Street Production 303 clean ass build man, just Sub’d 👌
Thanks bro!! Your the man!
What's the weight difference between the Z and your car?
Great job sir
Thank you!
I don't know how many times I've watched this. I don't even have a Corvette. But this is inspiration I hope to have one soon.
Mad props for doing all the work yourself
Thank you 🙌
Sounds great and looks even better. Im very impressed for the fact that you have such skills to do all this work yourself.
Awesome man! Love the fact that you did all of the work yourself. Big 👍 to you!
Thank you!!! 🙌
New to the channel was looking into doing some more performance mods myself and this video helped out a lot keep up the good work!
Thank you! Check out my Instagram page for the latest. The car looks much different from when this video was done.
cool thx
Neat video man, your on your way to the top!💪
Just for the record the C7 is indeed a Supercar, it may not be an exotic but I would definitely call it a supercar.
👍🙌🔥
@wolfpacguy OP in the video car makes 720 whp. A stock z06 doesn't even make that much so what's your point? Just cuz a z06 has a factory wide body on it doesn't make it more of a supercar than a base C7.
100% agree with you. The rear wider quarter panels are only there to fit the wider tires.
Bro I love the fact you do the installs yourself. I've done the same with the mods to my C6 Corvette and saved a ton. Especially replacing parts that break. I've even been quoted $600 labor to replace the spark plugs and wires on my car but did it myself for free in about 2 hours as one example of savings. I too have a APR GT 500 wing on my Vette and love it. Eventually I hope to upgrade to a Stingray like yours and mod the heck out of it.
Thank you!! Dude mad props to you as well for stepping up and working on you own ride! I always find it funny when I meet ppl at car events. When I ask them a few simple questions, they have a hard time knowing facts about their own car. Many ppl just pay a shop to get a car upgraded and modified, but they literally have zero clue of how cars work and function. BTW..love ur ride and the GTC wings are insane and so badass.
@@StreetProduction303 Yea I think some people just like to throw money at cars and show it off but people like us actually truely like working on them, modifying them, racing them and driving them. I noticed you installed the supercharger yourself, I too was planning to do that when I get a Stingray. Was it pretty easy to do yourself? I usually just watch TH-cam videos and look up forums on how to do stuff to my car but I'm not sure there's any videos showing step by step a supercharger install. However if the supercharger comes with a install manual that would prob be good enough for me to handle.
Yeah I installed the SC myself. Ive never done anything like that before. Since your good with cars, your not going to have any issues. All kits come with installation manual that are very detailed with pictures. Plus, many kits also come with a help info phone number if you get stuck at some point. I did mine myself and it took about 15 hours total. I do recommend a friend to help out. It will make it much easier. Also.. remove the hood completely, it gives you much better access to work around the engine. Make sure to mask the front fenders and bumper to avoid any scratches on the car while working.
@@StreetProduction303 sweet, thanks for the advice and I think the model I plan to get might be easier then yours. I was going to get the Edelbrock SC but I'll have to research it some more to see. Its the only one I know of that I can legally use in California since it has a CARB sticker and number.
No problem bro! Anytime.. Good luck on any of ur future projects and hit me up if you ever run into problems on ur car.
Love the channel and the content. Keep it up 👍
Thank you! Im just getting started bro
Wow i love the look of that car
Just bought a 2016 8 speed automatic. You just earned yourself a new sub!
Thanks man!!! Congrats on your new ride!
Amazing video and amazing job on the car ♡
❤
Nice and very in detail
Awesome dude. Quite an accomplishment!
Thank you!
Nice mods! Great work! 🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Since this video. The car looks much different..check out my Instagram.
Very informative video, good luck with your channel!!
Thank you!
カッコいいですね❗️将来コルベット買うように頑張ります❗️
Good work
Awesome video man
Thanks bro!
Killer ride!!!
Good Job ! Impressive!
Thank you 👍
Good job bro I really like the mod you done to it
Thank you! I really appriciate it!
Rims look dope
Man, i can go to sleep to that exhaust note 💪🏽
Thanks bro!!! Im glad you like it.
Wish you did the install video for the supercharger!!! Would be the first one on TH-cam! I want to supercharge my c7 but the labor dumb expensive
I totally agree with you! I so wish I would have done a video on it, but at the time I did the SC install, I didnt have a TH-cam channel.
