Power Hour with ZZP
SUMMER RESET
[music] Anyway, that's how I ended up in the middle of a turf war between two flocks of flamingos. That was really hard to get out of. I did not think I was going to say flocks of flamingos. Okay, but they're not all flamingos member, zoologist. Those are Canadian geese and flamingos. That's true. That was a turf war. Somebody just painted the geese pink. Yes. I think. Those are definitely Canadian geese. And yeah, are we doing a lot? Canadian goose has taken Canadian deuces. It's funny because they poop a lot. Yep. Stop it. I know. What is up everybody? Thanks for joining us, ZCP Power Hour Number 167. We're calling it summer reset today. How do we add these anymore? This is. 167 boys. Past half of the year. What the heck are we going to do it? Yeah, we talked about it doing lunch and I was like. It was over. Oh, no. It's July. Oh, no. It's basically winter again. It's basically winter. Before we get into whatever the heck we're talking about today, I'm going to go over a little bit of housekeeping. If you guys haven't noticed, obviously we've been off the air for the last few weeks. We are making a change and we are now going to the last Friday of every month. It's going to be the ZCP Power Hour. We got a lot of stuff to do around the shop. So we're just kind of reorganizing, figuring things out. You know, it might change down the road. It might not, but right now look forward to us last Friday of every month and then pass that. I got this beautiful piece in front of me. God's engine, God's gift to engine. They're parts for you. Stainless boys. You may all bow. Tyler, do you want to talk about what you want me to talk about this day? You know, I like it. It's a really cool product that we've been working on for a while. Obviously, the LNF comes with a stock turbo manifold, but this is our new stainless version. It is fully cast stainless steel. Precision CNC faces. I want it off the LNF manifold because that interferes the least when it comes to larger turbos. And you probably can't see from the podcast viewing area, but we cut down that center section divider there. Obviously, the stock KO4 is a twin scroll. We cut down the scroll and we put it on a big turbo car. You decrease full time, pick up some boost. Overall, it's an awesome piece. Very well priced. It's on the website right now. Go check it out. But very excited to offer these. We're going to put these in all the entry level turbo kits. We eliminated some clearance issues. We used to use the LDK manifolds and now we're back to this. It comes with titanium studs. Killer piece. And you think it looks pretty now? Wait till it gets heat cycled a few times. There's this thing chilling on the back of Paul's goblin with a Z54. I mean, we may bless LSH with the coolest LNF parts. So FYI guys, just to reiterate, Tyler just said it. KO4 guys, not a great part for you. Yeah, you don't want that. Yeah, you don't want to stick with your stock because that's for the twin scroll. I actually help. So we did some tests on the KO4 and on the Z series and the ZFR turbos is an increase for the ZFR and the Z series turbos, increases full and power. Not as great for the KO4 due to the twin scroll. And it's not going to crack in the center. And it don't crack because there's no center. What's on over there? What's on over there? So like Connor said, LHU, LDK manifolds fit a little bit different. We're going back to this. It's been tough to source OEM LDK manifolds and they are expensive. So this will be moving into the entry level kits, which is great. But yeah, getting into what we're talking about today. Let me stop you real quick. Yeah. What do you have? You can redo the new podcast schedule. We have a weird delay. Ah. Okay. What? Right at the end of your skills. Yeah. Wait, do we not get the flamingo versus geese? No. No. So what? Well. Not as quick today. Anyway. Oh, well. So for what you guys missed, we are moving the schedule of the podcast from every week. As you've seen now, we are going to the last Friday of every month. It's going to be the Z power hour. There's a pin that's like a flock of flamingo almost like a flock of flamingo. Oh, man, that is hard to see. Anyway, so we're talking about summer reset because it is creeping into July here. Mm hmm. It's over summer. It's winter. Get your cars up. We're going to talk about products that have come out this year. Cars that we've worked on here in the shop. What we've got coming down the line and then personally, different cars, different events. What we're doing. Yeah. Randy, I'm going to throw it over to you because Mr. platform here. Guys. Is that my name? You took the title from Tim. Yeah. Yeah. You got a new car. I did get a car. I was tired of being slow. You needed some cubes in the mix here. I needed some cubes and some real-wheel drive. So your boy found himself a good deal on a CTSV sport. We're going to be doing some stuff in the shop over the next couple weeks. It does require a fresh engine because that's how I got a good deal. Yeah. Who's got a good deal? Good thing we got that on lock. Yeah. So we got lots and lots of LF4, LF3 stuff going on behind the scenes. But we're going to, I think we're just going to do, like, titanium rods, ten over pistons. Then we're going to throw our catalog at it. Yeah. Hey, Connor. Check ZZPerformance.com. It's on the website right now so you can go see what the price is. It's on the website right now. The CTS has always been lurking in the background of the ATSV. And as the demand grows, you know, we did a cat back for it. We've got downpipes for it. We've got a flex kit. We've got our intakes. Yeah. And, you know, just like, I think there's a Zoom has a rant on here about all the takes for somebody to buy one. And Randy has now bought one. Yeah. We'll be definitely diving in a little deeper. I believe the control arms fit already. So it's already a good platform to start with. Yeah. And it's just sad because you don't see, like, people do modify them, which is great because we want to make parts of you guys. But there's not a whole lot of documentation behind it, like, doing these things. This is how you can get here. The price point is significant compared to an ATS, too. Oh, yeah. And as far as bang for the buck, I think the CTS is a lot more car. Yeah. Maybe, I mean, physically. It is a bigger car. Yes. Big girl. Speaking of the CTS. I don't know. I haven't seen Paul in here yet. Shout out to Paul. Paul let me crash at his house and steal his trailer and truck to retrieve this. And let it sleep there for a little while. Yeah. Retrieve this deal of mine. So shout out to Paul because he is the main. But yeah. I'm hoping. What's cool about stuff like this is when we get one in house, too. You know, sometimes guys, we do make parts kind of blind. You know, like, in a sense. We don't guess, but like, hey, this part fits here. We've had customers say, oh, yeah, it fits perfectly. You know, we kind of go off of a community, you know, that we're a part of. We go have a community's feedback. So that's why France is a very small one. I feel like it fits great. But we've come to find out that it doesn't fit perfect. Yeah. So we literally just perfected it yesterday. Yeah. And, you know, and then as far as like any R&D on CTS stuff, like when we did the cat back, we borrowed a good friend CTS. And now we'll just be able to use our boy Randy over here for all the R&D. Yeah. Should be in the parking lot. Yeah. And you know, Randy's cars are always top notch. Always. He's going to have it. He's going to have it flexing real soon. Yeah. Got some. I bought wheels for it before I have a car. So yeah. Normal car guy stuff. Got some wheels and some bits sitting in the garage. I'm really excited that the fact that the engine is, you know, in need of help. Because that is going to allow us to dive in there and essentially create a foundation that's going to carry you to work every day and then also casually. I mean, world's fastest CTSB sport. Easy without really drying probably. But I mean, that's the goal. Middle ovens right now. Yeah. Everybody wants a fast car. I think we can probably get that car into the 10s pretty quickly. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Definitely I'd say the goal, right? Yeah. 10 seconds. Yeah. I like a mid high 10 seconds. Maybe just SCT next year. Something I can toss the dogs in. Katie can drive it to work if she wants to. Like nothing that's going to be unstreetable and dryable. Just something that's. But realistically, like Bo said, the amount of car physically and, you know, performance wise that you get for the dollar on those things is crazy because they have an awesome transmission. Yeah. It's the OADE. Yeah. Dude, that thing. It's really great. It's basically an ATSB engine. You know, well yours will be. But the fact that we can build on that and we can make some videos and kind of showcase what that car is about, I think might bring a little more attention to the vehicle itself. Yeah. Somebody in the market for an ATSB might go. Yeah, it's good to see. That's what I wanted at first. I was like, I love ATSB's. I drove a couple of them and I was like, well bang them and buy one of those. And when I look at good quality versions of them, you're getting mid 30s. Oh, yeah. It's not more. It's not more. Especially if you want like a well specked one of vector blue manuals sedan. Good luck. That is the second best one for sure. That's the first best one. That's the best color. Can we put up in the chat? What's the better color for cars? Mike, white, blue, or red? But not a boring ass red. But anyway, the last time we probably left off to you guys, not to cut out your steel off, Andy. We were heading the street car takeover. We were. And we went. And we went. And we kind of slayed on all platforms. And everything that ZCP did, we came and we cleared house. Came, conquered. So had fun. I think the biggest thing. And in classic matinee golf fashion. