Hey thanks brother. I appreciate you all right, so we didn't want to do a burnout with these real grippy tires that will push the front wheels will just kind of skid, so we got some older uh nt555 g2s we're gon na be running for the wedding burnout. You know i got ta roll nitto, i'm a wedding burnout got the c7 we're gon na throw these c5z wheels on, let her in what do you think about that? Why not? Yes - oh i'm, pretty fired up about that. I was wondering if you're gon na do a burnout or not.

No, i was wondering when and where you're gon na be yeah we might get kicked out. So we kind of need to wait till later, like a nascar pit, stop in the wedding parking lot, we gon na get it right honestly, not as ugly as i thought it'd be it blends right in dude yeah as bad as i thought it would be all Right cool we're good, i could probably drive home on it. Whoa dude, never even seen you looking this good yeah. I know talking about looking good yeah, oh practice for an hour, we're walking on thin ice.

As of now, no more tests burned out not exactly a racetrack, obviously kind of at a nice place. So we got to time this right can't drink, but don't want to wait too long, but also want to wait long enough, so that if we do get kicked out because of it you know we got to calculate. We already had a good time yeah. I hear you so cause i can't drain and then do it right now.

You know what i mean. That's just dangerous, there's gon na be a lot of people around once the burnout's done. Then we can party and have fun, but hopefully we don't get kicked out. So you'll be with us tonight.

Maddie knows about this, we'll see how it goes down. What they also do, too is get management outside. If they start saying we're going to kick us out, we just run inside and lock them word is management leaves at 7pm. We may be dialed, so we got ta wait around seven 707..
All right guys. I got all the boys knives kershaws. Look at that. Let me see yours partner.

Look at how sharp this thing is, dr mitchell, my alter ego all right guys. I figured i'd start this video off in the c7, like an og cletus mcfarlane youtube channel video way back in the day. Only those of you who were around for a very long time remember this style video. Basically you guys when i started the channel.

This was the only car i had and i would make tons of videos where i started off just driving around in the c7 talking and coming up with. Whatever idea, i could come up with on that day and i'm just setting up some gopros now we're gon na go to the shop and see the new floors all right. Let's start this thing up. Listen to that dude! I'm gon na show you guys some stuff under the hood of the c72 here in a minute, spicy! Listen to how clean this thing idles! It runs absolutely perfect, all right so guys when we get to the shop, i'm going to show you a couple things that have changed on the c7 as you know it basically for you guys, we don't know.

This is my 2015 corvette c7 stingray that i got originally before i had the youtube channel. When i worked for 1320 video - and i started the channel pretty much based on this car and i used to drive it all the time i used to daily drive it. It's got a pro charger, centrifugal supercharger on it and it lasted forever. The stock engine did so good and then, when i bought the freedom factory, we shot a video introducing the track and funny enough.

My boy nate, dr tunamall, did a big burnout in it, which i asked him to do because we were shooting the intro video had to be epic. He did a huge burnout in it and blew the coolant tank. It was literally a humongous burnout. I don't even know if i have the footage anymore, but essentially we ended up spinning a rod bearing that day, and that was the death of the stock engine.

So now it's got a texas speed, 427 in it, and ever since the car blew up originally, it has been so problematic. I mean driving down the road and fuel lines breaking. Luckily, you didn't have a fire fuel pumps, failing high pressure fuel pumps, failing because this is an lt engine, it was undrivable, it would not idle at stop lights, it would stall at stop lights pretty much any time you rev the engine and then let off it Would stall there seemed to be no end to the problems that i was having with the car. At one point, we even had to send the engine back to speed because we tried to prototype stuff that didn't work out, but that's irrelevant other than that.

It's been tuned problems, we put the oil cooler in a terrible spot. That was a problem, but we never got the car right and two months ago i got so fed up with the c7. I tried to drive it to dinner with maddie and i got so fed up with it. I said screw it, i'm sending this thing to the best lt shop in the country which, in my opinion, is cortez performance.
So i hit up my buddy joe, the owner. I sent the car all the way to arizona and i got it back now and i'm pretty sure it is the best tuned car i've ever driven. This car drives like completely stock, but makes over a thousand horsepower on pump gas and can accelerate like this. But i'll tell you what, before i send this thing out to cordes performance.