Awesome video! Really cool to see everything you have done to the car. Car looks amazing... It must be a really satisfying feeling to have done all the mods yourself! I give you mad respect for that! Oh, by the way, I love the color choice on the wheels... I've been contemplating going with a similar color with my 1le wheels... Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks Jason!! I think you should really consider that wheel color. I like the photo renderings. I say go for it!!!
Very sharp stingray brother 👏
Thanks bro!! 👍
That’s a good looking ride 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! It looks much different now, since this video was shot! Check out the latest on Instagram!
@@StreetProduction303 definitely. Will do🤝
beautiful car brotha!!!
Thanks man! 🤙
Nice and love the wing better look than zr1
Thank you!
The wing I wasn’t digging at first but then the more I looked at it the better it looked to me. Specially wen u said u got negative feed back of some people say it’s not an exotic car to them it may not be kind feel that . As I also own a c7 and I had a c5 cause it had so many miles and was trashed I fixed it and made nice I like that car so much I decided to do the c7 any way make short, maybe not to them it’s an exotic car but to me at least I’m proud to own it I work hard to get it .to me it’s an exotic car if is build in America even more reason for me to feel is exotic car of our country and the workmanship behind it and the lines I feel like if this the way u love this car and u did it ur self . That’s amazing. I will be fallowing ur build from now on. Good video . Sorry for bit texting, normally I’m not so caring over things!
Thank you!!!!
Nice
Bad ass man! as for the wheels not my cup of bourbon, but not my car.../ looks great
Thank you!!!
Nice looking corvette ⚡️ it would’ve been better with black wheels but everyone has it’s own taste
This car is goals!!!! Hope to have mine near as good as yours one day!
You did give me an idea on the headers, i was contemplating the texas speed, how are these holding up??
Thanks bro!! My headere are amazing and I love the way the whole exhaust sounds. Plus I wasnt going to spend over $1,000 on headers alone. I paid $900 with x pipe and headers..but now they are selling them for $600. Thats a steal.
FYI. For my headers I did have to make 2 dents in my headers to get clearance for 2 of the spark plug boots. It was easy. I heated it up with a torch and used a long socket with an extension to make it look OEM.
Lol I was thinking the same thing, what gain do you get for almost double the price for a whole kit in a different brand. I’ll appreciate feed back on the xpipe and headers, was surprised on price when I saw them. This year is the time for my mods. I am getting my z06 front diffuser , z06 spats, and z06 skirts all painted carbon flash by a friend of mine for free (paying for paint) so I’m excited. After that , I’m going to go ham on the build.
Thanks for the follow up! Just turned on your video notifications 🤙🏼
Thank you!!! And at the end of the day, its just a piece of pipe..plus Ive made more power with my setup than ppl who went all out and spend $2,000 with a giant name brand company on their exhaust. Its overkill! Keep me posted with some pictures of your car when its done..I wana see it. Hit me up on Instgram. All links are in the video description.
First time ever brass looked good on a car. Bomb ass build
Thank you 🔥🔥
Car look good man! ppl hating it bc they can't be like you.
Thank you so much!! I really appriciate the love 🤙
Bravo prince
Thanks bro!!
Is not an excited😁? Then what is it! Looks good. Don't listen to what other people have to say.
Lol I don’t pay attention trolls and hater. By the way! Thank you! The car looks much different from when this video was posted. Check out my Instagram.
That is an exotic car it's a muscle car. 🇺🇸🔥💪
Great video man! Great work doing it all yourself. I thought about modifying my C7 but I'm worried about reliability and I really like the look of the ZO6 so I might just trade it. How does your car put the power down. Any decent traction?
Thank you! Since I got the new tire setup, it’s been amazing. I haven’t made a video in a long time. If you want to see the latest pics of car, go to my Instagram page.
@@StreetProduction303 good stuff! I live in Southern California, granted it doesn't get that cold. However the stock tires were driving me crazy in the winter with the tire chatter and how long it would take to get warm so I went with the Michelin all season tires. They don't handle quite as well but dude they grip. It's actually really hard to break them loose unless you're trying.
I like that you kept the factory tail pipes, and the outside looks great. You do anything to the inside?
Thank you! This is a bit of an old video. The whole front end looks different now. I have the latest photos on my Instagram account. I did change the steering wheel with a custom setup.
Hell yeah! That’s badass. I have never tracked my car, I do take it into the Rocky Mountains and hit the road pretty hard.
Your the man. FYI...id take your car anyday over 90% of exotic car.
Thanks bro!
What size tires are you running?
