If there's one thing you know about Zac, it's that he won’t be caught driving a vehicle that doesn’t CHOP. On this episode, Zac takes his (new then) C6 Corvette Grand Sport and makes it a proper Chop Monster by installing a Texas Speed BFD Camshaft, PRC 260cc LS3 cylinder heads, and exhaust consisting of 1-7/8” Long tubers with a 3” X-pipe. The result is an absolutely savage sounding Corvette with 550whp/535 Ft-Lbs, and just enough street manners to function as a daily driver in city traffic.

I love Zac because he’s a gym bro on the surface but underneath that he is SUCH a nerd about engines. This man knows his numbers.
those are not mutually exclusive, i would argue they are a recipe for a well rounded person

The gym is kind of like modding yourself..
It's ok to have brain and braun
Zac always surprises me with his LS/LT knowledge. More build videos from the Lord of Chop are needed.
"That's a bolt-on kit. Should be easy!"
Yeah yeah, famous last words... 😂😁😜
And these builds from Lord Chop are always a bit wild, I love it! 😎🤟
Good to see Zac working on a LS again. That is my absolute favorite vette/body style! Sweet build!.
Loving this project garage content guys. It Reminds me of grassroots content, and why I started watching all those years ago.
This year hasn't been easy for the viewers, and I can only imagine what it's been like for everyone at Hoonigan, but I sure am glad to see that everyone seems to be doing pretty well. Also stoked to watch some Gymkhana Grid in the near future!
Keep up the rad content and keep wrenching!
The c6 is my favorite corvette of all time. The shreditors really did their thing with this too 😂
Why would the C6 be your favorite generation?! I mean I like um too but definitely not my favorite generation! The C4 is my favorite generation but the C7 is definitely a better corvette than the C6! And the C4 is my favorite generation because that's what I drooled over my whole childhood! I was born in 82 so all new corvettes were C4s until I was 16!
@@C4VETTELT1c6 z06 has a 7.0l ls7 largest displacement motor they ever dropped ina production car in Chevy and heck of a sound then the ls9 with supercharger in the c6 zr1 😂 trust they the best
@itzzray9263 no they aren't!! That LS7 is a $20,000 dollar problem just waiting to show itself!! The LT4 in the C7 ZO6 is a way better option!! And a lot more power and reliability! The C6 is not better than the C7!! I'm sorry but they don't make the corvette worse as they go along!! That LS7 is a joke of a engine!!! I'll never own one because of that LS7 you like so much!! I think you need to do some research on it!!! If you buy one it is a ABSOLUTE MUST to spend a few grand and fix the heads!! If not you'll be insanely sorry!! I guarantee it!!! And sorry to tell you but the 7.0 is a 427!! Not bigger than the 454!!! Or 496!! Or the 472 Cadillac or the 500 Cadillac! Where did you come up with this crap?!?!
@@C4VETTELT1damn shithead ya ever heard of someone personally liking something on their own? fuck ur vette. stop sucking ur own dick buddy😂
@@C4VETTELT1 The valve dropping issue was actually due to an extremely minor (yet still impactful) manufacturing error by one of the suppliers for the valves. It was actually discovered to be that the error was so minute and would only actually cause an issue in a very small amount of the engines tht were produced in tht time, in the already small pool of engines that were made in tht time frame. SavageGeese has a video where they interview some of the top engineers that worked on corvettes in the past coupole generations. Basically there was a small time frame in which the manufacturing was confirmed to have the issue, yet even in those affected in tht time frame only a fraction of those actualy had an issue. The thing is, the corvette is so mass produced that the pool was big enough for enough people to talk about it and for it to be a valid concern when looking into one. That being said, most of them that are still on the road today have already had tht fixed or never had the issue to begin with. And dude, no shit, a supercharged newer gen v8 is gonna be "better" than an engine designed 20 years thats Naturally Aspirated. Your self assured ignorance is your achilles heel. You respond to someone saying a c6 is there favorite with, "why?!" the give zero explanation as tp why it shouldnt be someones favorite and then say your reason for liking the c4 (which is widely considered one of the most godawful generations) is because u grew up with it.. !!! ur logic is flawed in so many ways its hilarious u even posted these with a hint of seriousness. I grew up playing need for speed and the corvettes were always iconic to me, enough so, that i bought myself a C6 6 speed and I still get sompliments from people saying that they would take mine or just a c6 in general over the new ones because to a lot of people the C6 corvette is "The most corvette corvette". Obviously if you just want the best car to go 0-60 than newer one is better but at the point might as well look for an electric car if performance is all u care about.