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We goes up. Well, let me let you back it up. Back it up. Hit it, Bob. So we're hitting Friday at street car take Friday is street car takeover. Shop has Friday off. We're going to go do some racing. We're rolling into Monday. Tuesday comes around in Tyler nine. Ryan, we're like. We're sitting good. We've never been so ready. We're not going to have any late nights wrenching. Like we're, we might as well just start drinking now. And then matinee coffee goes, hmm. Do you think we could change the engine and the turbo kit on in the race? I'll put a new engine in to get on the race. On Monday. On Monday. And so suddenly our schedule went from check entire pressures to changing engines and doing turbo kits and tuning. And he looks at me and I'm like, well, we ain't got nothing else to do. I guess other than we have everything to do, but, you know, we might as well build another nine second L.T.G. real quick. So we install an engine and mats what was currently just full R and D. A.T.S. rat. Yeah. And so we installed the forge engine in there stage three cams because of the full current L.T.G. program and then did a tubular manifold on it and a 257 mat put it on the dyno Thursday. Did some four or five shifts. He said, it's good for the trailer. We, we VHT the tires real quick and Matt rolled in casually late Friday night. Yep. Six o'clock. Something like that. And, you know, he made one pass. Got some data. Went up for another pass. Did a nine. Six of a nine five nine nine five nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine. Not even not even dipping the toes into the nine. I'm in here. Yeah, I'm deep. I'm deep. Yeah. Back wheels in. So thankfully over the winter, we did add a cage to that car because in the back of our minds, we knew it was going to do this. We just didn't expect it to fall together in three days. And, you know, so that was super cool and he went up to make another pass, had a transmission decoupling issue that we believe, but it, but it didn't, but it did, but it didn't. It didn't want to drive that day and then like the next morning we fired it up and we were like, oh, yeah, oh, this is perfectly fine. Why did you get mad car? So it'll be back, but, you know, now we got two nine second LTGs and Matt's piloted both and tuned both and it's been super easy breezy there and what a, what a like, you know, that car is gone fast. It's gone 10. Oh, that's, that's plenty quick. Yeah. But to come out the first race, race weekend, hey, you want to casual midnight? Just get it like we say it's so casually like so nonchalant, but like, dude, that's a fast. That's a fast car. Yeah. Like traffic. What? One one forty eight or nine or something like that. Yes. That's fast. It was, it was low one forties and sorry, Matt, we're totally butching your spotlight. But yeah, and that was our big thing too, is we wanted to be the first LTG to trap one forty. Yeah. Um, you know, that was kind of mass deal there is you want, he wanted that one forty time slip. So, um, we secured that, which is super cool and a hundred forty mile in the quarter for a two liters. That's fast. Doing some stuff. That is fast. Yeah. That is real real. Yeah. Obviously, there's a lot of development, different things that have gone into this car. Yeah. But really, it was easy. Yeah. Like, we've set up the program where we know and we'll get to what else we did that day, but yeah, the fact that he was able to roll in on Monday and say, Hey, I'm this ready to go and it was ready to go and we just, yeah, speaking of what we, what else we did that day with the LTG and, you know, what we developed is that Matt's ATS setup was nearly identical to what you have in your car down to everything besides the turbo. And what'd your car do that? Oh, yeah. This is, this is, this is the juicer right here, boy, almost full weight street car. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, uh, shout out to Jake Star, one of our customer slash competitors slash, you know, guy who's in the community, he, uh, well, shoot, he got the pipe going three months ago probably probably four or five months ago. He, he was making some posts and I called him out and I was like, Hey, show up to street car takeover in June in Michigan. And you know, you say that, yeah, and somebody's like, Oh yeah, sure, I'll be there. Mans showed up. Yeah, she showed up. He was, you know, find out. Yeah. I go from Iowa. Iowa. Yeah. So that's so, you know, I, I will also get cool with that, we'll agree with town on that one. Like now many customers actually come out here and race. Oh, yeah. We have gone many, many states over in the past to race many times over and it's very really customizable as you show up, because last time actually I called him out, but you know, yeah. So, so huge props to him for actually coming out, but basically the, the battle was two different turbos. He's got his, uh, hybrid small frame turbo and then Z 57, uh, we went out earlier this year in the Camaro clicked off an 11 to first time the car had been in the track in four or five years with extra weight in it for weight tools in the bag. Yeah. Tyler's like, yeah. Yeah. Top goal. Yeah. Top goal. Half goal. Half goal. Back. Friggin drunk. Drunk full millers. Standard. Tyler's back on the car. So, uh, we show up to street car takeover. We start doing the roll racing. The car's trapped in like 125 miles per hour in the rolls. Pretty, pretty spicy. So, I was feeling neck and neck with a certain GTP. Ah, it was. It was a great race. So we're having fun. Friday night is when they close down the roll racing and then they move into digs. And, uh, we go up there and me and Jake raced the first shot out and the car runs like an 11 four. And I'm like, but now it ran that, but you were, were you physically ahead? Yeah. Yeah. So the car was physically ahead, but it ran a slower time. Yeah. So I got the win light. We come back and I'm like, man, that's kind of weird. That was partially my fault. Uh, I ran the car too low, I guess, which, uh, hey, you know, great, great stuff. Anyway, so we put some fuel in it, go back up to the line again, get a good launch. I was like, man, that felt great. Grab my time slip. And it's even slower and 11 eight, but it's still like a hundred and twenty three miles per hour. And I'm like, what is something that's not making sense? Yeah. Something's not making sense. So we go back and, and we're talking, um, this, this, and I'm just before you. I know what you're about to say, but I'm not going to ruin it. This is a shout out to how talented and smart the people that we are working with are somebody that knows this. And this is Matt Meekoff guys. This is and Mr. Stephen. Steve Higman. Yeah. So literally Matt and Steve. Max support. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, like up there with his, his phone recording for a reason. Yeah. For a reason. Not like, Oh, this is going to be cool. Like, no, this is data review. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah. So, you know, I, I. It's a good launch and I can feel it and, you know, you know, when you're drag racing, you can feel that something's running good. And then the slip says that my 60 foots like a 2.4. That's like walking off the line. Yeah. So. It's like. Cobalt. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. And, uh, so there, Steve's watching the video and he's looking over it and he brings it back and him and a Matt, him and Matt are going back and forth and Matt's like, wait, wait, wait, stop. Pause. Okay. Roll it back. Now go forward. Like frame by frame. And he goes, watch the bulbs. He goes on, off, on, off. Why do they go off twice? Yeah. So what we figured out, the only thing that changed in between the last time and this time. Oh, no. Mr. I was like, how is this thing looking good? We put a front lip on the car, put a front lip on his Camaro. It was tripping the shit out of the beans. Yeah. And properly, see, I was lining up on the front lip at the beams, not the tire, because we put the skinnies on, which lowered the car and the front lip was like low, low, low. So, uh, what was happening was as I was building boost on the line, the car started to lift up. Well, it starts his time. Tripped the beams, starts the time. I go. So it was way off. I run the car back to the pits, Ryan whips the lip off, go out next pass, crack off at 10-8. That's true. Just, it, it was really honestly doing 10-8. It was on the 10-8. It was on the 10-8. It's all been done. He's like, boys, I'm done. I'm doing my job. Why are you not telling him? I'm doing my job. See, this is supposed to show that fake low makes your car slower. