It’s so weird to hear that muscular V8 chop coming from something that looks so exotic and I love it! Nice job
Haha Thanks! I’m sure others will have that same feeling. I even mentioned that to one of my buddies before I did this. But my mind was already made up.
It's exactly what I'm here for! I couldn't stand that super car-ish sound they had coming from a vette. Mine will definitely have that chop!
Those are really impressive numbers for a LT2. Nice to see a n/a build vs the boosted norm that everybody always does
Thank Connor!
How do you know it’s impressive? Everytime these things are showed with modifications there are never any numbers to back up their claims. No draggy, no track times no anything. Just dynos that can be manipulated
@@mogulme6190Not true. There’s a C8 running low 10s at 130+ with FBO on E85. I think this setup, with a drag pack is capable of high 9 second ETs at 135mph
Just saw this video! Super happy to see you're loving it nick. Glad to see a channel dedicated to this car. This is our highest HP NA car yet that we did.
Just to add, it's not a 220 cam. it's custom spec'd by us and BTR for the DCT to perfect drivability. Come back to Texas when you're ready for flexfuel and let's track it some!
Thank you for the clarifying about the cam. You know I'll be back come Spring time.
Love to hear what this would sound like on a twin turbo. 🤯
"Perfect driveability" with 600whp, who could complain?
Oh my.... Now that's a C8 done right.
Thank you for the kind words.
really really awesome build man. i love the base model c8, and i love how it sticks true to what a corvette is, and has that classic NA cross plane crank v8. the heads/cam/manifold/TB build you have is such a tried and true formula on every generation of vette, so cool to see it in its modern form making so much power.
Glad you like it! Thanks for checking out the video of the build so far!
Best sounding vette I’ve ever heard. I finally found something I want to try and duplicate. Thanks for the inspiration!
Do it! You won’t be disappointed!
Woooow, Incredible. Fun to watch your updates
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching.
Your car looks stunning and sounds fantastic! I watched that clip of the reckless driver; something similar happened to me the other day. I was simply testing my C8’s exhaust and took a quick spin when suddenly, a guy in a Honda appeared out of nowhere, doing something similar. Anyway, your car mods are awesome!
Thanks for watching and for the compliment. Man I don’t know what was going on with that other car. I was worried he was gonna lose it and take me out on the curve.
Looks amazing, sounds incredible.
THATS THE NOISE THIS CAR SHOULD MAKE COñOO! HELL YEAH
Agreed!
cubans
Sounds amazing. What a weapon!
Oh yeah! I love how she’s chopping, sounds awesome bro!
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
holy crap that sounds amazing
Sounds legit. Definitely, first, c8, I've heard chopping!
Thanks. I think you’ll start seeing a lot more of them as spring and summer approaches.
Props to you for doing a n/a build. Your ride is sweet and sounds legit ! As a mustang s550 owner I’m impressed with your C8 and it’s probably my favorite C8 build at the moment. Good job.
I truly appreciate the compliment………from a former S550 owner.
Coolest and best sounding C8 I've seen
I really appreciate the compliment!
The chooooop 🤤. It has the face of a c8 and the soul of a c6 🔥
Annnnnd the C8 is back in the dream garage
Sounds insane!!!
Love to see the 60-130 see what it does vs Z06. Great vid thanks for sharing👍
I’m gonna do my best to make it happen!
Don’t hold your breath
Love the setup! Thank you
No problem!
I can’t stop watching this video and I own a c8 it’s a weird addiction, it’s something about the sound 😮😱🔥
I keep coming back to this video 😂🔥🔥
Awesome to hear that chop from a C8!!
Yes indeed!
That's the sound we want!! Haven't seen anybody do this with a ZO6 C8 yet though. Nice!
Ok I need this setup
Amazing work! The car sounds great, would love to see 0-60 times compared to a normal c8. If my 2024 transmission doesn't die, may need to do something like this.
Gonna try to get more data as the weather allows. May be a little bit due to winter.
Car looks and sounds so good. Set up looks good with wheels you have on there as well
👍
Sounds great, looks great 😎
Thanks!
@10:18 that little truck was definitely trying to race 😂
Definitely up to something
Sounds great.Boost District did an amazing job.
I think so too!
Great build man! Nice touch matching the valve covers. He's still working on mine, can't wait to hear and feel the cam rumble.
Thank you! You’re gonna love it! I’ll keep an eye out for you to post something.
@@eight16garage
Hoping only another 3 weeks for mine. I'm DONE adding power after this. Broke af and then some 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😂😭
@@WhiteHotHorsePower totally worth the wait. Wait til you go for the first ride. Sheesh!
@@eight16garage the stage 1 build was the big leap with the blower and supporting mods, but I'm excited about the top end with the cam.