I did this to my C6 on jackstands. I just rotated the ac condenser and radiator up far enough to get the cam in as well as remove the rack to get the balancer off and on. What a pain it was
When TvT is back in the States, can we see Dan’s turbo Miata vs ShartKart?
Perfect day for a chop video!! MURICAAAAA!!!
I did heads cam and long tubes on my C6 Z06 this spring, it was not fun, but the chop and the power to hand out gaps is well worth it!
I'm not a native speaker and I absolutely love when Zac explains things, he's so passionate and easy to understand when he's geeking about engines!
It wouldn’t be 4th of July without a Zach vid and some chop! Merca🫡🇺🇸
That is my absolute favorite vette/body style! Sweet build!
I’ve had a btr stage 4 in a 6.0 it was a beast loved the long tube headers
work in progress on my z06. I found it a lot easier to just slide the steering rack out the passenger side to get at the HB. wish I had the tools to drain the AC. separating the condenser/rad was BRUTAL
just gatta say its good to see Gary get some of these ads. such a character and a great new staple to the team
Not the "CHOP" i was expecting. Maybe when people say "CHOP" I'm still thinking OLD SCHOOL "CHOP"
Shredditors on point with the meme cuts today!
Plus always great to see chop dad chopping it up
damn thats so much labor involved, im glad my z51 came with a cam and full exhaust already done. Id rather have a z06 tho.
I just recently installed the One Stop Chop kit on my 5th Gen. That BFD camshaft is crazy 🤣
I've been working at an auto store. And people ask me what the difference between spark plugs and their ratings. I allways have to ask them. Well, it depends. Are you just driving your car daily, or are you building something special. I always wanna help if it's a build because I know how it is. I have 3 builds and now 4 builds. Each one was a pain to get tuned, but I can confirm spark plugs will change the way the engine runs. Spark plugs with iridium low Temps are great for stop and go traffic, but then they have the iridium gold iridium, and those are a little different. Multipoint ignition for e85, and as for nitromethan, I would recommend dual spark ignition to ensure firing is constant across all rpm ranges.
Needless to say, most customers are not building time attack monsters, but for the few who are, they ended up leaving with some goodies we hide behind the counter. One guy even got a crate motor.
Zac's builds always seem to be the ones I think about doing but haven't got the chance to yet! Lol, keep up the great content, stay classy
Tim the Tool Man doing the Chop grunt cracked me up 😂😂
Zack you are a beast keep kicking ass.
"Basically all bolt on stuff..." Also head and cam swap...legend!
That’s a sick car. BFD for ALL the chop
Man I wanted pre and post simple Dyno pulls to see the horsepower
I always make the "zachs chop senses are tingling " every time I hear a nice grunty motor
Love the don't give up may fuck it up 1 2 3 times so relatable
🔥🔥 can’t wait for the next episode
the ad with gary was the best😂
Good to see Zac working on a LS again
1:45 made me laugh harder than I should’ve 😂😂😂
Absolutely goated ITYSL clip 4:05
I have a c7 so maybe it’s different but when I did my crank bolt (Procharged my vette) you just had to remove the entire steering rack,sway bar, basically the front suspension but it’s pretty easy, instead of dropping the subframe and stuff.
Exactly just unbolt the rack and move it out the way
No it’s the same for c6, I had to do mine too because of the infamous crank hub wobble. Idk why he did all that lmao it’s really not bad at all to remove the steering rack
@@nickmackin Thanks for confirming on the C6’s! And yeah i dont know, I’m a hobbyist mechanic at best, Zach knows way more than me lol I’ve never done a cam or even pulled heads off an engine but I was watching it and thinking man I did my crank bolt way easier than Zack did😂
I need a that’s a wrap from Zack on his videos!
Damn that is some chop chop!
I always think how Zach showed up with Mike to just fuck around and drink on electric driveable coolers and has since become a staple
I didn't know that about Zach but isn't that also basically how Gary got a job at hoonigan? Just kept turning up and hanging out until one day they offered him a job
@@jono6379 future hert I’m pretty sure, and bad daddy Braddy. It’s how they recruit
Hope y’all are paying the king jr a lot
! He’s the best part of the show
I love the Tim Taylor references. So perfect
Dang Low Tone Garry is not what I thought I was missing in my life but SHEEEEESH
Haha seems like headache when you have to pass smog 🤣🤣
When Zac said chop and you showed Tim the tool man Taylor 😂
Perfect Fourth of July 🇺🇸 post! 😊
❤ THAT CHOP 😍
Link us to your smog guy too 🤣
Curious to know how many miles you can put on it before the bronze valve guides wear out. Stock rockers side load the valves bad causing premature wear.
