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
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.

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

Man, check out @9:06 Never expected perfect posture incorporated into a bass power stance for automotive work. I feel like headbanging to the sound of wrenches now.
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 ✌️
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.
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.
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 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 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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Most people don't realize the level of racing pedigree engineered into Corvettes, which really began when the C5.R was unveiled.

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.
Seeing the throtl boys on another channel is like seeing your grade school teacher during summer break.
Cool idea
They definitely copied youse
Super stoked to see this build! I’m actually in the middle of building a c6 on my channel too. Velocity yellow is best color for sure IMO. Cheers!
Wonder what kind of exotic we could smoke with this thing... 🤣
Throtl shouldn't be involved with hooligan. Get outta here.
First DDE best car😂😂 and give them the 3rd lose..
Hoonigan*
Stop turning hoonigan videos into infomercials for your parts
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.
BIGGGGG nono the headlights. NEVER go aftermarket with headlights.
Matter of opinion. I like em
A c6 zo6 is my dream car and has been since it was new! 🤤
Thx Soupy, for teaching everyone how to get corrosive paint eating fluid all over the place.
You mean the brake fluid could erase the paint off the brake calipers?
@@ramykotb9883 absolutely lmao
@@ramykotb9883 Leave it on there.... that stuff will make even baked paints and powder coating wipe off.....
@@ramykotb9883 Yes. It happens often. Start walking around a parking lot and pay attention to calipers... you will start to notice when droplets or puddles where left as it soakes straight down to the metal and softens it until it just comes off like latex.
You obviously clean it right away duh
Suppys teaching moment are the best parts
video about the c6 z06... shows clips of c7 z06 winning
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.
You should've kept it NA and let that LS7 SING! Anyone boosting a C6 Z06 deserves jail time! 😂
Most people don't realize the level of racing pedigree engineered into Corvettes, which really began when the C5.R was unveiled. I gotta say the C5 Z06 is a better bargain, but you can't go wrong with any C5 or C6 as long as it has the 6 speed manual. Fantastic cars, capable of beating just about anything in any racing category with just a few upgrades. These will be future collectibles for sure.
Don't think anyone asked
The wheels are ugly but man, what a good car 😂
Hell yes, Zack is the best. Love it he’s back. 🤘
This feels like 30 minute commercial.. should have known throttle was involved
I have to agree definitely a lot of name drops during their episode reminds me a lot of the latest hunting shows nothing but a infomercial
@@coffeensteak I stopped watching Throttle for the same reason. It’s clear everything they bolt on is given to them and in return the videos are just infomercials. Great business plan for making money but annoying to watch.
@@kamtanzzz replying to all my comments is a crazy person move.. I’m going to keep leaving comments because I believe these type of videos degrade for the rest of the channel we’ve all come to know and love.. seems as though people agree with me based upon the multiple thumbs up.. have a good one
@@kamtanzzz Hoonigan has a team of employees that come up with content ideas. Negative feedback on content is feedback enough for them to make a change or not depending on how frequent the negative feedback. Hoonigan is a business and as viewers we’re the customers. I’ll voice my opinion into the great ibis of the UA-cam comment section as much as I like because I love the product so much I will complain if i don’t like the direction it’s headed... As a grown up, I understand that’s all the power I have because like you said.. the world doesn’t revolve around me.
@@kamtanzzz I’m sorry for my phones autocorrect, yes I meant abyss.. but sir you’re starting to scare me and the rest of the children. People are allowed to have and voice separate opinions.
Suppy: CAD works for loosers 15:05
Me actively doing CAD work: Quietly sighs
It’s a shame they are putting new headlights on it those are so iconic and good looking
I agree the oem headlights have aged like fine wine
Nice! Suppy bleeds brake lines the same way I do. Didn’t think anyone else did it that way.
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
Hopefully they've got cameras rolling when it happens....
At least LS’s are cheap
@@Erelio LS7's aren't...
@@Erelio what crap you smoking? Ls7 have titanium rods
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.
You made a nice car look sh!t. Great job, you've turned into throtl
Different strokes
How I've missed Suppy, we need more of Hert and Suppy together...
Boosting the LS7 isn't the route I'd go, but as long as you enjoy and keep up the good video content...great!
I'm so happy there's an archer reference in here!
Corvettes are absolutely best bang for your buck if all you care about is performance.
Good to see Suppy and Zak on a show together.
Hoonigan i like before watching ALWAYS ... been around 5 years i love this channel
Best all around car ever made has been the corvette series ifykyk
Y'all can we get lights on the floor shining up into the wheel wells and under the car so we can see?
They make a hammer for a reason. Your hands will thank you squirt 🤛🏼
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
Love the Nextel chirp in between scene breaks