@@eight16garage you're still NA, where did you feel the biggest difference? Guessing top end as well. These things suck after 80 OEM
The rapid blue on the c8 is killer, and with h/c package… that’s exactly how I would want mine… beautiful car brother!
I appreciate it!
Definitely picking up some Van Halen in that lope. Love it!
Yes!
Good lawdy… SOLD! Great vid boss… !!
Thanks 👍
Great video man. I have a hypersonic gray C8 HTC lowered on paragon springs with some aero and would love to start doing some performance mods like this soon! I love your car!
Go for it! Thanks for the compliment.
And now my interest in the C8 spikes, that thing sounds nasty choppin at idle and those crisp shifts 👌🏼
I think we’ll start seeing a lot more stuff now with the C8’s as people start tuning them. Hopefully companies can keep moving forward with development on other aspects of the car as well like transmission tuning.
@@eight16garage I’m hoping so, hopefully the DCT in both this and the GT500 get cracked soon
Best sounding c8
That idle is killer, sounds like Van Halen “Hot for teacher” !!!
Great job, I’ve yet to hear any other Stingray anywhere close. 👍😎
Good job man
Thank you for the compliment!
“Chop?…what the fuck you know about chop?”
This C8:
Damn she sounds good!
Thank you!
Randomly stumbled on this and I live in LS area haha. Hopefully I see you around town!
Looking forward to it! Look for me at cars and coffees once they start back up. Have a feeling there’s not gonna be much car stuff going on around here the next few months.
I love it, nice job! What’s the performance difference feel like?!
Thanks. Very noticeable difference in power. Gonna try to get to a track soon.
Thanks! I want to do almost the exact same thing as you have done to my 2022 C8. I need to know if you don’t mind that is, the type of Frankenstein Heads you used? As I looked them up but they don’t market anything on the website for an LT2-C8!
Corvette sounding liked this N/A? Omg very amazing C8!
Thank you!
Damn that thing sounds good
Thanks, a car with a cam is one of my favorite sounds.
@@eight16garage oh yeah, same with me. I have headers, I’m cat-less and I have the awe track exhaust. My neighbors hate me 😂 I’m still trying to figure out what route I want to go with my c8. Not sure if I want to cam mine or throw a pro-charger on there. Your car sounds incredible.
@@PreppyabababaNice! Sounds like you’ve got most of the supporting mods already. I’ve heard a couple procharged C8’s and they sound pretty wicked too.
Nice , love to see the price breakdown, I have C8 2023 70th Anniversary
Thanks, I’ll do a price breakdown soon. Those Anniversary cars are gorgeous.
nice lop , own the cam
That danger ranger really thought it did something! 😂😂😂
LOL! It was something alright!
Any details on how you handled the tuning for this? What process do you go through in order to make adjustments? Was there any live-time dyno tuning or was it a "loaded tune" to accommodate the mods?
Boost District handled everything in regard to the tuning when installing the heads and cam. The unlocking of the cars computer and the actual tuning of the car. I didn’t have to mess with any of it. When I make future changes on the car I will just take it back to them for updated tuning. If it were something simple I believe there is a way to do it remotely. I’d just prefer to have them do it all in person. Plus it gives me an excuse to go out of town for a bit.
Just caught this vid. Love your approach. I have been wanting to take a direction to more power. Can you share cost of heads/cams etc. last I checked, the cam packages were double digits. Putting it close to other power options.
I’m gonna do a price breakdown video soon.
Contacting the shop you promoted now via email. Thanks. In Oklahoma. I’d like to add e85 & nitrous.
sounds amazing! put some air in those tires
Thanks.
How do DCT transmissions get along with high performance/high lift cams?
So far it's been good. NO drivability issues whatsoever. So far I've put about 1,000 miles on the setup with no issues.
OouWee , that cam was talkin. very nice
What did it say?
@@Freddy_Confetti😂
Thanks
Finally an n/a build! I heard the carbon ptr intake really makes more power with higher rpm...so idk how feasible that is in this motor etc.
👍 I would agree that this intake helps up top. Hopefully as time goes on people keep pushing the C8 platform and we keep seeing more developments with these cars.
@@eight16garage me too! Good luck!
What kind of rims did you get bud? They look nice. And what sizes did you run?
These are Forgestar CF 10’s. 20x9 in front with a 255/30/20 PS4 tire and rear is a 21x12 with a 325/25/21 PS4 tire.
Solid roller cam right?
sounds amazing! any 60-130 numbers 1/4?
Not yet. Weather is not cooperating at the moment or in the near future.
Low 8 seconds probably.
Dude is wearing shorts and short sleeves….
