished recording this whole series and it's too late to change anything :/
wheel or crank?
@@GoPotato69 crank.
@@JosephDAndrea0121 they talk about wheel
I love the idea of building this car, but that's by far the worst supercharger that could have been used. Additionally, forced induction on a car without the heads being addressed would concern me.
I'm sure it's for low boost ,those guys is smart enough
@@MillionairX I never once said they don't flow. In fact, they flow rather well, especially the LS3, LS7, and LS9 variants. My comment about addressing the heads was because of the LS7's issue with dropping valves at random. Considering GM no longer makes the LS7 as a replacement should someone blow theirs up, it's become a tough path to getting another.
@@dannykim6218 They are not smart at all... a bunch of ignorant clowns.
Damn y'all chose the worst supercharger option for the C6?
Throtle - smooth operating, well oiled machine.
Hoonigans - absolute chaos.
Throttle - Mounting parts
Hoonigan - Actually doing some cool builds
Definitely one of the best Year of Corvette hands down
I know this is a sponsored give-away car, but it's a complete disservice to not do H/C too... especially give the valve guide issue!
AWESOME project 👍👍👍. The C6 Z06 is an American Icon💯%
Haven't watched it yet but I hope they replace the valve guides, put in solid stainless exhaust valves and replace the paper-thin fragile titanium rods(since I see an eforce blower). A C6 Grand Sport with it's hand built version of the LS3 has a much greater boosted power potential on the stock motor than a C6Z. Other than the engine, it's also the exact same chassis.
Stole the words out of my mouth
Not the same chassis, Z06 frame has significant weight reductions because of the magnesium and aluminum used.
From what I've heard the eforce is the worst blower, per Fran of RPM. He flames it in one of their vids lol
@@stanceswitch6419 I'll admit I didn't realize the GS had a steel chassis like a base Corvette. As for the eForce the lids leak in boost and they have a crappy port job from the factory. Kong fixes the lids, ports them them and sells them as their own blower that makes 1000+ on the LT platform. They are definitely the worst roots blower on the market when comparing blowers that use the same size rotors but they can be fixed.
As a diehard Ford guy this is one of two Chevys I seriously want
The other is an old Squarebody c10
A decent heads cam package would of put down over 600rwhp
My '85 Dodge Aries K has 47 HP to the wheels
That supercharger is crap. Mine had cam/head package. Full exhaust as well. You are correct.
But then they’d need to replace clutch and that’s a pain
C5 and c6 vetts are the best looking modern Corvette made. They'll never top it
Y’all continue to cheer me up with each content release. Thanks.
Put down phone,engage with people
I’m pretty sure some of the Hoons (if they’re even still around) know my limitations and health issues and that I’d engage the fu_k out of anyone on my way there just to thank them in person.
They’d get it.
...or not.
Honestly one of the best videos to come from hoonigan production wise
How much is the valve dropping, eyesore yellow first year car going for these days?
I've done quite a few builds on c6 vettes. Lol never a dull moment working on them.
I had a 2005 C6 with the Z51 package, victory red.
I always struggled with school work but I was dominating my grades right out of the gate freshman year and my dad wanted to give me a gift for the hard work and doing it through some bad family stuff.
I was 19 and felt like king of my college campus my sophomore year. Favorite memory was taking these two girls to get ice cream. I said I only have one seat, they replied they can share 😏 one sat in the others lap. Yep those were the days and I miss my vette. I’d love to win this car ❤️😎
I had to sell my current car(focus RS) due to overwhelming medical bills (I have a chronic auto immune disease that’s caused all sorts of issues). Wife and I are sharing the car I bought her a few years back before the financial medical chaos. Currently working my ass off to switch my current career in marketing to coding to get a pay increase to make things better.
What a story. Hope you get all that sorted. Hope you also get your hands on another corvette.
Good luck buddy. Hope everything works out
@@kebogu6123 thanks for the kind words!
@@joaquinpaul8205 me too! Best to you and yours!
Can't wait for the next video. I've always wanted a c6 vette so much. And to top it all off you are doing all of the same mods I wanted on it.
Cool idea
They definitely copied youse
Been watching these guys for a minute and the hit markers still get me lol
For all of those yelling about the valve drop issues, watch the SavageGeese episode on the C6Z. According to the GM engineer who was at the helm of the ZO6 program it only affected something like 3% of ZO6's prior to 2008, it was a single batch of cylinder heads that had a machining issue.
So a 1 in 33 chance? I'd fix the heads. Considering there are a number of shops that do a booming biz in this area, seems like a wise move.
Incorrect information. I’ve built 50+ LS7’s
Every valve guide in every motor was out of spec.
For anyone who owns one. Replace them with a superior head that also fixes the multiple valve geometry issues, or have them fixed.
@@vanjabi8827 I'm just stating what the GM engineer said. Also from my understanding the issues were only present in 2006-2008
@@vanjabi8827 that's doesn't sound inexpensive.
Every engine has it's issues but this is why I'm leaning at boosting my m54b30. LS swap would be like 15k done right with AC. I could boost and build a separate iron m52tu as a back up for that much .
I’ll gladly tel that gm engineer he’s a moron to his face bc I’ve seen it numerous times
Favorite American car ever! I’m so glad you guys picked this car
Z06 prices bout to be lit
They already are in my area lol 38-50k for one it's nuts.
They are already lit since 2020 😂😂

This car is definitely built by the sponsors. Check the corvette boards for what corvette owners run, it's typically not these parts.
Bought an '09 LS3 C6 a week ago. I have little car experience but wanted to get into it. This video makes my purchase that much more exciting!
I've said this for years, the Corvette is the best bang for tour buck. They can be setup many different ways, tons of parts, availability, price and most importantly performance. Nice Lambo.... (American V8) vroom ✌️