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. But no, but no. Yes. Yeah. So, uh, cracked off a couple more 10-8s. The, the air was really good Friday night as it always is. So it didn't get any faster, but it ran three 10-8s, another 10-9. Like, the car is just consistent, it's dialed, it is, it's perfect. Like, I, like Bo said, I drive it to golf every Wednesday, and then I can swap some tires on and take it to the track and run a 10. Yeah. So first street car. Street car. ATG in the 10s. Yeah. And the only one. Yeah. And my man over here, second 10 second platform car, cause he piloted the Sonic to 10s two years ago. Now he's like, ah, let me just do the L.T.G. And by the way, his daily driver Camaro is faster than the, it is, it is, it's a lot easier to drive. Yeah. Oh my God. If, if you go back to a couple of podcasts ago about pick your weapon or pick your poison, I don't know something, the right tool for the job. Right. But, but, but legitimately though, it kind of just dipping very quickly. This is literally the perfect thing that talks about the Camaro, like when ZP set out for some reason Camaro guys separated sales from the ATS guys, you know, it's the same platform and same engine. Yeah. So that's why we're like, well, we got to run out of the Camaro. We got to run out of the ATS. And so, and we did. And we did. And so for a fully streets cable car, it's faster than a lot of L.T.1 cars. Yeah. We did it in a four, we did it in a four cylinder car and it very easily actually. Yeah. And it's not like it's, it requires trickery, you know, you don't need a WAP box. You don't eat it. This is stock PCM. This is stock trans stock converter, stock axles, just throw a tire on it and it's good to go. And it's a second faster than a ZL one. Yeah. I bet those guys are butter. Yeah. There was definitely some boys mad that we had grand priz and four cylinder Camaro's going faster than their V8 cars. Oh yeah. But I was standard ZZP style. Yeah. So, kind of that bull run down, what else we brought, what else we did. You know, we had a zoom's car out there, obviously. Super happy with that. Best of 11, two at 124, almost 125 miles an hour. Yeah. Which that car hasn't been in the track in two years and we just changed the tires and the oil. And that car ran really, really well, really well. Yeah. Not a full kill mode. We would just get it up to just shake her down and see what she did. Yeah. It was, you know, it's, we got a pretty mild setup on it right now that's been super consistent. The biggest thing that this year at street car takeover did was it reignited some of ZOOM's passion in that car. Yeah. Which is, he is displayed greatly, which I couldn't be more thankful for in the end, honestly. Yeah. And so we're going to be diving back into some Zoom or GTP things because Zoom for a lack of better terms wants it to go much, much faster. And it can. Yeah. And so. Zoom has this weird zoom. Zoom has this. Zoom. Zoom has this same voice. There's the wheels there. It's up to me to find the way. Yeah. None of our, none of the other new cars can beat his car. Otherwise, it's a thing. And so now the fact that Tyler's car and the Sonic had beat his car, he made it. Okay. But the biggest thing I'd say for ZOOM's car being there is we had it on a 15 for the first time in 15 years and it didn't look good. And I, yeah, the dudes running the tracker like, brother, you need more air in them tires. And I'm like, no, they're just right. We did a, we did a one five, seven, 60 foot, no wheelie bar, just RZ to be coilovers. So I was super happy with that. And then, you know, trapping one 24 next to Tyler's car was awesome on an M 90. And other than that, I have lost my train of thought, uh, oh, the equalizer. We shout Alex, I told him, uh, you know, this week, I was like, Hey, we're taking ZOOM's car down there. We got the equalizer on it. I really just want to please the crowd with this thing and put it on the rev limiter and make some passes. And I think it did exactly that. And everybody that was there that week, it was, it was really cool having all, you know, we had a couple of livery cars out there. We had a couple of others with the race team banner. And we had six or seven cars, just hot lap and all day. And it was so cool to watch videos of my Camaro going down the track and the announcer when we get up there. He's like, shout out to CCP for coming out. They brought a whole gaggle of cars. I think I ran Ryan's car like back to back. Yeah. I ran Ryan's car like four or five times. Yeah. I mean, yeah. But that's a ball. We'll talk about the other cars before we go off. Yeah. Like what, what other cars we bring and what? Uh, we brought our, our maroon, GTP, Ryan, our mechanic piloted it called. We call it grimace. Purple. Purple. Anyway, we, we, if you've been following our 3,800 page at all, we had all of our bell train parts and that, um, that was kind of our last two route before we pulled the bell train parts out, um, which all look great. So we'll be moving forward with some production on that, but got Ryan some seat time. That car went mid 12s on an ex mechanic. Oh my gosh. That's the two ones on a gen three, um, our mechanic, Chris Boltman took our wheel drive ATS out there, um, he ran some 12 O's and that, um, spicy on those rpf one. Oh yeah. Rpf one guys. I'm very big. USDM JDM wheels on American cars, my business car looks so good. I was so sad when we took those. I know. Yeah, four door ATS on an 18 by eight and a half is just right. Yeah. Yeah. Good wheels and tires. Um, Randy, Randy. So guys Friday, our Randy Joe, my car up there, you know, racing in the ball. We made it from the roll racing with it. It was his first time, first, first time driving, he did very well. You know, like, I maybe, maybe we got a maybe two or three more mile down. Maybe. Maybe. But he ran it. He tried 2019. Yeah. I literally drove to the shop picked up Ryan's car, drove it there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And guys, the car for, you know, people say, Oh, roll race is easy. It's not because you have to know a car, you have to know a driver and my car is finicky to drive. It is. There's no offense. If anyone drives, they're like, whoa, what is up with this car? It's like, yeah, you just got to get used to it. Yeah. Clutch the shifter. You know, it's. I did have a couple compliments. A couple guys were like, man, that, uh, that HTS you're driving, uh, the auto is pretty quick. And I was like, I know it's manual. And the guy was like, what? What? Yeah. Cause I know with shift boys, I just keep that. Killer car. Yeah. Yep. Yep. It is such a fun car to drive. It's very fun. And it's comfortable. It's got the V seats in it that are like, you know, real comfortable around the, around the sides. Yeah. It's a good car. Per always come see us next year at street car. Yeah. Yeah. A couple cars out there. Yeah. Yeah. We did that. We did, um, you know, Thomas made it myself. We also car show stuff. Cause I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. It was going to be able to race. Yeah. We had two other customers. The ATS has come out Saturday. Kind of run some good times on that. I think two all wheel drive cars. Robert Bing. Bing. Gowski, I believe. And his daughter and both ZZP engines in those. That's his car is the fastest all wheel drive, which is, which runs like an 11.3. Yeah. Which is pretty impressive. Yeah. Which is pretty great. So it was really great to see everybody. They came out, there were a couple other customers that, of course I'm going to forget their name. But we love to see it. We love to have you guys out there. We're not going to make it to the July street car takeover in Indy. But hopefully they do what they did last year and do a late year in Indy. Because last year we went with the Sonic. I think it was September or October or something like that. But I really hope they put that on again because we can get a couple more cars ready and go out there and see that. And lay down another 10 in another track. Yeah. Just saying. Easy. Easy. So yeah. So, okay. We're talking about street car takeover. We're trying to do some other events, but you know, who kind of knows going on with that. What about some R&D stuff? You know, we have multiple, you guys are part of the main part of the R&D stuff. You don't have enough time. I don't want to talk about everything. So that's why, you know, at least I'll put my students as we're getting some new 3D printers very soon. We all. That is really cool. Yeah. We are getting 3D printers. I kind of helped me in Randy kind of had the R&D printer. I do a lot of the stuff and he helps me troubleshoot if I need some help with that. And he's very