Awesome build! I definitely want to do something like this. I currently have American racing headers, same cold air intake as you soler throttle body and a ported intake manifold (not the ptr one)
Random question, how does your screen look like it does with the revs? Is it a 2023? The info on the screen just looks different
Thanks man. Mine is a 23. I have the Track gauge cluster setup on there. Once the Track gauge cluster is the selected screen. Go to the right info tile through the steering wheel control, scroll over to options, then tachometer, change to numerical. I think that’s what you’re asking about.
@@eight16garage that’s it! Thanks man
@@nicolaskorvessis No Problem!
Also how has it been with the tire sizes you have now? 255 in the front and 325in the rear. Are there any extra modifications needed? Thinking of doing something similar next time I need new tires. I do have the paragon wheel spacers not sure if you think that’ll make a difference
These sizes are almost perfect fitment wise with the car lowered on the stock suspension in my opinion. No spacers were used on this car. The wheels sit pretty flush with the body. No other modifications needed with this wheel/tire setup.
Would love to see this vs a c6 z06 h/c/i.
I’ll see what I can arrange.
I want it
Very good numbers for a NA car , are you running e85 as well? What's the cost of that set up ? Compare to the ridiculous Boost prices for this cars so far. 600rwhp NA with the mid engine set up would probably run low 10s
No e85 on it as of this video. I planned to do e85 this spring but change of plans. It’s about 12k for heads/cam/tuning. Could be more depending on other parts you may want to add like CAI, intake manifold, cats, etc.
In the middle of doing a heads/cam build now myself. Had all other bolt ons already possible and hp tuners computer unlock with full e85 tune. Looking for 625 wheel if possible.
Love your cars sound and look. What rear duckbill trunk spoiler is that btw?
Nice! Should hit your mark with all your mods! Thanks for the compliment. I’ve got the paragon duckbill spoiler version 2 on the car. The version 2 will cover the factory Z51 spoiler holes.
If you’re using a dynocom you’ll probably hit 625. Dynocom is highly inflated . They average 530 on e85 on a dynojet . It’s nowhere near 600whp na.
@mikederosa8997 a full bolt on with heads and cam package on e85 is only at 530whp....no way. Im not on any dynocom btw but im over 530hp now on my current tune and bolt ons.
@@mikederosa8997that makes no sense lt1s have been high 500 whp for awhile I think I’ve seen a few low 600 whp cars. No way the lt2 makes less if done right
@@dc4l751 no you aren’t lol. Don’t cry when your dyno shows 480whp . Tuning is not there yet . Minimal adjustments on fuel and timing are the only things you can do on a c8.
Amazing car, what rear wing is that?
Thanks. Paragon’s version 2 duckbill
I’m looking at something identical, but unsure if BD or LMR. Mine is a daily so I am looking at a higher LSA and don’t want quite the chops for my personal car (SOUNDS MEAN THOUGH!!). How is the stop light to stop light? I cannot stand the car just shaking at the light or having vacuum pulled to where the car seems like it’s about to stall/idle surge. How is the car in those regards? How serious of a cam did you go with?
I don’t have experience with LMR but I don’t think you can go wrong with them. They have a very good reputation. BD was great to deal with. Very accommodating and their work has been flawless so far. They seem to be very involved with the C8 platform. I have only taken it out a couple times since having it back due to weather but will get more miles on it once the weather gets nice and all the pot holes around here are filled. With the cam it doesn’t shake to bad at idle. A little bit but not like an old school hot rod or anything. Im like you and did not want to experience the car sounding like it was going to stall while idling due to the cam and it does not. This cam is a custom grind for BD specifically but Id say it’s comparable to a 220 cam.
BD
what spoiler is that? Beautiful car!
Paragon ducktail version 2.
Thinking of doing Similar build on mine, but my tuner advised me not to due to inability to tune tcm??
I think it’ll be coming sooner than later.
nice, that cam would benefit from a few hundred more RPM,when it shifts to next gear it would fall into a better Hp curve.hopefully they will break that next.
I’m hoping so too.
Why it makes peak power at 5400
Mann!!! My bolt ons are just not enough ! Are those the fabspeed hi flow cats ?
I believe Roshan said they were Soul cats. He talked me into adding them while the car was down at BD.
Looking at boosting the hp of mine like this as well. Supercharge kits are insanely overpriced and this seems like a better middle ground.
How much did you spend roughly on all of this installed?
To replicate this exact engine/exhaust setup you're looking at roughly $18-19k. About $5500 of that is in the intake manifold and cat back alone. That's ball parking it off the top of my head with prices I paid. I plan on putting out a detailed video of cost breakdown to build this car very soon.
@@eight16garagedang really? I feel like for that much you could have just gotten an LT2 Procharger and gotten another 100 hp out of this build. I figured it would be far cheaper
That ranger made you look bad 😅
🤔 if you say so
Hey we did redline together! Awesome car
Nice! Plan on doing more Redline Rallys in 2024. How bout you?
