*infomercial voice* You too can be a tuner just like Fran! Fran's tuning ability comes from his crisp white t-shirt You can be just as good, if not better than Fran when you buy your very own RPM white shirts!! Disclaimer: Fran is an expert and it has nothing to do with the colour of his shirt. We are not held responsible for you throwing a rod through your block. If you were stupid enough to believe this that's your own fault.
Maybe offer designs in a pre order for customers who want white. Let them know that you need to hit so many white shirts in order to order them. That would be a good option for future shirts possibly.
Hey that silver Corvette has a sticker on the rear driver side of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar. Not that it matters but found it interesting since I saw it everywhere while deployed there on every car.
As a GTO owner that does my own work in my garage I can't deny there are times I want to just grab the Sawzall. I love this car, but damn it's such a pain always something.
I was born and raised in Va.Beach, VA and I don't miss the inspection sticker malarkey however I can thank the inspection sticker for my surgical skills with a razor blade!! Those stickers were like wet single ply toilet paper...I was so ninja with it I used 1 sticker on 3 separate vehicles!! I call it Ninja and you call it broke loser
I wish I could take apart my Camaro SS motor and actually do this and get it to run. The satisfaction is probably the best feeling knowing you did it yourself and it actually works. I will learn one day but I’m not just going to take my new Camaro SS engine apart. I really respect ✊ you guys 👍🏻💥🚀
Big D I don’t work for RPM, but I do similar work these guys do. And they do it right that’s for sure. It can very rewarding, saves you money on labor ect.... Especially building “race cars” every day. But it does get repetitive at times. It’s fun with a good crew always joking around. But still, it gets almost boring. Just like any other job. Pays the bills
Just because 96+ is a plug in check does not mean that if you get the check engine light turned off that it will pass. I was told a story by the safety/emissions regional supervisor for the Lancaster Pa area. A customer brought a car to the shop with illegal mods in the engine bay but no check engine light. The car was plugged in, and some of the vehicle info needed to be updated. The tech had to look under the hood to get the info. If I remember correctly the car had some headers that deleted the cats. The tech reported it to PennDot because under normal circumstances he would not have popped the hood and the car would have passed. PennDot told the shop to fail the car.
Yes that genius didn’t drive the car long enough after the tune to complete the drive cycle monitors and gave the guy a reason to go looking. The regional supervisor is gonna quote the rule book. When you go see the guy getting paid minimum wage to plug in a scanner he doesn’t give a shit as long as there’s no mil light and all the monitors are complete you pass.
@@jkfonyi No it was not that the monitors were not reset. It was something with the registration information. Some info that is only under the hood, and that is when the tech noticed the illegal mods.
Well that is the most sophisticated obd2 reader I’ve seen. I work at a dealership and it takes our specialized computer and all we can check is if the ecu has been unlocked when we need to verify it hasn’t been modified for warranty purpose. We can only tell the info for our manufacture. Even a 6000 dollar snap on obd2 system doesn’t give us that info. So long story short don’t move to Pennsylvania where this guy is.
@@jkfonyi When someone gets their car inspected for the first time, you have to enter in the registration info, GVW, etc. I have had to do it several times, and I was a PA safety and emissions inspector for only two years.
What's the price on the Whipple set up that's on the blue 6gen? And which do y'all think is best Procharger,Magnacharger or the Whipple? Interested in doing a Charger and bolt ons on my 16 SS.
Steve I have noticed that every video the guys have the same look in their face when talking with you .... it disgust 🤣 thanks makes for some good vids 👍
No shit. Old and tired. Rear main, tailshaft, pinion? The front end is probably trashed too. Inners/outers, balljoints/control arms, possibly rack, struts, sway bar links and bushings front and back. Axle seals are probably leaking too. Money pit.
I would not advertise defeating emission devices to pass inspections because I am pretty sure that is against federal law...js some shops wont tune out codes because of that
If you have a high reading for hydro carbons... couldn't you just lean out the tune for when they do the test than switch back after passing. Correct me if I'm wrong but hydro carbons are just unburnt fuel?....
You guys should really think about publicly discussing on video how you circumvent emissions controls on vehicles that you know will be driven on public streets. Regardless of which state inspection you get around, it's still a violation of federal law to tamper with an emissions device, and the EPA is cracking down (SCT/Bullydog). I don't doubt the speed shops are next....
ChevyCobb In a court of law that really wouldn’t matter if they just admitted they are knowingly circumventing emissions control devices on street driven vehicles
Drives me mental that the freaking stock axle splines don't go all the way in on the hub but DSS axles fill the hub with no issues. Like legit GM purposely made axles for these cars to fail.
@@RaceProvenMotorsports true but damn... They just needed to make the splines fill the hub... Make the center weak if you want but when a shaft goes as it is now you lose the shaft AND the hub :( $800 CAD to fix which I know is like $69.95 USD.
To icebox it, probably not. To have some kind of cooling, I'd say thats about right. Just having a fan blowing on you is huge. Chilled air in any capacity is a game changer.
I actually think that was a good idea on the drainage for washing cars definitely gets cold as a mofo there. I live in the Tampa Bay area we basically don't even have a winner here maybe a few days of cold weather but it's hot as hell in the summer. PS I'm definitely what you guys on the California Fran says bye-bye LMAO Trump 20/20
CALIFORNIA ain’t as bad as everyone thinks. No one here follows the laws anyway lol. Tax in my area is only 7.25% . Fuel is about $3.75 a gallon. You can always get a dirty smog from your local smog shop lol. I would never live in that trash ,cold ,east coast weather . There’s nothing like California weed, weather and woman .
I liked the channel but sadly I'm getting bored of it because it's either a Corvette or Camaro with the same exact parts everytime it just seems like I'm watching the same video over and over again. It just needs some change sometime. I know you guys are Chevy guys but damn. Throw some of those engine's and parts in something they wasn't meant to be in. The same thing over and over again has to be boring and gets old for the crew too. Hell you already know what the cars are going to make before the Dyno by 10hp or so!
Understandable, however the RUclips channel is not the business, its a marketing tool for the business. Unlike other youtube channels where the youtube is the business, we aren't going to do stupid stuff just for youtube and ruin our name and reputation. The business was operating long before youtube and will operate even if the youtube videos stop.
I agree. If your doing heads cam intake on a Z06 7.0 you needs those rpm valve covers. It's a must have
Fran's dyno banter the last few episodes has been on point! 😂😂
I wear the white shirts because I let RPM do all the dirty work
Angry Eric in full effect today lol

