I remember back in my teens listening to mainly greeks and italians talk a lot of shit about performance cars. Having worked for two major automotive manufacturers, and being a machinist as well as having many other qualifications. I always stand by my words. Any build is a matter of knowledge and not listening to bullshit. 😂😂😂😂
is that a panerai pam 00171 i see on frans wrist? if so, very nice choice of time piece. That's one of my dream watches i'm going to get. Great taste in time pieces
you guys always use the wideband in the tailpipe? Do you find it fairly accurate vs it on say the rear cat or its own bunk if customer has the wideband.
The angry is on steroids. Seriously though Matt does need to purchase his own impact or just ratchet it off. Eric needs to calm down if he don’t want anyone using his tools don’t lend them out
Ok quick question since i know yall are awesome at what yall do. I have a 2006 chevy silverado 1500 crew cab. If i was to install cam headers exhaust gears intake and a good tune how much of a gain in HP could i see.
I worked at a garage for many years I use to hate people using my tools not because they used them but because they never returned them and when I left that shop half my shit was gone
We have all seen the videos of the hack jobs you all have to fix from other shops. Have you guys ever had any type of engine failures at the shop? Like, trying to tune or baseline a vehicle that wasn't built there?
How do you guys feel about LSA engines? I’m hearing a lot about spun main bearings lately, mostly on the ctsv side but some on the zl1 side too. What seems to be the contributing factors?
You aren't a tuner if you've never had a car/ engine blow up. Lots of guys won't admit it but it happens. Sometimes parts fail, sometimes it's a bad tune, sometimes it's the knucklehead building the motor.
It's a C6 and we didn't say it was lean we said we had to watch it as it was going lean it was at 13 and going higher, we didn't know where it was going to go so we watched it, but yes 12.5 is fine.
Cheap, Fast, Reliable explanation T-Shirts would be cool. Front ---- Cheap, Reliable and Fast... YOU CAN ONLY PICK 2 OF THEM!!! Back --- Cheap + Fast =/= Reliable Cheap + Reliable =/= Fast Fast + Reliable =/= Cheap RPM logo
Of course u can but like he says isn't going to be cheap by any means....these built cars ur lucky get 5 years outta them if you drive it a lot there a hobby and an expensive one
Someone need to get fran some glasses. He is squinting at the computer. Not trying to poke fun at ya man. I wear glasses myself. You stare at a computer long enough and it will give you headaches. Get some glasses brother!
Yes we know small spelling error lol it’s Crank*
I think that car has a bad habit - crack, meth and nitrous, - time for an intervention.
Hey Steve, ask all the guys how they like the new shop now that it's all put together. What do they prefer about the new location!
The truth is you better be prepared to spend more money than you originally thought, lol
Glad to see Angry Eric back at the shop!
You got to love hearing a LS7 hitting those high rpm numbers. Those things are screamers. Pontiac G8's look so good.
So many bad ass cars, always the case, great video! That tow truck was bad ass as well!
Love that truck. First time I ever saw that setup
keep up the great videos , i love and appreciate seeing these and the inner workings of rpm
Looks like the shop is runnig full tilt. Some bad ass cars.
My day is made,waiting all day for this
The wheels on the red vette, that was on the dyno, looked like they were wobbling.
I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was just my eyes. Maybe it was the camera 🤔🤔
That's cause it's fast and cheap.

Love this Channel Fran is a LS tuning god i would send my V there if i ever fall into a bag of cash
Seeing the 6th Gen Camaro’s I help build getting crazy upgrades 👍🏼
Looking forward to the Z/28 build.
I may pick one of those up soon. Would love to do heads/cam/intake/ throttle body and exhaust.
is that a panerai pam 00171 i see on frans wrist? if so, very nice choice of time piece. That's one of my dream watches i'm going to get. Great taste in time pieces
The black z28 looks awesome! And, the red z06 sounds mean as! Someday! Lol
you guys always use the wideband in the tailpipe? Do you find it fairly accurate vs it on say the rear cat or its own bunk if customer has the wideband.
Fran needs glasses so he can see the screen without squinting......
Maybe one of those new Samsung 146" 4k TV's?
That belt on that red gxp be flapping in the wind hard
That gto has been tuned by like 6 shops in the past year good luck Fran😂
Boosted GTO what gto?
The orange one in the background. It's a buddies car
So have you bro. Iv seent it. Where doing new injectors this time.
What? My car has had the same tuner for 3 years. Only retuned to get fasta and fasta!!! lol
Angry Eric is BACK!!!!!
The angry is on steroids. Seriously though Matt does need to purchase his own impact or just ratchet it off. Eric needs to calm down if he don’t want anyone using his tools don’t lend them out
Goddamn that z/28 is bad fuckin ass...wow...my dream car

John Mabe. A 5.3 makes 220 at the wheels back then. You could get another hundred. Don't seem a lot but it's freakin 50% LOL.
Lol, love the tool fighting ... reminds me of some I’ve had lol
"I'm killing it one crank pulley at a time" .... 🤣😂😂
While dyno tuning is Fran using his cell phone Calculator ? Always has his phone while tuning
Angry Eric is baaaaack!
I love it my boys rpm keep up and love video and I love Camaro zl1 and c7
I worked at a garage for many years I use to hate people using my tools not because they used them but because they never returned them and when I left that shop half my shit was gone
I would love to work here!
I work with a guy who's slogan for tools is, "If I can't borrow it, I don't need it!"

