"That's why all the young kids want 'em." That dyno tuner is the man. 🤘

Tony, 3M has these roloc bristle disc (3M-18730) and they are amazing for removing old gasket or paint. Since they are made of plastic, they will not remove any metal. I just love them. They make a hard job so easy.

I appreciate the level of "affordable" vs performance these builds are at. A bit more put into them than the Vice Grip level for performance, but you're not needing a second mortgage like some "lose the shop" places!

"Lucifer's Taint" sounds like the name of one of those Hot Sauce lollipops...

The Shop so needs an HVAC sponsor! A HVAC fan to come hook it up with a furnace and a.c.!

You men are magicians, turning garbage into gold, I can't thank you enough for all the great content - you're a great teacher - making learning fun

Damn! We accidentally built a Gen 1 LS motor that has 500 Hp with a little bit of work, some new rod, cam and heads! That vet is going to another badass pizza garage racing team car! You guys are one bad crew! Also, welcome to the team to the new guy! I can't wait to see this 500 hp vette ripping!

My, pop just gave me his 04 5.3L Silverado so I can rob the engine for my 68 C10. I’m gonna go with the same setup after I freshen up the block with a 5.7 or 6.2 rotating assembly. Thanks for the much needed inspiration! Can’t wait to see the C6 rip! Keep up the great work Stay Tuned Team. You guys are The Best! Wish you much success!

I'm over in the UK doing my first LS1 based build - I've got a similar spec cam and now I'm seriously considering getting a pair of those summit heads shipped over!! 490hp with just mild heads and cam is wild!

I think it just depends on WHO is doing the LS swap. When it comes to Tony I almost wanna see the swap more just to see his take on it , and how he approaches a “simple” build like this. 🔥 good stuff keep grinding

Tony I want to paint the Sike Clone!

And that's why I love my LS1 , I've also been told 500 hp is about as much as the stock C5 power train can handle reliably , great job guys !

“I hate when these modern interiors are all blown apart” This is a 25 year old car sir!

I keep seeing alot of vids lately about Bob Glidden. I was there watching him go in indy in person from 1979 thru 1985 ish. I am not a ford guy but admired what he was doing. He didnt eat pizza he ate midwest home cooked meals and turns out he could cook like no tomorrow his own self and when not racing loved to entertain and make meals. I love all these fellers....Glidden, Johnson, Shepherd, Allen, Nicholson, Mannarino, i could go on and on from just the late 70s thru the 80s. The Grump always heads this class and from PA. These names and more need to be remembered. I hope they all will. Who did i forget?

A lot of people hate on the C5 but it’s probably my favorite corvette.

My favorite channel! I just installed a mild cam in my 2004 C5, 218/226, 587 lift, and stock 243 heads, kept stock exhaust…..420 crank hp. 70 hp jump, 4:10 gears, and she flat gets after it. It doesn’t take a lot to motivate these LS1 engines.

I'm going to suggest Tony's torque spec methodology as an operational efficiency improvement for our nuclear power maintenance project work.

I love watching Tony assemble an LS with all hopped up parts, reminds me of the MT shows. Stay Tuned rocks!

Barb's boy looks just like him! Just, you know, younger. ❤
