Keep in mind - as mentioned in the video, alot of trial and error went into this build over time. Some costs could have been avoided and other costs were saved as well!
So that puts you roughly around the price of a ZL1 but with more power. I'm not knocking the ZL1, it's a performance monster in and of itself. But I tell people, buy an SS and have it built it up. The ZL1 is for people who want high levels of performance and still want the factory warranties and dont have any patience for downtime during the building phases. But yeah the Beast is nasty bro. I like where you have it. Enough performance to eat just about anything on the roads, yet subtle enough to be a daily driver.
Thanks bro and yes everything you said is facts
@@MotorFire Hope you're liking the new house. At least you have a yard now also.
WoW ! My hats off to you man !
I didn't realize you spent so much on mods.
BadAzz Beast !
Thank you sir!
You scored with the Procharger ✊Next spring I’m going to get mine some engine work 👍🏽
Nice!!
😂😂❤ see l inn n
Awesome content thanks brother.
Thanks bro
Beautiful car bro. Love it
I need a Camaro SS in my life. prochargers are expensive you got a good deal
Yes sir 100%
Love that camaro bro! Keep it up.
Where did you get that heat shield for under the hood? I'm looking for a good one
Got it from Anderson composites
Your in balls deep ! My new vette broken valve @61 miles just bad luck miss my ZL1 !
Ouch 😩
😳... whelp I’ll keep living through your videos 😂😂😂
😆😆
house is coming along, looks good.
Thanks man
Great video 😁
🙏
Great vid Gil. Speed costs money. How fast you wanna go? LOL.......just a tip, you need to keep that Meth stored somewhere that is vented, not in a closet. Vapors easily build up in there and all it takes is a little static..........
I'm gonna move it soon
People think that it's only like $10 to build a car and we are all just here like... no
Yeh lol. TH-camrs try to make it seem like its the easiest thing in the world. Thats a negative. It all costs big money.
Astroxx very
No one thinks that lmao
I have a supercharged C7. ECS Blower, catless ARH, LT4 injectors/hpfp. That setup came to 13 K with labor through Vengeance Racing. It would've been another 13 K to do forged pistons/rods, cam, flex fuel.
Super clean 😚
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 motivation.
🙏🙏
Congrats Gil! You were able to materialize your vision and not a lot of people can say that. I followed your ups and downs and am happy for you brother. Can't wait to see her spanking those that dare 😂😂😂 God bless
Thank you so much!
Well written! Be safe, God Bless. And more videos running and your settings. RPM launch, differential slip percentage
I have a build plan in my head on what I wanna do but I noticed you said you have stock heads and with 800whp it works fine? If I dont need to get them porting or anything I wont but Ive seen a lot of people saying 700whp+ it gets risky
That joint nice
Thank you!
There are three thing to a build. They are cheap cost, reliable, and power. You can pretty much only ever get two of them. If it’s reliable and powerful then it’s not cheap. If it’s cheap and powerful then it’s not reliable. If it’s cheap and reliable then it’s not gonna be very powerful.
Yes you can always do second hand parts to drive the price down but you pick up other issues. Was it treated well, is it warn out, are all the parts there. All of which still follow basically the same rules when buying.
Agreed on everything you said.
Motor Fire wish I could say I thought of it but I saw it somewhere don’t remember where but it’s stuck with me for a while.
Ayt Imma head out, I got a 2010. Might just go turbo instead XD
I would love to see you race Donkmaster
Never know!
I see a hood like that on an SS, i aint even trying!
Lol good call
How did you get the flow tie on the aftermarket front bumper ?
Love your channel
Where did u get that hood from??!!!
Thank you! I got it from anderson composites.
Made out of leftover bits of the old living room floor.
Engine, boost, trans, suspension, brakes, exhaust, is an easy 30k before paint & body
Pay to play!
Does the carbon fiber overlay kit on the passenger side dash have the same type of feel/build as the one on the center of your steering wheel, or is it more like your shifter bezel? I have the same steering wheel piece and while I like it it's more of a flexible sticker with a real cf layer inside and a thick gel top coating than other real cf pieces I have. Just debating whether to spend way more on the GM full piece, even though I think the multiple pieces of your kit gives it more character. Also, how's the fitment on the cf shifter cap?
I would spend more on the GM full piece
@@MotorFire thanks bud. Awesome to see the evolution of your build, truly a beast now. Been following since you put on your first set of sequential tails. Btw I daily my whipple/methanol '16 and use a $10 battery powered transfer pump from harbor freight to fill it.
@@Dagasm that's awesome! I do appreciate the support. 🙏🙏 you sound like you have a sick daily!
2016-2018 ZL1 Bolt ons makes the same. good build tho brotha
So headers, intake, exhaust and e85 makes the same on a zl1?
Fucking BS. That's more like 650-700 whp at best. Stop lying
Where were you able to find a used pro charger kit ?
People dont realize how much it cost to run fast times. even with my pretty simple set up of heads cam and nitrous i still have spent around 10-12k on my set up, but it still runs well into the 9s at the track very consistently!
Definitely costs alot of money
People don’t realize the amount of work that goes into installing a new hardwood floor….