If i did one pull, this thing, would overheat one pull and it's not that they changed the radiator or the oil cooler or anything like that? They just relocated some stuff and notched out. Some parts of the car that we never thought of, but because they work on stingray corvettes all the time they knew all the tricks and they got this thing. Freaking dialed in now you look at the c7 back to back pulls 180 degree, coolant and watch this. This is what really gets me in a car like this, with a big aftermarket supercharger a lot of times the buck at idle, like rolling through a parking lot check this out, i can rev the car up comes down to idle perfectly off the throttle, puts off The throttle perfectly down to idle every time before you had to kind of catch it and then rest it down to a really low idle watch.

This first gear, no foot on the gas just let off the clutch car drives away, no bucking, nothing like that shift. Second same thing: car drives perfect shift. Third, i mean you don't get this in high performance cars unless someone sits in the car and tunes it for hours we're in fourth gear now i could probably go to fifth at idle. It's idling, the car is insane now dude it works.

It drives so good all right we're here at the shop, though, let's go look at the floors and then i'll show you what's under the hood. What's new, all right guys, you can see we got a little bit of a small disaster going on out here outside the shop. I'm gon na walk you through this process right here we have grinded up concrete. These guys were in here grinding, concrete and vacuuming up.

This concrete dust for days just getting the floor level, filling the cracks and making sure the surface was ready for the epoxy. All these bags all those bags and then after they got the whole shop floor, prepped, which you can see she's looking dialed. They went ahead and used this credis top shelf epoxy. This is the base coat, so you can see it's a nice light gray.

You guys know i like the grades, this stuff bonds, the concrete gives you your base layer and then so you over yonder. We got a heavy flake coverage on the floors here. There was about 900 pounds of this flake that went down on the shop floor and it's a full coverage flake. So the reason i did that is, i did the shops personally with jeremy at our shop in clearwater and we did no flake.

We just did epoxy with the top coat on it and it was so slippery if it was raining and you didn't have the right shoes on you would fall in the shop. It was definitely a slipping hazard. It was so smooth, it looked good, but it was so smooth. I mean any water, it was super slick and it rains every day in the summer here.
So i went with a textured floor because i wanted to be safe for the guys and also the cars. Won't slide around and then being that it's flake it doesn't show as much crap. You know if there's a little bit of dirt - and you know things like that on the floor, you can't see it immediately. It looks just a little bit better and then, after this goes down over yonder, you guys won't believe this.

One of these five gallon buckets costs six to seven hundred dollars, so this is poly spartak top coat, so you got part a there part b here, and this is what goes on top. So this is a protective layer. This is all still wet because he's applying it right now, but this is a top layer that goes on keeps the floor from yellowing makes it so it's not susceptible to chemicals, because obviously we're going to be spilling oils things like that, but it protects the floors From pretty much anything super expensive, but worth it because you know you know how these guys are one day it could be methanol on the ground. The next day could be oil, the next day, diff oil - i mean you just don't know so we got the best of the best as far as that goes.

The materials for this job alone were like 14, 000, so pretty expensive for just the materials. But it's coming out great. This is your little preview until it's all finished up can't wait to show you guys the final product now it seems like we need some better lighting in here all right guys. So taking a look at the outside of the c7 everything's the same here, we have the cordes performance sticker small little addition to what they did.

That's their first thing that they changed those they put that sticker on all right check it out under the hood. You can see over here we got a brand new charge pipe, so they fabbed up a whole new charge pipe because one of the biggest problems we had was. The mass air flow sensor was up front on the procharger kit. There's a tube up here for the air, water, intercooler and the charge pipe runs along the front of the car.