Sick Vid :) Subbing now XD
Thank you!!!
Where in Colorado are you? I’m always trying to find other C7’s to hang with
Im up north in Broomfield and Thornton
Love the car, don't care much for the wing or gold wheels!
I’m wondering if you forged the pistons and rods since that’s the weak point of our LT1’s? Are you also on stock fuel injectors ?
All internals are stock and nothing has been modified. Im running on stock injectors. There is plenty of fuel being delivered by the stock fuel system in addition to the methanol injections system.
where did you order your eyelids from? i have searched everywhere @streetproduction303
Looks good. Wheel color and style look good as well. Pretty tired of seeing black wheels on everything.
Thank you very much! The front of the car looks much different now. Check out my Instagram if your interested.
About to be on my 3rd corvette, Rims are nice and not rice.
Thank you!
Dope💯💯💯
Thank you!!!!!
Perfect timing Emir with this upload since driving season is now upon us. Well, only for some, not yet up here in Northern NJ, aka The Rain Forest of Jersey. lol
First, if the exhaust is too loud, you're too old. lol Wise move on keeping the factory dual-mode setup though.
Second, never noticed your eye lid install. Excellent.
Third, so glad you didn't go with black wheels like everyone else.
Fourth, as to your wing, I know you said it's CF, but will the rear hatch stay open on it's own?
Fifth, in summary, love all your aesthetic mods, but I'd like to see you install the C7 ZO6 front grill.
Lastly, when can I send my C6 GS out to you for just a little "tweaking?" lol Hay, variety is the spice of life, you now need a C6 project. :-)
Save the Wave!
Lol thanks for all the great feedback! I really appreciate it. As far the wing and the hatch go, I did have to replace the stock shock struts for it to stay open with the new wing. It was easy and it only cost me like $20. I do agree with you tho for the front grill..I might go with something different and more unique and not the Z06 grill. I plan on doing that hopefully this summer and I also want to get a rear diffusers on the lower bumper. I think it will compliment the agressive rear wing.
@@StreetProduction303 Now you've peeked my curiosity on what "unique" type of grill you'll find. I've loved your wheels right from the very start and I just now was on the Verona web site. No wheels available for my Grand Sport. :-( I've come up with my own Gold Accent Design Package on my Crystal Red Metallic GS and your wheels would have been the icing on the cake.
Thanks man!! What!? No way, they do make these wheels for your car. Try this link.
www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xverona+xo.TRS0&_nkw=verona+xo+c6+corvette
I ordered mine off ebay, from the seller "Vibe Motorsports". It says they have them for C6 Corvettes. It says fits (2005-2013) Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 / Grand Sport. I ordered mine in gunmetal and had them painted.
Search Westcoast Corvettes, they have them too!
@@StreetProduction303 Thank you so much Emir. When I went to the Verona web site and clicked on "Configurator" nothing came up for me. Plus I was looking for your gold wheels in that I thought they came that way. I didn't realize that you had them painted. Now I have some hope. lol One last question before I contact Vibe Motorsports and/or Westcoast Corvettes, do your wheels accept the TPS 's or did you not bother with them. Thanks again.
P.S. to above. Did you paint your inner barrels or leave them in gunmetal? My current factory chrome wheels I did paint the inner barrels shiny gunmetal which I like, but I'm thinking I might do something different if I get your wheels.
I’m in the market for c7 love your mod but can’t do it myself any recommendations where can I get the installation done. ? I’m here in LA Cali
Thank you! Contact Andy at A&A Corvette. They are located in California.
Are you still around? Thinking about my 2014 Z51 3LT A6 Mag ride needs the A&A Stuff. Thoughts on reliability without touching the pistons, rings or rods??? Dennis
Yeah I still am, just not making YT videos.. but Im active on Instagram. I think you will be fine. As long as your fuel setup is on point and your tune is safe and it isnt pushed to the limits.
@@StreetProduction303 Have you considered In Wheel Hub motors to make a AWD C7 Hybrid like to E Ray? I read about some in Europe and would love to do that mod. I really like my C7. Take care, Dennis
nice work I wish I was your friend to let you work on my car/
Thanks bro!!! 🤙
Looking real nice m8. I’m not a fan of the colour of the wheels (that’s just my own taste) but to be honest, I bet they look sick in real life and the video does not do them justice. 👍🏻
I completely understand, everyone has a differnet tast, plus your right! They do look much better in person. Thanks for checking out the video🤙
what wheels are those ? there bad ass ! and sizes your running ?