and we say bye bye love it watching old videos
What is the irony that Fran is wearing a white shirt, just after the talk of the merchandise dilemma? LOVE THAT MAN!!!!
You can run open headers all-day in Florida
Maybe offer designs in a pre order for customers who want white. Let them know that you need to hit so many white shirts in order to order them. That would be a good option for future shirts possibly.
The day a RPM video goes up and there is NO cam insertion... and you had cam cars in the video is the day we know y'all killed Steve.
I knew it was revenge of the nerds. Damn I am getting old!! Well done guys
Erik Jeffery refuse to get old!!! 💪🏼

1. How many miles on the gto?
2. Is the whipple wasted on lt1 pistons?
Someone answer the second question lol
Did this car get upgraded lt4 fueling?
Lamda lamda lamda and the omega moos!
Boosted GTO lol, I was gonna write that.
Finally! A nerd reference! You go Booger!
Nerds!!! Gilbert, Louis, Booger and Lamar!
@@jeffmiesner2170 i forgot what I wrote that for this was 11 months ago 😂
Two different axle diameters are to cancel out wheel hop. Chevy did a similar thing in the C6 ZR1.
Oh? I figured it was due to the input on passenger side not being symmetrical to driver. That makes sense though.

Why change the OIL when you can just ROTATE it!
Georgia visually inspects to see if there are CATS. They won't even plug into the OBD2 system if they don't see them.
Why not buy a couple of those giant portable warehouse coolers?
Thank you guys should get a DB meter to show how loud some of these cars are. Many of your videos you comment on whether they are loud or not.
We did about a year ago and then everyone complained about the accuracy so we just stopped using it.

Is that oil filter April 8th or August 4th I wonder? Not good either way.
So I’m pretty new to the channel and was wondering why don’t you guys do trucks ?? Or do people just not bring them in ??
NO GUN FUN IN KALI
Don't beat up that GTO too much :(
That whipplecamaro sounded raspy
Too funny... and here's Fran wearing a white shirt @9:35 .... LOL I heard... @6:16 .... :-) LOL
The best part of the video is when you stopped talking. hahahahahahaha
LOL!! Matt is not right in the head. I like that guy!!! :D
I watch for the cam shots.
There better be some trans tuning in this upload 👹
MRZL1 no autos this week
Darn.. me love trans tuning 🤪
Eric going bareback .. Savage !!
Fran and his brother sound exactly the same.
I'm also waiting for the day California decides to be another hawaii....lol
Steve you need to get your BMW on the Dyno....
Jacob Meinema someday
That GTO needs new everything 🤦♂️

583 hp on the Camaro is that safe for daily driving?
Yes

I guess I’m just living the life in Ohio lol no cats, no inspections
If you have a high reading for hydro carbons... couldn't you just lean out the tune for when they do the test than switch back after passing. Correct me if I'm wrong but hydro carbons are just unburnt fuel?....
My Camaro SS needs a whip 🏁😁💥🚀

"For off road use only" and have the owner sign a waiver relieving the shop of liability.

15:07 I like the way you do it right there right there ...😂🤣
!!!WAYNES WORLD WAYNES WORLD PARTY TIME EXCELLENT!!!
Anybody knows what kind of rims he got on that blue Camaro ?
Z28 Reps
We say bye bye’s🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Cheaper for an axle to break than a trans or diff.

Man I would love to work for you guys.
Woops those pistons are soo dirty.
Come to Michigan, no inspections here, you’ll just lose your car in a pothole
I really never bet against the dealer.
Wow!? Tell me how you really feel about California. We still got the best looking women and the best beaches
Central Oregon rules. No emissions in any way.
Wash bay ftw
25-30 grand won't come close to being enough to put a/c in that shop.
To icebox it, probably not. To have some kind of cooling, I'd say thats about right. Just having a fan blowing on you is huge. Chilled air in any capacity is a game changer.
My wife says Matt’s eyes are pretty. I happen to agree with her.
Then go ahead and throw a dress on while you're at it!

NISMO MIKE I’m guessing this is your first episode, Fran is the owner and tuner at RPM. So no he’s not a mechanic in his shop.
That’s a good price buy one get one free
Say bye bye to the richest state in the union = saying bye bye to over 14% of the money that the federal government collects
Nice!!
move to texas
God that GTO was gross tho.