Well, this mass air flow sensor being so far up in the front of the car and so far away from the throttle body was giving them a lot of trouble tuning it and that's just something we would have never known. But these guys knew it needed to be up near the throttle body, not to mention we kind of had a ghetto methanol system and they definitely went ahead and tidied up the methanol system. Now we have a metal charge pipe right here. They went ahead and installed it right in the pipe we had these in the boots.

I'm not gon na lie that was kind of ghetto. We were also having issues with the c7 having too much blow-by with the big 427. We added more catch cans, but that didn't do it. We still do have a bigger catch can right here from cordes, but we also have motion.
Raceworks lt valve covers see the little cleats logo right there dude and those things work, so damn good haven't had to empty the catch. Cam been doing lots of poles she's running dialed in now, and then on top of that we have a corded performance, overflow tank for the radiator, which the stock one of these exploded in this car. You know with so much heat under the hood plastic stuff. Just was not working for us, so we're going to switch that out and then over here we had no real intake on this thing.

I mean we, we kind of fabbed one up, but it wasn't really the best situation, so guys, of course, went ahead and made this pipe got a big old air filter on here. Now we're running no filter kind of sketchy and this filter will actually allow the car to suck in as much air as it needs, and then we can actually pull that pipe off if we're racing it at the drag strip or something. I really don't dig the fact that the radiator fan just blows hot air right into the procharger. If you don't run one of those, the one we had kind of sucked too.

So i'm really happy cordez made a cold air intake. It's not really cold air intake, but it's a at least away from the radiator itself. And then i don't know how much time their tuner spent on tuning this car. But what you should do is go over to the cordes youtube channel, which is linked in the description below and watch the video from when they got the car and just listened to it idle, and then they showed after they tuned it and listened to it idle.

Then the difference is insane. These guys spent so much time. Getting this thing right and you can just tell it was done by a professional. Let me start her up, get it fired up for you guys everything is sounding so much better.

So much happier, i'm so excited guys so happy to have my ripper back. Everything works also guys. That is most definitely not a complete list of what cordes did to the car there's also a totally different pro charger bracket on the car. I was already having some belt issues because it was misaligned they fixed.

All of that, really you got to go over their youtube channel to see the entire process of what they do to get this thing right, but it is actually truly right now to be honest with how many problems the c7 has had, i had only driven the Thing about 50 miles in the last two years until i got it back, so i was so skeptical that the car was not gon na break on me when i drove it that i didn't make any videos about it. I drove it for about three weeks now. I've had it back and it has not given me a single problem. That's why it is so easy for me to promote cortez right now, because they did such a freaking rock solid job shipped the car back, and it's just been amazing.
So i'm just i'm really happy with it guys. I really am. After all, this car is what started the channel. I mean it's, it was there for us in the beginning for those of you who have written out this last five years.

You know this car was the only thing i could make content off of. I made some of my worst videos with it turbo whistles and the exhaust. I mean that content, not very good, but hey. It got me to where i am today, so i got ta.

I got ta leave it posted and i mean really it does sound amazing to me sounds so cool looks amazing. It's a great car so pumped to have it back shout out to my boys at cordes performance. I'm ended off there guys thanks for watching uberdale, we'll freakin see you later, hey guys. I also want to shout out the guy who's doing the epoxy.

His name is nick he's based in texas. If you need something hit him up, just shout him out, because he did the job by himself and it was a big job. So that is his email. You.

    Go with LED shop lights. Not sure how the cameras interact with them but, I love LED’s. Took out my old fluorescent tubes and just changed over to the LED’s in my standard “two car” garage at my house and love them. Some shops I have worked at switched to them from the old style bulbs like what you had at the Freedom Factory and their shops went from being a dungeon to a beautifully lit shop.

    Super happy for you. I know it must feel good to get your OG car running like a top. I'm trying to get my C7 going again its pro-charged but made a little more boost than what we were looking for with 93. Meth kit is sitting at the shop and cam and other valvetrain is on order from TSP! I'm hoping to have mine going again in Feb.