instrumental in that. So we're a team with it. And I've been doing a lot of 3D prints. We're making Tesla low release or I'm 3D printing. So I'm getting those on where those on the website. Yeah. You know, so we're getting some more parts of our Teslas. You know, we're 3D printing and testing all sorts of parts. We're working on like LSA cam. I mean, across the whole spectrum. That's I think some people don't understand and especially in the 3800 pages. People are like, Oh, you don't pay attention to the 3800 anymore. But what the no there. We have so many project going. Projects going at all times across all platforms that it would be impossible. We just had an impromptu meeting Tuesday in the office. Zoom and almost trying to name this new part that we're talking about. Yeah. It's not too much of a secret. I mean, as far as 3800 stuff goes, we got some throttle body stuff in the works. We got some intercooler stuff in the works. We got valve train, lifter trays, tensioners, cam bolts. You know, I mean, stuff that what's really important is stuff that's been discontinued. Yeah. And that's that's what we're doing. And we want to keep that platform alive. We see, you know, a lot of our OE drop in availability of parts for these cars. So we're just stepping in and, you know, carrying these cars through the next, you know, 10, 20 years. Just like we have in the past 10, 20 years of, you know, being able to keep mod and being able to keep turn wrenches, being able to keep enjoying these cars because they're still out there. And there's nothing, there's nothing worse than you're getting into. Say you're getting into a cam build and your lifter trays are all blown out. You can't go online. You can't buy them. Yeah. You got to either find somebody who somehow has some new old stock, but we're going to remedy that. We're coming. And, you know, you know, we're doing some new build series on the rhymes fired up this week on road to horse. What is it called? Road to horsepower. Road to horsepower. So be tuned for that. But, you know, as far as R&D goes, lots of turbo development for. Yeah. All the platform. Literally all the platform. I love it, you know, we're still tinkering on slingshot stuff, a ton in the background. Um, some lots of LNF stuff, ATSV stuff. Everything. We got some cool one four stuff. It just really goes out here on the website, brother. It just really takes a lot of time to, you know, run these things through the paces, finalize stuff and ultimately get it into your hands. It doesn't happen overnight. So, and that's, that's a good point, Bowen. I think you guys especially know so a lot of people say, oh, just make fun, put it out there. Yeah. No. That's not how it works. Um, a very, very, so I'm going to talk about it publicly with our customers because they were so close to it. Our poly, our 300 poly engine and trans. I get asked questions about that weekly multiple times. Oh, yeah. You have a test of the engine mount on your desk and we've been testing a trans mount. Yeah. As well in many cars. That's a, that's a, that's a pretty good example. Um, you know, we, that engine trans and poly mount thing has been being revised for probably going on two years now. And it's not for the fact that we don't want it in your hands. It's the fact that when we want it, when it gets in your hands, we want it the best that it can possibly be. And reliable. And it's breaking. You know, we're, we're, we're considering densities and height changes and bolt fitment and the whole deal. And we got to put it in a car and make sure it works and yada yada. Yada yada. And then right down to zoom, we get it all finalized. And he's like, well, I want it lighter. And so because zoom's buckled down on the weight thing lately, which is what built ZZP back in the day. Yeah, it really did. And so, I mean, it's gone to the point where we can't even create a part without it being lighter than what came off the car. So you throw that into the mix and, you know, there's a lot of, we're just, we're. Unfortunately, we're very thorough. And that takes time to develop. And, you know, I think being installed, they manager and fleet manager. That's one thing I've stressed greatly on too is guys are pushing banging, you know, customers are banging on my door. Tell me they want it. You know, guys in the ordering team are banging on my door. Tell me, let's go. And I'm like, you know, we just, we got to take our time on it more time. For sure. Cause any of the guys that helps you guys out something you're not emailing. Hey, my part broke. You know, I mean, you know, just, just like Tyler's cars. It's got a killer. You know, what I would believe killer, the best catch can system on the market right now. It's been on there for a couple months. And could we have probably whipped it together in three weeks? Sure. But we're going to take our time and make sure it's exactly what we need. Yeah. Brett, I'm glad to hear that you're picking up a zero four. I'm pretty sure that was you that I was talking about. He autocrosses his sonic. He's got the whole gamut. You're going to be super happy with that. That's going to. This is kind of. This is kind of the point in our season where, you know, we'd love to do a lot of events. We really would. We'd love to keep Drag Race in all year. Right. But we hit street car. We hammer it hard. We'll drag race in the fall, but between now and fall, we're going to turn some corners. You know, we got our tale of drag and trip coming up. And we're going to catch basically every autocross in between that we can here in Michigan. That's worthwhile. Yeah. I know it's planning on going to the Grand Valley autocross next weekend. I don't think I'm going to make that one. I think it'll be up north, but. Yeah, turning corners. I'm ready for some corners. You know, our favorite event, Berlin Raceway, they cut their spectator drag autocross. And Sarah just sent me a memory of two years ago in last year. But, you know, hey, maybe one day we'll have as easy to be autocrossed. Yeah, Joe P. He says, hopefully it's far by for a gen five L32 cars. I see this a lot, but I don't know why. Guys, you guys, you're followed by a huge. Yeah. L32. Follow body is big. Yeah, we've made 400 horsepower through that. Any times is the problem is is it's dry by wire. And it's for us to manufacture something that's going to be a little bit of an upgrade and still bolt on. It's going to be extremely pricey. Yeah. So, and unfortunately, there's no direct bolt. Like, if we could bolt on an LS three throttle body or something, but we can't do that. Yeah. So just invite so don't be stuck on like, it's already like that big. You don't need this big, you know, some of this big. It's a huge. It is. The L32. The LS four. And it's just unfortunate that it's tried by wire. Yeah. It limitates what we can do in the American. Going to the future. DIY. Everything. Let's go. Yeah. I just bought my first D.I car. I don't know. Oh, no. And it's going to be your fastest one. Yeah, probably. Yeah. But sometimes. The slowest car is the most fun. I will say the sonic does put the biggest smile on that car. Man, I've been driving the blue car the last couple of days and talk about ready to turn some corners. That car is freaking dialed. Yeah. And I hit up. What is that? O'Brien Street, the one that if you're going up Wilson and then take a left and it zooms. I was ripping that the other day, making all of eight PSI. It was great. Yeah. It was shifting at 75. The smiles per gallon do win. It does. Power is not everything. Making an APSI through some type of valve that's on M62. Yeah. You know, that's a little bit of an upgrade. Yeah, that's something. We do got some killer valves coming down the road for eating guys. You know, otherwise we're just getting really settled into the building this summer. Yeah. That's a whole new. That's a whole thing. Shop or shop. Shop. I just called you shop. What the heck? Who are you? Big M. Big shop. Killer video. Yeah. Walking you through the shop. We got our new warehouse. We got our new dyno. Yeah. Michigan sandwich is just something like he was everything. They all peed with you working on the on the computer screen. Oh. Yeah. That's got some. We did some testing on that. That's the problem. So it's a perfect example. The HP3, HP4, HP5, HP47,000. Yeah. Yeah. So we keep making this HP project and then like we put it in a vehicle and it does better and then like we tweak some stuff and it does better and then like I put it in a car and I'm like well Randy it did this which I've never seen before. So we're going to have to investigate. So rather than just building you guys in HP that is the same as what we used to sell, we're just really wrenching down on making the best possible version of itself that we can offer you guys. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're saying that we care about the car that we work on and we try to make the best part possible. We support our community. Well you know something like this HP, when this HP comes out, this is probably unfortunately the last HP insert that's ever going to see the 3,300. Yeah. So why not take an extra year to test the balls off of it and make sure it's perfect. Yep. That's right. And I've seen some things in the scans that I've been looking for in all other places have been. Apparently it's like some turbulence in an intake and a whole thing. You guys think we do like one, two, three iterations of something? No. I showed you the stack. I dino'd five of those before in a day before. I'm a revision 34 printing or an L.S.J. cam cover. I'm 34 vision. I printed and messed up and had to go back to the period what don't pay across the room. Not the whole cam cover. A cam end plate. We didn't, we don't want people thinking more about it. We're not doing that. Sorry, yes. We can't do that. That would be cool. Yeah. But like the HP 4 HP thing is like, but was like, can't really, it's doing this thing. And I was like, do you want it to do more or less of that? Do you want more of the thing or less? What it did was extreme, the latest revision we're like, all right, this is good. And it extremely smooth the math frequency. Yeah. And it's such a problem that I've dealt with on a lot of turbo cars is smooth math frequencies. And then it's doing it on a naturally aspirated car. And I'm like, wow, we got to get this in some turbo applications, you know, then the testing just rolls. And unfortunately, you know, I just we're working on it. We're working on it. Yeah. I'm just not good at dumping parts. I mean, like, that's good enough. I'm the worst person with that. Yeah. Good enough is not good enough when it comes to our parts. And that's, you know, going back to this manifold. You know how many times this manifold was on and off of the vehicle? Too many times. This specific manual, not the specific one, but this design was AB tested on two different vehicles with two different turbos. So my guys, Chris and Ryan bolted it on both of this at least eight times. And we dined it all eight revisions. Yeah, we wish testing one quick, but it does move quickly. I mean, we do that. We do say we do one a week. That's eight weeks. Yeah. So it's tough. So, so guys, too, again, I really want to hammer home the kind of what Bo is talking about. Like everyone thinks, Oh, let's just test parts all day. So this is in between us getting emails, trying to help you guys out, go have your customers come in, your customer bills, but when already me, Bo getting yelled at by Matt, by Tim, by the other people, by me, Hey, get this car and get this car and get this car. I mean, by car, they're like, this is, it's, it is tough sometimes. Yes. Like the biggest thing that I love about Mike's recap video, what's the name of that video, Mike, the building walk through her. Easy P shop tour, if you check it out, it's like two videos back. I've gotten a lot of comments on that even out in the wild people are like, Hey, I saw your shop video. That's awesome. And the biggest thing I want you to take home from that is it wasn't staged nearly at all. Mike walked through the building and that is how busy every individual is in this place to a tee right down to Mike starts in the front of the building, walks through, I'm talking to a customer. He walks through the rest of the building. People are working all the way to the back where he opens up the door and Matt meek off and Alex are downloading a car, not staged at all. Mike, Mike goes, yeah, it was awesome. I was in the warehouse and I heard a car and I was like, no, something's on the dyno just opens the door. And there it is like the amount of the amount of moving components in this facility are is just crazy. And then, you know, if you had an overhead view and could watch, I know, all day circle are spinning around our good, our good customer, John Kennedy came up from Tennessee today to dial in his half mile LNF and, you know, he, he pulls in. He's like goodness. This facility looks like a completely new building. Oh, he's like, you know, I thought everybody on Facebook said ZZP was going under and I'm like, you know, it's funny what the keyboard warriors think when they never actually see it. He's going down here. He's going under. What do you mean? We unload his car and we're, we're, we're talking about everything talking over the plans. And, you know, I'm like, Hey, bring some stuff inside. I'm like, Hey, here's the new shop, you know, this is kind of how we're operating now. Here's the warehouse. Here's the dyno. And I'm like, it's really cool because I'm like, you hear that? That's Tyler across the street right now, making polls on our old dyno and the other warehouse. And then, and I was like, here, open this door. Hey, this is Tim right here making polls on this dyno. Like we are operating at such a high capacity at all times that, you know, as far as it comes down to an 84 insert, again, guys, we have to try to find stuff and just think that's one part for one platform. We have seven platforms. We're trying. We're trying. But guys, too, I believe our vice president, Kyla, said earlier today, our number one resource, we have two resources that we never have enough of. Number one is time time to a space. Yep. Right. Absolutely. There is never enough time. My emails are getting low. I'm like, all right, when I get back to the 3D printer stuff, I start to take apart this other one to free up some other stuff and then someone pulls me here and they're cussing up the front window and I get a pool parts here. It's a great point. Like every employee here is under that same. Yeah. It doesn't matter who it is. And that's part of like what makes this work so well is so many of us have hands in all different areas. But same thing, I sit there and I might have an entire day of that's only remote tuning. And then I got to think, okay, well, I got to do some product photos and then both like, hey, you got to diagnose this car and you just bounce it back and forth and at the same time, I'm like, I got some clutch stuff to do, you know, like R&D. So you're picking your battles on what's the most important time management is huge. Like just this week, you could split all of us into two and it still probably wouldn't be enough. I did a bunch of design work through, you know, going through fusion and Craig came in and was like, hey, like, if anybody gets spare just a few minutes in kidding, we are, we can't sell parts if we don't have parts, yeah, get it and ready to go. And I was like, well, I'm going to go over there for a little bit. Yeah. Did that for a couple hours today. I ran the CNC for a bit like it. I have you're sitting here doing nothing. It's a you problem. Not a I remember a specific moment. This is probably two years ago now where I'm running around doing doing the install bay doing the doing the thing. Yeah. You guys are talking about just overwhelmed and we used to have this three o'clock stretch moment where we used to do some stretches in yoga for 10 minutes at three o'clock and zoom one time and walk up through the office. Zoom's like, Beau, why aren't you stretching? And I'm like, I don't have time. He looks at me. He goes, you don't have time for this. You're not managing your time well enough and time management is key. Oh, yeah. And you know, managing all that is just it you really got to develop the skill and once you develop the school, we all just become that much more efficient. Yeah. And it's, you know, it's right down to like the other day, Ryan just yesterday, Ryan's installing an LF3, LF4 fuel cam and a CTS in the shop and he pulls, you know, and then this is me. This is me being very transparent. He pulls it out and it's got some rust marks on it. He goes, Beau, like, you know, it's this field cam's rusty. I'm like, what's going on? And I'm like, well, these are OEM cams. We literally just press the, the fuel pump low bond. We just pressed it or lucked around. We just built and kitted these literally less than two weeks ago. And for whatever reason, when we put them in the box, they got some surface rest on them. So now instead of Ryan having to clean this single fuel can, he's going to install the engine, which is just light surface rust, but it's not something we want you to see when you open the box. Obviously. That's not a feeling that it's good for the customer. So now Ryan has to install this fuel cam and valve springs in the CTS, but I also dump 18 more L4 cams off and I say, clean them all. Yeah, there was a car, Ryan's like, I'm a machinist now. Yeah. Like, that's what we're about. Guys who can do their job and absorb everything else on top and keep moving forward. Yup. Just pile it on. So if you buy an L4 fuel cam, thank Ryan, hand polished, hand clean, hand oiled, we got a whole new process that we're moving forward with, you know, just we're learning every day. And, you know, it's crazy because the cams come in this special wax paper deal that, you know, the whole deal, but like they're on the shelf two weeks and form some surface rest, which we've seen from comp before too. It's a struggle. So we're going to, we got a new process that's going to be ironed out, but I'm going to, I'm going to cut you off there because we've got a little