@@eight16garage same!
@@CarMenuuhope to see you on the grid then.
Do you have the Z51 package or is this base?
This car is equipped with the Z51 package.
Why is the cylinder deactivation annoying?
Do you consider the Frankenstein are the best heads ? What’s the price?
I’d say they’re a pretty good choice. $2500 for the Frankenstein heads.
@@eight16garageWhat was the total cost of package with labor? Im trying to decide to do this for their 2650 kit which is 25-30k with headers, axels, Throttle body ect. My tuned by Tapout ATSV outs 501 hp & tq down @ wheels but traction is limited due to no weight over wheels. Im considering the heads & cam exactly like yours should be perfect. Quick enough for fun but not having to think about slowly rolling in the throttle due to tq hit.
@@boywonderrr71 I’m working on a cost breakdown video now. Should be out soon but to replicate this you’re probably gonna be in the ballpark of 12-13k.
Good on ya, but if my C8 sounded like that at idle or under throttle, I would want it in another body style/chassis.
I get what you’re sayin. Most people wouldn’t expect a car that looks like this to sound this way.
@@eight16garagei personally like that about the car. It has a stout engine from a manufacturer that has basically mastered its architecture over decades. The sound is what everyone screams MERICA is. But it has a dct and is a mid-engine sports coupe. It’s hard to get better than that. I wonder if people will be able to do this to the e-ray
@@mogulme6190 I like it too! I hope they can do the same with Eray. Can't even begin to imagine what that would feel like.
So what's your 0-60 now? Any impact?
Haven’t had much of a chance to test any of that out due to weather.
Have you had any transmission issues? My friends 2024 c8 stingray transmission went out at 470 miles. Found out it’s a common thing.
I’ve had 2 C8’s and not 1 transmission issue with either car.
@@eight16garage how many miles before you sold your first one?
@@N0neofyourbusiness.I think it was about 5k on the first one. This one has a little over 5k right now.
Should have come from the factory like this.
That’d be awesome if it did.
Link for that z06 style spoiler?
Here it is, but in person it looks nothing like the Z06 spoiler fyi.
www.paragonperf.com/Paragon-Performance-C8-Corvette-V2-Ducktail-Rear-Spoiler--Carbon-Flash_p_840.html
This is through a manual not an auto correct? Whats quarter mile times?
They don't make a C8 with a manual transmission.
Stock wheel HP is 440. How much did you spend to hit stock numbers? Where's the crazy road ranger blowing your doors off?
600whp NA is fuc#in beast!
how much did everything cost? with labor and the parts by boost district???
I’m gonna upload a detailed video about it soon but I can tell you I’m over 10 g’s.
@@eight16garage thank you man, can’t wait 2 see the vid!!!
How much was the cost on the Heads and Cams?
I’m gonna do a video soon breaking down the cost of my build. Reach out to Roshan at Boost District and he can get you a price for exactly what you’re looking to do.
Chops alrite. Nothin crazy
😎
l like your video
Wish you guys would show some 60-130 times or trap speeds. Really can’t get a sense of anything from this video.
how much did you spend on the build ?
Around 16-17k on the engine. Total on the whole car, not sure. I need to make a build video and cost breakdown for everything.
What’s the price I need one of my C8’s to be cammed before I sell one and buy my F430.
Check out Boost District's website. I'll do a price breakdown for my car soon.
How much total price for that?
Detailed price breakdown coming very soon.
60-130?
Is this sustainable on the engine
Oh yeah, pretty common modifications for the LT platform.
So who should I reach out to get this done to my c8 lol
Roshan @ Boost District is the man! Located just south of Dallas, TX.
If you could get your hands on a draggy it would be cool to compare 0-60 and 1320 times to a stock z06
I’m gonna try to get a draggy. There is a local guy that has a C8 Z06 that I’ve talked to about getting the cars together as well and doing some sort of head to head. Just gotta lineup our schedules and have some good weather.
@@eight16garage loving the build btw love na builds (less complexity)
AMP Performance has a stage 4 heads/cam C8, they have a video running from a dig against a C8Z and the Stingray walks away (more low end torque/pushrod) from a roll it’s pretty close, drivers race…. Nice build!! I’ve got a 23 as well,,, I’m debating on an n/a build verses TT 🤷♂️
@@gmoney2500 Oh really, I'll have to see if I can find it. I'd like to check it out. You can't go wrong either way depending on what you want out of the car.
Music to my ears bro
Sounds as serious as a heart attack. 👍
Lol, dang that’s serious! Thanks for checking it out!
What wheels are those?
Forgestar CF10’s
did you lose your warranty
I’m sure!
Putting the thing in drive and go just sounds like blasphemy in such a beautiful car. Man up, America.
Nah, I'd take the DCT anyday of the week.