Seeing the throtl boys on another channel is like seeing your grade school teacher during summer break.
Been lovin' the Throtl / Hoonigan collabs!
Hoonigan single handedly raising prices on C6Zs as soon as I’m in the market for one
The whole time I've watched throtl I've never known Quinn can actually rip. I know he's a bummer boi but still! Dude fucking rips it up. These colabs of throtl and hoonigan are what I didn't know I needed.
I always watched both but together is the best!
The ride is "best bang 4 buck" but: paint thst 🍋 blue, blk or dark green. Perfect dream car 👉💯🎯
Need an exhaust jack to compress the suspension before tightening all those control arm bolts… all those bushings are going to scream when you set it down 😂
I think these guys know what they're doing
At least you guys didn't twin turbo it like every other C6 Z06 on UA-cam, so props for that, but you really should've kept it NA. Hardly anybody dose NA builds, and an LS7 with just some upgraded cams sounds insane. Also those aftermarket headlights do not work at all on a C6. They're way too angular for a car that has such a rounded and smooth design.
I think the main reason is because they are trying to keep it 50 state legal, i think the Edelbrock blowers are 50 state legal and that's also why they are getting a custom exhaust with cats.
I think the real reason is it's a quick banger of a show not a full build. Building a nasty car na is 10 time more work then just slapping a blower on it and meeting the goal in mind. If it was a personal car and not a giveaway maybe full built motor but time and money are the barriers to an NA car.
I'm so happy there's an archer reference in here!
Let’s see some torque wrenches in this one 😂

Really need to fix those heads before throwing boost at an LS7. It’ll drop those valves faster than you can say “yo pop the hood.” Needs a catch can setup bad too. Blow-by is insane on these things. Good to have N/A. Mandatory with boost.
Confusing how Mickey is modifying the Stagea in Japan and the C6 in the Us at the same time :p

Love the Nextel chirp in between scene breaks
I've heard terrible things about heat soak on those Edelbrock supercharger kits. Should have gone with an A&A centrifugal kit, which is also CARB legal.
Everyone knows E-force SC sucks on LS. I agree if they wanted boost they shouldve bought A&A or ECS.
Vortec Like @Matt777.
Suppy: CAD works for loosers 15:05

The commentary 💀 break line hack 🔑 thanks Suppy
Also can we get a music beat choice mix? Always on point.
im trying to figure out why the breakline hack isnt standard practice.
I seriously doubt that doing brakes his way results in a firm pedal with no need to bleed. It may work for a quick job but no way does it get all the air out
How I've missed Suppy, we need more of Hert and Suppy together...
You’d be a fool to not change those heads. Everybody knows about the valve issue
There is a chance for sure... But it did only effect a small percentage of the C6Z06 pre 2008... Was a single batch run of mis-machined heads... So not every one of them is effected... But like you, I wouldn't wanna take that chance.
Boosting the LS7 isn't the route I'd go, but as long as you enjoy and keep up the good video content...great!
You gotta tighten the suspension with it under load or the bushings will all be twisted
That's a simple but beautiful build. Dream car right there

The wheels are ugly but man, what a good car 😂
Heads, cam, full exhaust LT's and 3" to the back, MSD intake Manifold and a good CAI would make 625+ at the wheels while taking care of the valve dropping issue and not gained like 100 to 150 lbs on the car. Still came out awesome though.
You should've kept it NA and let that LS7 SING! Anyone boosting a C6 Z06 deserves jail time! 😂
Picked up a clean base C6 in 2020 for $10k and did every bolt on mod. The most fun car I have in the stable. Just picked up a C5 that I'm working on. These cars are just a stupid value for the money! The only downside is everyone thinks I have money. They don't realize I bought Corvettes cause I'm a cheap ass HAHAHA.

Different strokes
It'll be fun to watch this car get built, in comparison to the straight pipes. They just bought the exact same car. Yellow 2006 Z06. Building it to beat super cars.
It’s a shame they are putting new headlights on it those are so iconic and good looking

Corvettes are absolutely best bang for your buck if all you care about is performance.
Goes after 1500$ headlights but won’t fix heads that are prone to drop a valve and kill the motor then turns around and boost it. Y’all really giving a grenade with the pin pulled to some poor sucker…bad move man

Should have kept the stock titanium exhaust and got long tube headers that actually make power instead...
The stock exhaust was not titanium and they're in CA, so no public longtube installs for them.
@@ScottO84 you are correct and i am wrong, i was thinking of the C5 Zo6 which has titanium exhaust. My mistake. I still stand behind the car needing long tubes dispite the laws...
A nice set of cnc ported heads, hot cam, and long tubes would be the route I'd go over the emissions legal supercharger route.
@@dabbindogs2690 They could have gone with a nice set of heads to address the valve issues, so adding a decent cam at that point would have gone a long way. It's pretty easy to get these cars to 550 RWHP between those things and some longtubes, so I definitely agree with your choice.
@@ScottO84 agreed, at the end of the day not dropping exhaust valves should have been a priority lol
Suppy said my favorite line ever. “Put the thing on the thing” 😂😂😂
Leaves the caliper hanging from itself 🫥
Not to mention that you can cross country a Corvette. Not a lot of room for luggage but it's comfortable enough. And you average high 20's mpg. Get a Thule roof rack and go track to track running 10's
Nice! Suppy bleeds brake lines the same way I do. Didn’t think anyone else did it that way.
