The fact you are so diligent and have the attitude / awareness that something was wrong and you could but wouldn’t let it leave your shop (“couldn’t sleep at night”). Dude. That speaks volume about your shop/ business. I admire the hell out of that. We need more of this across the board!

Fran stayed with it until the desired outcome was achieved!!! KUDO'S, love to see him on it like that! Respectfully, Seth

I love the way you show the engine data in real time during the dyno runs. Fascinating to watch the boost and air/fuel ratio during the run. Brilliant!

Kudos to Fran for the weight loss. You look like a new human. Way to go!!

I’m not even a big GM fan but the way you guys act with each other, the sarcasm, type of humor, etc. I’m a big fan of that bc it reminds me so much of my shop that I work at😂😂😂 I subscribed in a heartbeat after the pics of poor old boys car that got quintessentially chopped💀🥲

The attention to the boost drop off and not calling it a day for that car is the exact reason why I would ship my car to these guys over taking it to anyone local. Always respect the respect RPM has for their customers to not half ass anything.

$900 for complete powertrain removal and disassembly is quite the bargain.

I would trust my car with these guys without any worries and Im very particular.

I’m just in the middle of the video, but what about a boost leak? I dealt with my fair share of belt/tensioner issues on my Whipple car, but the pro charger has a ton of extra silicone couplers and intercooler as potential leak points

I would think that a Whipple would make more torque under the curve vs the snail procharger. Wouldn't the Whipple feel faster? I did forward to the dyno section. Probably missed something here.

Fran what is your opinion on running a Wastegate on centrifugal blower setups. Been reading up on them but wanted to hear your opinion

@scotts1668

8 ай бұрын

My opinion is if it's a stick car that is down on tq and your willing to deal with more moving parts and potential failure points it has a place. If it's a 10 speed or a daily driver I wouldn't recommend it.. just my opinion from someone who was down on tq and a stick car and greatly considered it but still decided not to because of more failure points and it being my daily.. keep in mind one of the great things about centri blows in the linear power curve which is great for street traction adding that wastegate could potentially give u a aggressive power curve and blow the tires off (obviously this is tunable but if u have to tune most of that boost out to keep traction) WAS IT WORTH IT,? Just my 10c

@@scotts1668? The whole point of gate on a procharger is to control boost and not be locked in to pulley size . So you put smallest pulley for top end power and open wastegate down low to cut power and control traction .

To add to the guys who are wondering about the insults being thrown at others in the shop that may not know as much. Obviously, you apply for a job you know where and what they do. You HAVE to have some job knowledge. I’m a fairly new DIY guy, I’m not “into cars” and documenting a huge shop but I know that I should know what a trunion is. Also, work ANY job long enough and have a helper/ new hire that doesn’t pick up on shit. I’m patient as all get out, after a few months I’m spitting fire tf are they supposed to do. Third, if you meet fire with fire, it’d chill. Cat doesn’t know enough about the hobby he’s into to even counter on the basic level. No knock against the camera guy but if you wanna level a playing field you learn what you need to about what you’re dealing with. It’s not a Disney editing job.

Not so sure I would take off a Whipple for a procharger I've had a procharger and they're just a pain in the ass😊

This sport is not cheap you have to pay to play wanting to get it down cheaper could cost more then what you would have spent doing it right the first time.

Brrrrpppppp

Crazy how the very experienced mechanics who 100% specialize in GM vehicles, specifically LS/LT platforms, know everything inside and out and act like a person who is learning this stuff should automatically know it all like them. If their annoyed about the videos and social media stuff then they should work somewhere that doesnt operate this way. Its funny at times but more makes them look like a holes who are actually ignorant as they dont want to spread their knowlege in a productive way. Not the greatest look overall to the shop. Plus the way they talk about peoples cars at times that are paying a premium to have them worked on there.

Haven’t heard them talking crap about customers though that was simply a story. I mean they talk shit to each other but what shop doesn’t?

When I sold cars, I was able to drive both a procharged 5.0 mustang and one with a rousche supercharger, which is similar to Whipple. It was night and day. The procharged mustang had a little more top-end power, but the rousche charged mustang had much better throttle response and more torque at lower rpm. I'd much prefer a Whipple or rousche supercharger over a procharger. The looks of the top-mounted superchargers is the icing on the cake.

This it what happens when the pro's Like, National Racing in VA says 13K for a Whipple and a tune, and your buddy say's Hey I know someone who can do it for half that? Don't listen and Just keep saving and go to the pro's shite they send you home with a 12 month warranty even.. And if you spent 40K to 60K on your car, and you just hand it over to the local guy, Thats a huge Mistake.. We also have a guy in South Jersey doing Coyote Swaps in Notckbacks and 88 GT's around here, But IDK.. For now I need the MGW shifter put in first.. In about 2 years i will be ready for the super charger.. Not going to be happy till I hear the SC scream...