Its all in the video lol. They are called the VERONA XO
Props on the Bronze wheels bro! I’ve been saying for years, IMHO, black wheels are played now!
Everybody and their momma got black wheels, imho, that shit is tired now!
I come from the school of the days of the Countach and the Diablo, and back in the day, seeing a red, black, or white Countach with bronze or brushed magnesium wheels was the shit!
When people first started getting into black and dark wheels it was cool, because you didn’t see it too much... but now that shit everywhere!
I was never a fan of black wheels, but to each his own...
Nevertheless, the bronze wheels look good bro imo.
Thank you so much!! Everything you said, I totally have the same mind set as you! Thanks for checking out my video.
Great vid 🔥 , How much does a tune usually cost ?
Dyno tunes are minimum of around $500 and go upwards depending on how extensive it is. Shops charge per hour. $200 to $250 per hour is about average.
@@StreetProduction303 Thanks for replying, I just got me a 2016 c7 stingray last month and wanted to just get the headers , cold air intake and tune done
Congratulations!
I just ordered my A&A kit for my C7. Id love to know what size pulley you used? I went with the 3.8".
Thanks!!
Honestly, I cant really remember anymore..its been so long. I remember that I did call Andy at A&A and got the smallest possible pulley based on what what this SC could handle.
Give him a call today and see if the 3.8 is the smallest pullley or is there another pulley smaller.
@Street Production 303 4.0 is standard. 3.8 is recommended if you have full exhaust. The freer exhaust drops psi so you can pulley down and still only make 7-8 psi. You are probably on a 3.6" or smaller. I'm not going to have meth. I'm shooting for a reliable 550-600 rwhp on my auto trans. An M7 shows better numbers.
@Street Production 303 I supercharged a C5. It was a harder job. I had to add a boost-a-pump and injectors. The steering rack was harder to get out. I drilled the oil pan for an oil return. I also had to remove the computer and mail it to have a base tune installed so I could start the car and drive to have it tuned.
The C7 will be an easier kit but I'm having it done professionally by a reputable shop. Labor is $1,800 for the kit and header & x pipe install. Their lift will make it much easier.
I'll just drop it off and pick it up, this time.
What’s your wheel specs, offsets and tire sizes?
This has been covered multiple times in other comments on many of my other videos.
Insane value for money though.
It really is!
Do a driving, video with the whip!
Here it is:
th-cam.com/video/szfDUJiNMhk/w-d-xo.html
Pretty clean, but how you got no subs, go get some 12s with a nice ported box, easier to install than a blower
Thank you! The C7 already comes with a Bose sound system build into the car, with a 3 subwoofers and a total of 9 speakers I believe. So it’s really not needed!
The head lights there from a 458 Ferrari ? Or they sell this already with the shape for c7 corvette ? Just like taillight like aventador Lamborghini they sell it already I bought for my c7
Its a abs plastic headlight cover that goes over the factory headlight. It comes painted to match the color of the car.
At 2:45 you said " I can make the switch and make the car really quiet" where is that switch located ? (new to cars )
It's the factory NPP exhaust setup. The exhaust valves open or close, depending on the selected driving mode. I can also control the exhaust thru the touch screen infotainment system.
@@StreetProduction303 so which mode is for closing the valve ? tour mode ? and to open is track ? sorry im just really curious because i am thinking of getting a c7 myself
@@StreetProduction303 and also for your 3 inch catless mid x pipe , can you link me to where to buy please
The Tour and E mode shut off the valves only.
Dude is there a color code for those wheels? Color is so sick
Thank you! Yes, every color has a color code. I custom picked the color at a paint shop. Out of about 20 different styles and shade of copper / brass / gold, I chose this one. I went thru 3 different colors shades and colors to get this one. It seemed to go really good with my car color.
@@StreetProduction303 were they powder coated or how did you paint them?
I had them painted at a paint shop and than baked.
Here is the link to the video:
th-cam.com/video/tGyadZwI-Pw/w-d-xo.html
just be careful as Rods and Pistons are not forged on the LT-1.
Thank! I live in Colorado at 5280 feet in elevation..so the 712whp is a corrected SAE sea level HP number. At my elevation, Im closer to around 650whp or so. Thats why I can get away with it.
