Almost six months since my C6Z stage 3. Have two problems, no traction in 1st and 2nd haha, my Michelin pilot sport as3 not the best for high hp applications either. My granddaughter just said “I forgot how fast your car is grandpa”. Love the results I got from the RPM crew. I always display my extra large laminated dyno and build sheet when showing. Get lots of compliments on the way the car looks and especially the way it sounds. Thanks again RPM!!

I watch every video you guys make. I just bought an 08 Z with only 4000 miles and will be doing your stage 3 first thing next year. I would love to see you guys add at least a 10second clip of each car when it's finished just idling. I personally love what these cars sound cammed, the chopping is really the only reason I'm doing your stage 3 haha. So just throwing that idea out there. Maybe get you more business as well who knows Thanks guys. Look forward to meeting you all soon. I'm in NJ btw so I'll be driving up to drop off and to pick up.

What is the rod-mod? In OE configuration the intake manifold has an extremely sharp transition from the plenum to the top of the runners. Air hates sharp edges, and loves curves, so the rods give the air a nice radius to follow into the intake manifold. The porting (at least what we do at GPI) removes the stands from the middle of the manifold to increase plenum volume, cleans up any casting flash from the runners, and cleans up the throat by flush cutting the vacuum ports. Our ported rod-mod has been tested by many and proven to consistently gain somewhere around 10whp on a cammed 6.2, and make significant gains through the mid-range.

400hp VW owner here....hoping to graduate to a "big boy car" eventually Ideally a C6 either LS3 or 7. Obviously the Z06 is king C6 but I am ok with the LS3 cars after hearing cams in them....I told my wife I want to set car alarms off and "disturb the peace" with a corvette one day 🙏 Mods don't seem all that more expensive than for my VW. Got about $5k in the VW so far and not done yet. Should he a good warm-up for a real sports car.

My '08 Base Vette got a BTR Stage 2 cam/kit swap 4 years ago. It Dyno'd 451hp at the wheels. BTR claimed a 67hp gain, and I believe that's about what mine got with no other mods. Mine has NPP, for a little help.

The LS3 intake with the rod mod performed AND fully ported typically picks up 6-8 to the wheels on a stock engine and 12-15+ on cammed setup. Supposedly worth it for the gains under the curve.

@@nicklashway6636 I've watched that video as well; however, that's a single test. Additionally, Richard even verified in the comments that the manifold they used only had the rod mod performed with no additional porting. Plenty of other third party sources and shops have shown differently on them for years now, which is where the general consensus on those numbers gradually came from.

I'm torn between buying a low mileage C6 Grand Sport or a new car for the warranty, updated interior etc.. I love C6's but the older I get, the less I care about having a quick car, the more I care about a nice interior and just having enough power to have fun on the street without going to jail for taking 2nd or 3rd gear up to redline, lol.. if I do end up with a C6, I'll definitely have it shipped to you guys for the tune and mods etc.. I'm right down the road in Maryland. Were you the shop that used to be in Overlea/Rosedale, MD right off the highway or am I confusing you with a different RPM?