fbanda20 there are millions of threads on the lsa it’s been around lol
So they are just like ls2's? 😂
What would be a good package combo for a 2006 tbss?
Cesar & Nathalie procharger. Nos e85 meth
The Z28 has valve dropping issues as well? Cant quite hear what you said.
It's an LS7 so yes.
Got it, I wasn’t sure if they actually did something to resolve the issue on newer engines,
Best Rule ever, if you have to borrow it twice you should just buy it.
Straight facts !!!
As i walked in the door ahhh perfect
That g8 is stupid loud like when I had my Camaro in. I remember Fran saying it was a little too loud lol!
WHOA WHOA WHOA...you said at the beginning of the vid you have the GTO, but then later we see it backing out of the shop. Next video?
Said 5 cars came in this week. Didn't say they were all in this episode.
Last time I was this early I had to buy plan b
At Walgreens
Cvs
Is it me or is the rear wheel wobbling on the red Corvette on the dyno
It had a bubble on sidewall.
Only car.. doesnt the zl1 have them as a package and base price 68k?? So not the only car?
No the ZL1 does not have them as an option. And we stated it was the only car under $100k with carbon ceramics at the time of its release in 2014-2015
So rpm stage 3 z06 reliable or not?
Very, ask any of our customers. We’ve had customers with 50,000+ miles our stage 3
Thought you guys were no longer working on GTO,G8'S,or TBSS ? Ls motors..
05 and newer, all of those are 05 and newer.
@@RaceProvenMotorsports Thank you for the clarity. Keep up the great work.
Why does the z28 make si much less than a stock c6z?
B GerK less? They average 450-470rwhp stock.
Numbers are right on par for what we see a C6 Z06 do with similar mods.
Ur right im trippin. Lack of sleep lol
Do you guys ever work on trucks?
Yes
“Squints” from Sandlot 😂. Get some glasses Fran!!
Don't touch my fuckin drum set!
Thanks for the GTO.
Nevermind
Gotta love those Callies crack and rods
John deAlminana the best
Crank and Crack are the same thing don't stress it guys haha
Ive always wondered if fran has ever blown up a car tuning it
You aren't a tuner if you've never had a car/ engine blow up. Lots of guys won't admit it but it happens. Sometimes parts fail, sometimes it's a bad tune, sometimes it's the knucklehead building the motor.
NA C5 lean at 12.5? Seems on par to me. 13 is probably at the top but still ok, specially for only 400whp..
It's a C6 and we didn't say it was lean we said we had to watch it as it was going lean it was at 13 and going higher, we didn't know where it was going to go so we watched it, but yes 12.5 is fine.
@@RaceProvenMotorsports ah my mistake 👍 for some reason this video was harder to hear you guys talking(lots of background noise maybe?)
Nice!!

He could hit a bird and blow his engine up.. they gonna say he can't tune🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ 3:37 "Callies Crack & Rods"
Lol.
Matt & Angy Eric ... Lovers' Quarrel?
And what's this about Callies doing "crack & rods"? What's that about?
4:41 I didn't realize how popular eagle eye taillights until I bought a c6 haha
Some Cali crack on that red z
G Ate Love!
Love me black gxp but I may be bias 😂
omg the nickelback joke. Come for the american car perforamnce, stay for the comedic relief
Typical Oracle side markers on the red z lol. Not sure I know anyone with a full working set
Fast =Money pit
I be looking like a pikachu meme when my shit blows up again
More trans tuning please
Funny how in 15 the z28 has the same valve issue
Fran needs to get a larger display for the dyno or he needs to get some glasses. He sure is doing a lot of squinting lately.
Confused as to why your tuner is using a sniffer. Big baller shop should be using a wide band..
How much dyno/tuning experience do you have?
cheap fast and reliable is my honda civic at 400whp at 10ps on 91 octain honestly i could run it at around 470 all day around a track for days. b18
Fast is 1000 whp+
12:25 hilarious
Well price does not always mean reliable because its a business at the end of the day
You can make 1500 hp and be reliable. 2 words nelson racing
Of course u can but like he says isn't going to be cheap by any means....these built cars ur lucky get 5 years outta them if you drive it a lot there a hobby and an expensive one
Fast. Cheap. Reliable. You can only have two of those. Pick the two for you
Someone need to get fran some glasses. He is squinting at the computer. Not trying to poke fun at ya man. I wear glasses myself. You stare at a computer long enough and it will give you headaches. Get some glasses brother!
I’m trying to see the air fuel ratio which is an 1/8 of an inch big on a screen 10 feet away haha.
@@RaceProvenMotorsports so bifocals? Lol
You guys need to start putting some money behind your bets. Like $20 bucks a bet. Just to make things interesting.
Anyone else notice the wobble in the wheel or axle of that red c6 on the dyno? Yikes.
burb17 most likely a bent wheel, not abnormal or dangerous. That’s what wheel balancing machines are for.
Callies Crack & Rods lol
Lol Crank* 😂😂
I mean technically Crank and Crack are the same 😂😂😂😂
You guys are great keep up the good work.
Why am I watching a window convo of 2 guys discussing.....well, nothing
Somebody get Eric some Midol.
11:12 copy right strike bahahaha
I feel Erics pain when it comes to people always borrowing and never buying tools for themselves. Shit is irritating.
Here’s a corny joke for yeah. Wanna hear a joke about pizza.....never mind it’s too cheesy!
You guys don’t have a really spring tool? Wow 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Huh?
...my wife worked at a place were the moto was...
...CHEAP...FAST... AND HALF ASSED...
fuck me this is funny and relatable
It’s not she its MA’AM!!
Cheap and reliable. FbO c6 z06
PureSwank then you drop a valve & it ain’t cheap no mo
...it’s expensive and time consuming. That’s all you need to know
It's expensive.
Callies Crack?
Eric needs to go ahead and go bald..... geez...
Lean is Mean
Just kiss and makeup already
gosh it gets boring seeing the same type of cars over and over again, its like watching a GM DEALERSHIP VIDEO