over 10 minutes, but I want to talk about, you know, up to this point, this year, customer cars, because we get, we get a lot of cars in and out of the shop and some of them really stand out. Some of them are special, whether it be, it looks cool or the owner's great or they make a lot of power. Yeah, they make a lot of power. Whatever it might be. I really just want to start today with Matt, I'm going to, what's your last name? Jen, Jen, Janikowski or something like that? Jankuski's. He brought us his 257 LSJ. We built him back in 2018, full, full build, you know, did the boost reference system, 257. I don't, I don't mean to cut you up, but it's not full build. It's like, yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a bolt on. It's a 257 full swap LSJ on a stock engine with a boost reference field system. Yeah. So he brings us the car. It's a beautiful silver LSJ, you know, Bo brings it in and he's like, Hey, you know, the guy's wondering about a head gasket leak possibly, but it's got a misfire. So we diagnosed the misfire. We upgrade them to stage two turbo cams. We get the car all sorted. It's ready to go. The first time I drove the car other than the misfire, I was like, Oh, this is, this is a good car. Like you just drive one and you're like, Oh, this is, yeah, this is good. It's, it's a healthy stock engine. The magic hasn't been let out yet. And so we get the turbo cams in it and I'd take it, you know, do a couple of data logs, get the fuel trims dialed in and he's like, all right, it's ready for the dyno. We throw it on the dyno. This thing. Made over. What? A 93 octane, 257 stock, long block, well, stock short lock, stage two turbo cams, made 425 wheel horsepower on 93 and only 21 pounds. Like that's not even this, there's, there's, there's nothing better than getting a car on the dyno and everything is good. Yeah. And just like, let me twist the knob, let me twist the knob, let me twist the knob. Keep on going up. And that's, that's one of the great causes of well-maintained, unfortunately, he didn't drive for long time. So you know what's wrong with it. But then he brought it back to us. He figured out very quickly and then we got the car and it's going to be better than he's ever ever in his life before. We're going to be able to ship this back to a, I think he's a local guy. Yeah. And he's going to love this thing. It's going to be a blast. And he's got, he's got opportunities to upgrade in different areas if he wants to make more power. But we could have made 500 wheel in the dyno today, but it's got enough 35 in it. So yeah. Yeah. And the stock bottom in. Stock bottom in. I'm not too worried about it. I understand. If it was minor Tyler's car, we would have known it. It would have made, but I was it's I would not recommend keeping it at 500 wheel. Well, it runs. But yeah, that it was, it was one of those cars where I was like, oh, I could turn this to 12 and this, it will take it and it's a good, yeah. So great car. I'd like to say though, I think is we're at a point where nine out of 10 cars we put together are like that. Oh, absolutely. And it's, it's something that I try, you know, I can't directly say to who ever I might be a remote tuning, you know, they put their car together and we got to work on some things. But it's, it's shocking the cars that we build that we touch from bottom to top. You know, we make sure all the bolts are turned. We make sure that all the vacuum lines are hooked up right. And they just work and they, they keep going and they work and it's, and it was the same thing with our terrorist car. That might have been late last year, might have been like November of 23, but it could have been into 24 close enough. But that was another car that like just talked about him. He trusted us to do everything. He said, give me a 500 wheel Saturn ion and I was like, yeah, sure. We put it together. I was like, here you go. He goes, let's do it. And I said, okay, that's what's cool about Matt's car today that Tyler's talking about is Matt 100% dropped the car off, says it needs a head gasket. And I'm like, all right, here's your estimate for a head gasket. But it's not going to be a head gasket. Here's your estimate for what I want to do. Let's put some diagram to the vehicle and figure out what's going on. And we got down into it and determined it wasn't a head gasket, determined what it needed. We ended up saving about half of what he wanted to spend, yeah, and gave him more than what he expected, so, and that's what we're here for. What a better outcome to think, okay, I got X amount of dollars set aside. I'm going to bring my car to the shop. They're going to fix it. It's going to run good. And then whoever sends back your estimate is like, hey, it's going to cost you half as much. Do you want to do the stage two camps? Yeah. And you're like, well, yeah. Already hadn't set aside. The money's fake already. It's gone. I made over a hundred wheel more than it made in 2018. Yeah. And so we've had a good eco tech in here. We've had some pretty good LTG. We've had some great LTG. All the LTG's, man. Yeah. TJ Malekip. I'm going to say, I think he's in there. He's in there. He's in there. Like TJ's car came and it's going through a lot of changes. Well, TJ's the common case of, let's do this, let's do this. Oh my gosh, we got a full monster on our hands. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, TJ's not even done yet, but, you know, in perfect example of customer cars, TJ cars came back. We were updating some things. You want to do the ox kit. I'm like, sure, let's get the ox kit on the car. I drive it home. We're communicating a little bit. He's like, I want to, he's like, I want to do the cat back. And I'm catching the vibe that TJ wants while it's here, he wants to make a little bang for his buck. And I'm like, sure, dude. I apologize because he was, he was mostly me and asked me about some specifics about the cat back. So I was like, yeah. I was straight up with him. I said, you know what, in my situation, the best thing I can do is treat your car as if it were mine. And here's what I would do next. And that is not a cat back. For TJ, as an example, that was, let's put a 327 diff in the car. And let's put this 430 wheel to the ground real well. Yeah. So guys, this is actually a pretty new thing that's kind of shows once again, the versatility that a different kind of car is to see, TJ's car is the only car we've seen come in with this diff because it is not a diff that comes in the L2. 286 rear-end in an ATS. Matt said he's tuning a couple. We personally haven't dealt with them a ton. I get, Matt makes it sound like they're kind of common, but definitely not a good gear ratio for a big turbo stage three cam, two-liter LTG in a 3400 pound Cadillac. I'll tell you that. If you had a 286 gear in a 3800, that is a grandma's naturally aspirated Bonaville. You can throw it out the trash. So when TJ had granted, the trans is different, but, you know, still, to anything below a 3.0 gear ratio is not well. So yeah, we had a 327 in the shop. We put it in the car and it's way better. It's way better. Way better. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. Oh my God. Why is my car different? Oh, and completely changed. And, you know, we worked through some other issues. We had a OEM ZL1 pump, not act cooperating well. Interesting. Fixed that. You know, the biggest thing I stress to all of our install customers is we're here to work with you. If you're here to work with us and the biggest thing you can do is just get the car here and let us figure it out, you know, and yeah, install and customer cars have been created this year. We've had a couple of killer 3,800s, yeah, that 40th NIC Cam build, Tom Newstats Monte Carlo. I think that is your favorite car, Tom Newstats, what about the ATSV we built in four days before Streetcar? Oh yeah, guys, we had a customer with a Coupe 17 car, the 16 car. It was a 16 car. - I got a two door hard top. - Two door hard top from Tennessee. - Georgia Tennessee, the same week, he was like, hey, if you guys get it done at the time, I'll come to Street Cartego with you. Hey, I'd like to show her something. - Yeah, you know what? He emailed me the Monday after Street Carte. You know why he didn't make it? He pulled out of here, he was bombing around, got a flat tire. - Oh, awesome. - And he's like, by the time I got my flat tire fixed, I was just, you know, I was just feeling stressed and decided to grab a room and whatever, but. - Wow. - Yeah, he comes up, drives up for Tennessee, we did a full 93 octane ATS. We used to kind of been our thing this year. - Yeah. - Like we've done more than-- - Three of 'em? Four of 'em? - Four of 'em? - Four of 'em, like fuel cam, 93 octane, full boltons, they make like 550 wheel, and you just run 93 octane into the thing, which is pretty cool. - Which is insane that a 93 car needs the fuel cam. - Yeah, like that-- - The stock ATSV needs the fuel cam. That's how under, like, that's probably why GM stopped it, 455, or whatever they claim. - On the dyno, they only make like 390 to 410. - Yeah. - But they're