I spent 45k to have my 12 SS put down 900rwhp. It's freakin expensive to drive fast! Lol
We do this because we enjoy it I get comments all the time ( your not going to get your money back it’s going to be hard to sell) I do it because it feels good
Yup, plus I have no plans to ever sell the car. So I had a vision, reached it and enjoyed my way there.
Can a Camaro ss handle a pro charger without going in the motor?
What did you have to do for fueling? Does the methanol alone give enough fuel for 800+ hp? Did you have to upgrade the high and low side pumps? Fuel injectors?
He has port injection. All the direct injection stuff is off. It’s basically just like an Ls now
Let's race at a Race Motive event next year @ Pocono!
I'm too slow for all that
@@MotorFire LoL I'm sure it would be closer than you think
I don’t understand the fuel rails if the LT1 engine is direct port injection. The fuel injectors are in the heads
$20k is actually damn cheap for what you built. If you add EVERY cent, I wouldn't be surprised if this car has close to $40k in it. These cars get expensive quick when you start modding. I added every cent and I'm in $20k so far and only FBO, but that includes 2 sets of wheels, all aftermarket arms and bushings in front and rear suspension, and all the small things like tints and license plate frames. A hundred bucks here, five hundred there, shit adds up quick.
It definitely adds up quickly
What was the system you added to your rear brakes for better burnouts?
Line lock
He simply wrapped his brakes with the leftover carpet from his livingroom.
I have a 2011 rs , it has a lot of cosmetic upgrades, but want to make it faster since it’s a v6 , what would be a good way to go about it?
Its gonna take alot of money for very little return to try to make the v6 faster. Just being honest. Your better off sticking to cosmetic but cold air intake exhaust e85 and tune is a good place to start
Trade it for an ss.
Is the cam btr stage 2?
What fueling mods do you have besides meth and the aux pump? I don’t think I heard you say anything else?
So your still on the stock fuel system? Besides the aux pump and methanol
Stock lt4. Not lt1
Great title and I’m assuming it’s expensive lol
Unfortunately very expensive xD
Motor Fire Yuup !!
But thats part of the game I guess lol
Circle D converters are 1200-1300 for the A8 trans. I guess you bought it used and got a complete steal for. The z$5-600 u mentioned u spent
No. As mentioned in the video, I have influence over pricing others may not have. I was very transparent. Pricing was based on what I personally paid, not what others might pay. I bought mine new, from my shop. A customer ordered the converter from them and then changed his mind and they got stuck with the converter. Long story short I picked it up for half. Yes it was a steal.
Motor Fire sweet deal you got for sure man. But how do you personally have influence over pricing? Sounds like your shop just cut you a deal so they didn’t get stuck with a high dollar converter
@@Colt_10R80 thanks to the channel I've been able to negotiate with some manufacturers and my shop as well. The converter is not the only thing I was lucky enough to get a deal on. And your right they didn't want to get stuck with it but that still doesn't mean i didn't score lucky there.
Motor Fire no I agree 100% you scored, hell of a deal. Man that’s crazy manufacturers are discounting products to even small channels like yours, more power to you brother. Sweet build on the performance side. Wish u the best going forward sir
So my question if you can do this all over would you have started with the ss or jump to a zl1 and started this journey.
I would 100% bought the ss still. A brand new zl1 vs a brand new ss is about a 25k difference and for that I got 250 to 300 more horsepower over stock. So yes id stick with the ss.
@@MotorFire ... you stated that you spent $26K in parts but what about all the labor..???
@@browncarfan thats a negative sir. I spent 26k in total with labor. When I started mentioning big bills ( like my engine rebuild for example) that was with labor included. Alot of major things were installed all at once. Plus i get a break on labor cost due to my channel.
If I could do it all over again, before I did any external upgrades, I’d start by finishing the hardwood floors IN THE LIVING ROOM
Pros and cons of that hood
Shen dod you get the Holly and the hood
Bro how do you pass emissions everything like that!!?
Magic 😆😆
What are the wheels specs? And what brand are they?
😎🤑💯💪🏿
😁😂😆
Cheaper to sand them down and restain
Thats exactly what I did lol
E85
Damn you put meth in your car bro.
Shes addicted
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣
👀
Stop saying METH
METHanol there ya go 😆
……………….meth
Yet another boosted Camaro that's automatic. Glad I'm getting the manual as the car is intended to have lmao
Blah blah blah all talk no action.
Nah, not worth it.
New for new Im at the same price as a zl1 with 300 more crank horsepower and suspension. Aside from the factory warranty you get with the zl1, why isn't it worth it? Just curious. Thanks for commenting.
@@MotorFire its not worth the headache you had to go thur, plus don't you need to keep meth in now at all times
@@hpickettz34 headache? It was fun for me. The ups and the downs. Learning everything I did. It was great and it was stressful. Yes I have to keep meth in my car but I go through 2 gallons of meth in like a month lol I barely use any. 70$ lasts me 3 months
@@MotorFire And you daily this car?, why don't you have a beater for groceries and other stuff.
@@hpickettz34 because I dont want to drive a boring car. I like my car. I do minimal driving per day so I can drive it everyday and not put a ton of miles on it quickly.