Thanks for sharing Zac!
Question for you…do you lose CA emissions with the BFD cam installed? I’m itching to put a cam in my LS7, but worried about CA emissions.
I appreciate it, thanks!
If you’re worried about ca emissions then sell the LS7 lmao. Find a guy to smog it “legally” and don’t get state reffed or you gotta keep it stock or move out
Needa be talking to Mcfarland Racing for that subframe stuff
That’s just Nasty! 🫡🇺🇸😎
What was the wheel HP difference from previous set up to after the mods shown were done? Thanks, Dave
One headphone doesn't do justice but I still love the sound of the mighty chop
I see that out of state plate. Atta boy 🤣🤣
4th at 4 need to go out and put it on the chip happy 4th of July fellow hoonigans
“Should be pretty easy because LS’s are easy”
*2 days, 2 subframes later*
But the result was more than worth the work! Praise the chop lord.
Great content Zac
Great video!
Next show us how you smog it....
🤭🤫
Bro…🤣
Hahaha, did you actually use a clip from Rear Window?
This channel truly is the creme de la creme
It's America's Birthday, the most American Hoonigan, and big chop. Can it get more American that that?
What would you recommend for a 350 small block Chevy and you wanted to sound like hotforteachers intro
you know a little 1900 LSA blower is a good little blower for these right ;)
Zac is one the best at Hoonigan to watch but when he was talking about the #'s of the cam and lifters I spaced off like I was high school.
Bye bye 30+mpg... totally worth it! 🎉
The Godzilla needs a BFD cam since it’s pretty much an LS Big block
The godzilla is still a small block
@@j_wide583 The 348, 396, and 409 are big blocks.
Zack’s dash lookin like a disco. Bro work on those dash lights. Cash me owseye how bow dat
Looks much better on the Welds Racing Wheels.
massive shoutout to the shreditors for that zac tractor reference lmaooo
Hey mate what's the plastic ya use to protect the paint?
Gonna go go go
Nice zac she sounds sick
Us regular folks can’t get those headers and x-pipe here in California like hoonigan.
How much did all the parts needed cost? And how much will they gain on auto ls3 base with some intake too
"ah ah aahr! "
- Tim Toolman
Do you need any supporting mods or can you just install a cam and get it tuned?
How do y’all pass smog and emissions Im moving there next month and I’m trying to put long tubes and a fat cam in my c6
Chopped the hell outta that thing
So most times the middle flow numbers are more important where they spend most their time at in normal driving. A big high number doesn't mean always best if it don't do crap below that
What made you go with the GS over the Z06?
This car is so much better looking than the new Corvette.
Find me one episode where the editors don’t miss I’ll wait!
You should watch RPM performance to get tips on how to do that kind of stuff
I didn't even hear it roar.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What wheels are those? I really like them.
Nice!
I'm sad you guys never worked on the C4 after the coilovers
Imagine watching a video with 2 commercials to hear a car idol for 14 seconds. Wow that was painful
Surprised the front ends on these don’t come off Audi ‘service position’ style to make engine access/pulling easier.
Tim the toolman taylor cutaway seems obligatory for Zac in a chop video.
Zac mentioned a looooong time ago about Texas Speed doing R'n'D on a BFD turbo cam.... Did this ever happen??
You can move the condenser with lines connected jus gotta hold yer mouth right
I’ll watch a Gary ad anytime 🥳
worth dropping a LS into a C4 vette shell? I got one sitting around. but I dont know if it would be better on the long run if I get a cheap C5.
Truck based ls would make it affordable, but the question you need to ask is what's your end goal?
Zac should totally cop an srt10 ram
I wish one of y'all bought a viper to see some corvettes and vipers spanking this vs that especially a calvio motorsports viper with 2000 horsepower with a sequential gearbox 😈
cheers
Should have done a billy boat exhaust lol
Hey, Zac. I made that gasket (most likely), ya welcome!
Its not that surprising but I love how corvettes actually get half decent gas mileage if you drive them casually. One of the many reasons I want one.
I’ve done a couple of these and you can get the steering rack out in an hour. That’s the way to go next time 😂