out of fuel system, immediately. - Yeah. - So the-- - So the fuel cam-- - You can throw that in. - The thing is, if you're working with us, I'll install the fuel cam for $800, and the fuel cam's 399, so. (laughing) - That 100 bucks, you're good. - So, fuel cam, we got all the 93 octane car we need, intake sound pipes, cat-back. You know, and I'm not gonna name drop, but the recent guy with the Coupe, he was super awesome. He was like, "What do I do with these parts?" And I was like, "Well, we're gonna have the cat-back down, "the trailing arms and the rear sway bar is right there, "and those are killer, he's like, let's do it." And, you know, it's really fun working on the ATSVs because we love ATSVs, and the power they make-- - Easy power. - Low mile, clean cars, and, you know-- - No rust, they're purpose-built race cars. - You get a rocket ship with bolt horns on those cars. Like, you ain't got nothing. - Oh, gosh. (indistinct) - I mean, yeah, and it's so cool that he can drop it off on a Monday, pick it up on a Thursday, and he's up 150 wheel, and he's got a valed cat-back system. Fresh alignment, like, tuned up. - That is the daily. - That is, that is, that's more than-- - You wanna go, be everyday that's comfortable? There you go. - You go gap pretty much everything you're gonna run up on? That's your same car. You ready to go to a car show? That's still your same car. Oh, look, you got the car. - Yeah, you got everything. It's the ATSVs, I mean, obviously, it's out of reach for a lot of people when it comes to budget in the initial purchase price, but for the dollar that you spend for the gains, is pretty much like LNF level. - Oh, yeah. - In terms of, I mean, just to intake down pipes, too, in like stage one kit, he's all 100 wheel. - Whole new car, like insane. - So, yeah, if you can afford an ATSV. - Yeah, we actually-- - Or a CTSV sport. - Or a CTSV sport. - And the LTG installs are really good. You know, I'm really feeling comfortable about where we're sitting at, with our short block program for the LTG. And we, just this year, I stepped up our, what we're doing to the cylinder heads, and got a little deeper into the recon stuff, on cylinder heads, and I'm feeling really good about that. We just learned some timing chain stuff this week. So, we're gonna be implementing some green guide stuff into the timing chains. If you're coming here, you're probably gonna get a new GM timing chain, and our green guides. - Green the world. - Green. - Going green. - Go on green. - Go on green. - Go on green. - Go on green, boys. - And, you know, I'll wrap up on this one, but we did, a customer of ours brought in, he bought a blown up 16 LTG from a friend. He totally dropped it off. Never driven the car in his life. He says, I wanna fix it, I wanna do full boltons. My only requirement is the stock turbo. I want a stock turbo. I was like, well, we can definitely do that. So, you know, we did the full four inch long block, stage two cams, all the boltons, stage one kit, stage two kit. He says, I'm gonna take it home, I'm gonna put some wheels and tires on the car, I'm gonna enjoy it. He had it home for seven days and emailed me. He goes, I need the bigger turbo. He goes, give me the big one. - He goes, I need the big one. - I need the big one, and I need the ox kit. And I said, yes, you do. - Yes, you do. - So, we were-- - Big one. - We're gonna do it about a night. - That's basically what he said too, and I was like, well, I got a heavy foot. - You're a foot, a place of pieces. - You know, here I am, I'm like, I really wanted to do it while it was here, brother. (laughing) - Like, this would've been easier on you and me, but like, we'll do it twice, whatever. So he's coming back and, you know, it's addicting, you know? You get these cars and these parts working. - And when they just work, it's so hard not to be like, well, I mean, just turn that knob into the car. - We call that butt horsepower power creep, 'cause you get something, man, it's a great car. It's great, it's a little bingo stuff. Well-- - Might as well. - Might as well when you're in there. - Give me some more. Classic while you're in there. - Classic, he was looking at some other turbos that were around the $2,400 mark, and I'm like, dude, you're spent $2,400, maybe you're $7,163 like right now, and this is gonna be all 11 second caddy. Yeah. (laughing) - That's cool. - Easy. - Easy mode. - So, and he's like 11's. I used to drag race back in the day, and I had, you know, this, this and that, they ran 11, and I'm like, well, this is gonna do it, and it'll get you to work. - Yeah. - And it'll get you to work every day. - A.C. and Crucichote. - And Carplay, like, you know, all that. - All that stuff. - So, we're at five, I wanna just grab on one more topic before we depart here. Our LE2 development. - Oh, yeah. - So, it's hot and heavy in the background for guys. - LE2 is the second gen Chevy Cruc. It was, we didn't ignore it, we just didn't have one here for a while. - Now we have three. - Now we have three. We have a manual, we have-- - No, wait, I'm sorry, we have four. - Oh, yeah, you're right. - We have a sedan, we have two sedans, a manual, the auto sedan, the manual sedan, and two orange hats back. - Yup. So, now we have four in the shop, which means we are in it. We are here for it. We already have, we started working on this car a year ago, and we already have a production larger turbo in the works. It's, it's, things are getting cast, it's gonna be ready, that timeline in itself, outside of all the other products, isn't said. But we have a cold air intake, we have a downpipe, we have a mid-pipe, we have a cat back, we have an intercooler kit, we got a flex-fuel kit. - That intercooler kit. - That intercooler kit. - Literally went through everyone at this table. I printed the intakes for that multiple time. I printed the air box for it, multiple times. Scanned, 3D printed, made models, got things cast, got things best. - Put on, put on the, put on the, on the cars. - Yeah. - Driven. - Do an install video. - Install video. - Like, it's, it's such a departure because we are so focused in that. And that's what's really awesome. And, you know, Matt just said it yesterday. He's like, when we go all in on this engine, on this platform, it's going to be faster than the first gen one fours. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Easily. - Mm-hmm. - And it's a killer engine right off the bat. - Like, gear in. - Yep. - Direct injection goodness, boy. - That one, that one, that one is moving along surprisingly well. - So, and we get that. We get that a lot like the, you know, maybe call it the LTG or the 3800 at these phases. You're kind of knocking down a lot of barriers and you're, you're, you're, you're working and you feel like you're spinning your tires a little bit on development. And then you just pick up something like the gen two, Ellie two. And it's just like bang, bang, bang, bang. And like this engine is happy. - And we've applied everything that we've learned over the various platforms. - Maybe, maybe that's what it is. - Yeah. - Maybe our development process is getting more dialed. - We're dialed in the development process a little bit. - I just drove the, I drove the manual gen two home and I, I was really nice every 'cause I had a snow car I stayed here overnight. I put in the garage. It was like the night, that's a nice, that car's probably ever been treated. - I drove it at the beginning of the week and I did not. (laughing) - But I was like, okay, you know, it's very commuter car stuff like that. But then I kind of got, I'm like, this is surprising. - Yeah. - Like stock for stock two for tune, it is definitely faster than a gen one car. - Oh, yeah. - Like if you like stock, if you take a stock cruise, a gen one to gen two, you put just a tune on and like a waste gate, the gen two is gapping at things. - Well, that's why I love is you guys who are like, hey, I need to drive a car home tonight. And I purposely put you in that gen two, like for these reasons. - Yeah. - So that when somebody calls and Ryan will be like, I know all about this car. I've driven this car. - I've driven this car. - It's great. - Yeah. - But yeah, so we got, we got big turbo in the works. We got foul springs, we got cams. We've got like the whole catalog is just falling into place. And it's so great that we've been able to take everything that we've learned on all the other platforms. And it's, it's kind of like a baby LTG. - It is just like a baby LTG. - Yeah. - But it doesn't blow up. - You're like, yeah, wait a minute. - You took the front cover off and you're like, - That's the same. - Did you, did you, did you times by point seven? - Yeah. - And this is, this is-- - They put it in a photo shop and they went. - You just dropped it down 30%. - It's no baby guy. And then, you know, what's awesome too, is how reliable it's been. The fuel system's gone far. Tim's tuning a ton of them, it sounds like. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's always time up. - It is insane. - The wastegate seems to be a super killer mod. - Big mod. - That's coming. - Yeah, it's, we already have a few test ones out there. The only one that's on there now, it's, it's amazing. - We can't afford to drive on a stock fuel system. - That's nutty. - That's pretty silly. - That's like, no other platform car we have. - And not even stock fuels, they're not even stock turbo. We've taken big turbo stock fuel system fully, you find? - Yeah. - Which is phenomenal. - They basically made well, well over 200 wheel on stock fuel system with E85. No math, no, which one tarnished. - Rigamer roll, you know. But yeah, so that's a killer platform. - Mike, I'm gonna need a sound bite of that. 38, I can't even do that. (laughing) - I'll be honest, you put 30, you put E85 in a stock fuel system 3800, it's not gonna make over 200 wheels. - And the fuel pump goes. - You don't have gots no pressure no more. Do you? - Do you have the world? - Yeah, yeah, I will give it to Ryan on this. - You do it, that's freaking good. - Go, the future is here boys! - But I'm super pumped about that platform. I'm excited for our customers to start buying them. Preston has one now, we've got suspension mods, we've got brake mods, we've got everything. - The best thing about-- - And we've got more coming up. - The best thing about that Gen 2 is it's much more refined. You feel like you're in a nicer car 'cause it is a nicer car. - The car is better, way better. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It turns a little better, what? - Then the first 10 cars. - Dude, dude, you sit. - See, I like the interior more. - You drive seats from your home and you drive beauty home. - Okay. - All right, well, big difference. - I did drive the base model, the bank, you know. - Yeah, that one's rental car spec. - Yeah, like, I'm a little-- - So, I don't think it's that bad still. I mean, if you get over the clock. - I think the gauge custom stuff's a little boring, but by the way, that stuff mods can't fit. - Exactly. - That's not for me. The gauge cluster in the Gen 2's just doesn't-- - Yeah, it hurts. - Give me fizzly bits. - Yeah, that's fair. I understand that. - I gotta hurt start it. - But I can plug my iPhone in and have the music coming. - That's true. - That's all I need. - That is the important part. - That's all I need. - All right. - Anywho. - So, what are we-- - We're 508. - 508. Dang. - I know you wanna keep going. - It's actually called the ZCE2 power hour. - We power two hours. - We wanna get going on way many more things, but I've got a dinner date to get to tonight, so-- - It's your anniversary! - It is. - Yeah. - It's not. I mean, Tyler going out. - Yeah, we're going to Bodeys or something. - I'm going to Bodeys. - I thought it was-- You're lying to me. You're lying to me. Don't lie to me. Don't put me out there. - All right, I'll start with you, Ryan. What you doing this week? - Man, I got, for Father's Day, I got a Surface Washboard. I really, really wanna use it and clean some stuff out. - Nothing better than power washing some things. - Big dad. - I really want to. Like, if it's nice weekend, stuff's getting proper. - Are you gonna flip Snowballed over in Washington? - No! If I had a date, get it. - Just get a Rook's history and then drop his flipper. - Whoo! Don't tempt me. Yeah, so enough of big plans. We got to kind of do some house stuff, lame stuff, really, but I found out today that my license plate light bulb, the wire came out, is hanging underneath the car right now. I'm like, yeah, that sucks to get to, so I'm gonna try to figure that out this weekend. - It's pretty easy. - It's the two Torx, and then you reach up in there, and then grab it, and then you put it back in. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, that's power parts still in there. It's just the, it's just the moment of thing, it's there. It's just, I'm getting it. It's gonna be, I gotta have to play. - Oh, you don't have to take a plate. Just come in back there, so. - Little small hands on it. - Oh yeah, take baby hands on it. - Well, you gotta go to your anniversary, so you're not gonna be able to use for fun. - Show understanding. - Deal. - How do you like it? - I was putting a plate light in the Snowball. - Yeah, pretty much. - Randy, what about you? - Oh, sorry. - No, you're good, no, that's it. I'm doing end decision. - I'm gonna try to do as little as possible, just because the last weekends have been so stinking full. I don't know, just garage cleanup stuff, probably, you know, play a little sim stuff, play a play online with Paul a little bit. - Sounds fun. - You know, I'll just try to chill out for a weekend, would be cool. I don't know if it'll actually happen. - I will say, if I do get the license plate light on too, and I'm gonna try to call people, 'cause I got the underglows on the Snowball right now. I wanna underground, like, need for speed, underground crews this weekend. (humming) You know, I wanna go out kind of acting like a fool. - I could be down for some acting bad. - Yeah, I don't have a cool car, but I'll drive you on court. - Incorrect, drive you on court. - L.S.C. goes. (humming) - Yeah, it does have a cam. - Hey, I have cams too. - You got cams too. - We try to see car. - Oh, at this table have cams, let's go. - No, he doesn't. - One nine rockers, you're fine, you're good. - He only has one cam. - Just the one. - And it's stock, so. - We have one nine rockers, baby cam. - I don't have one. - You need an address. - You took the N9 rockers off the car? - I've been stock long-bound for a year now. - What? Yeah. - Yeah. - Who are you? - I put together the stock deal for Taylor Dragon last year, and it's just been still ripping. - Yeah. - It is a stock. - That's okay, the week before the Dragon, we'll call that engine out, we'll do some stuff. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was my plan. (laughing) - That's crazy. (laughing) - Tyler, what you got? - I love it. - All right, so tonight is my five year anniversary with Erika, my lovely wife. So we are gonna go have dinner, and then we're gonna have drinks, and then probably end up at Bob's. - Yeah, you end up at Bob's. (laughing) - Yeah, when Tyler ends up at Bob's, I'll end up at Bob's. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so. So if anybody wants to come out to Bob's bar and-- - Don't dare me, please. - I don't need to spend more money today. - I know, I don't need to spend more money today. - Pass that. Tomorrow, I am mowing the lawn because it has been two or three weeks, and that thing is looking like Donny Thornberry, which I know you all know everything about right now. (laughing) It's super dry, so, you know. - Yeah. - You couldn't, oh yeah, yeah. - And then I'm working on a Ford Fusion tomorrow night. - What? - You know all of those can work on around. - Yeah. - Weird. - Weird. - Then hopefully relaxing a little bit. - No. - Fourth of July weekend is gonna be insane. - Yeah, that's the way we're on weekends. - Yeah, we gotta heads up, anybody, if you care. Next week, three-day week for easy performance. - Yes, please, thank you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Shout out to our Hot and Heavy customer service. They're not gonna be here Thursday or Friday. - Yup. (laughing) - Don't, don't, you know me? - Thursday or Friday, don't do it. I'm not answering. - It is America's birthday, and we are gonna be doing American things. - We're gonna be drinking Miller Hot Life soon. - I heard my margarita set up already ready to go. You not email or message me? I'm not answering, I love your cards. Not on those days, I don't. You got me Monday through Wednesday, boys. - He's got the salted rim ready. - The salted, I bought the margarita salt. If you mess me, you are gonna get a salty response back. (laughing) - Oh, yeah. - Anyway, but what are you doing? - Oh, this weekend? - Shoot. - He's got a new cat. - Guys, by the way, our service team will not be here next week. However, you're still good, so you know, it's their first place. - Ryan, Ryan, Klein will be here. - Ryan, well, yes. - That dude holds down the fort, no matter what. - Yeah, Ryan, Klein will be here, bow or not. I, you know, for any stuff like that, I'm both mini step in for a little bit for a few days, but before that, you know, we're gonna give this man a vacation. He's dealing with y'all, y'all crazy mofos. - Yeah, I took advantage of next week and took the rest of the week off, besides 4th of July, and we're heading to Silver Lake tomorrow. So we'll be in the dunes and on Silver Lake for seven days. - I won't hear from Bo. Bo's gonna come back this color? - Yeah, better than an MF or but. - No, red, burnt, both will come back burnt, drunk, or in all the above. - I will be checking my email for emergencies, but, other than that, nothing else. - Gonna have to grab us for Monday through Wednesday. - Correct, correct, boys and girls. - Yeah, thanks everyone for joining us. - Absolutely, guys. - It's been a pleasure to be here. - Yeah, we love the power hour. We're glad that you got in. Thanks for coming in the chat, arcane, Bill Kish, TJ. - Bill Kish. - Moorsen, Dan North, literally everybody. Thanks for coming out.