@@StreetProduction303 so wait its not recommended to do this to a Ray if your at a flat level like Florida? I would like to do this but scared to mess it up. You got the best Ray in youtube tbh
Thank you! This video was shot last year. Visit my Instagram page and you will see the latest photos. The car looks much different now. As far as the modifications go..YES! You can still mod it the same way as I did, even at sea level. It's all in the tune. The only difference is that my tune has to be much more aggressive up here at this elevation. Many are running the same HP and more at sea level with a similar setup. So I could easily take my car to Florida, but for me to be safe I would have to re-tune it to that atmospheric pressure.
@@StreetProduction303 What are your future plans with the vette? also opinion on lt4 conversion kits?
Nothing much honestly! Most of it is already all done. I did a new steering wheel, ZR1 quarter panel vents, and new racing tires this summer. Future plans probably a rear diffuser and a different front bumper. But for right now, I am more focusing on growing my business. That's why I haven't made many videos on YT. I have plans to get a supercar in the future and keep the C7.
Do all of this mods void the manufacturer's warranty???
Many of them do. My factory warranty has expired long ago. So it doesnt even matter to me.
@@StreetProduction303 I purchased mine early this year new with extended 3 year warranty so 7 years total. I guess I'm screwed
If you leave the engine alone you will be fine. Just to exterior mods for now.
The wing will kill your speed in the 1/2 mile I bet
Im sure it does, but i can always take it off 😁 takes like 2 minutes. For everyday street driving and in the mountains it helps with cornering.
Holy shit what are the odds of me being in Colorado and finna get a vett and make the same hp😂😂
Go for it!!!! 💪
Damn bro you have a LOT OF MONEY. It’s great you didn’t keep that thing stock though. I don’t get the concept of people keeping their cars stock. And I always tell them like hey, if I modded a Passat, you can mod your car too so stop being lazy 😂
Lol I wish I had all that money. It took me over 3 years to do all those mods. I saved up and spread it all throughout 3 years a little at a time, so it wasnt all at ones.
Street Production 303 man those 3 years flew by
Do you beat hellcats?
Yes! Easily even when their are modified.
@@StreetProduction303 Wow
Thank you! Check out my Instagram to see the latest photos. It looks very different now. Since this video is over a year old.
@@StreetProduction303 Ok I will
I think u will like the new look. Search instagram under street production 303
Who did your tune? if no tune, you need one.
Couldve unlocked a lot more power with a cam to go with your procharger.
Also, how much power do you think you can run on stock internals?
I did have it tuned professionally by AIR. No way is it possible to do all this work without a tune and make the car work as intended. As far as the cam goes, I am not a fan of it and I dont like how it makes modern cars sound very old school. Its been reported the hp limits on the LT1 are anywhere between 750whp-800whp. I wanted a more reliable setup for longevity and street use, so I didnt push past 712whp.
Street Production 303 percent Exactly. Plus Cam’s are 15% more likely to make your car less reliable, pending on the specs of course. And true the LT1 is great platform engine, but can only take so much. Yours makes good power, is able to sustain that power, and all the while be a reliable car 👌
Yup! Your 100% right. My goal was to have a fast car, but the most important part was making it reliable. I didnt want my car breaking down every year or two. At cruise speed it feels almost completely stock. Follow me on Instagram to see the latest shots and photos of my Vette. The front looks totally different now.
Why couldn’t you just buy bigger injectors and pump?
To do a new low and high pressure fuel pump, the whole read end needs to be dropped (transaxle and rear suspension) to get access to the fuel tank. Plus, at the time, the car was so new that aftermarket fuel pumps and injectors were not available at first.
Lmao no one is gonna consider that a sleeper no matter how quite it is on chill
Mode
Why do all this to a base model?
Not a base model. 3LT Z51Track package. MSRP on this was $84,000. I have all the performance features the Z06 and ZR1 have, with even more power. Missing are the the Carbon Ceramic brakes and the wider rear quarter panels.
Riced out? Cuz of a color? ...lol what
Yeah lol! Its just haters and they have nothing better to do.
Street Production 303 right lol that’s makes no sense to me. My stingray has black rims but I wanna do a color too. Good shit on the mods. I managed to get 588 whp with an afe intake, borla x pipe and muffler delete. No tune.
Hell yeah bro!! Even stock the C7 is fast AF. Throughout the years, I've just learned to ignore the haters lol.
@@DestinyandLegacy You gained like 190 whp from an intake and exhaust, no tune? On an otherwise stock stingray? Did you mean to type 388 whp
In what world do you dyno a car without tuning it? Fwke bullshit. You don't pull 712 whp on stock injectors.
