Default RPM Motors Rescued Me!

The 2007 Z with 13k miles started to get loud under the hood at idle, so then we got concerned. Contacted RPM Motors a while ago. Speaking with Charlie for a few mins and not difficult to see he is the real deal! With a business background with hardcore engine components, electric motors his knowledge runs deep! The Corvetts go with NHRA, SCCA, Stock Cars in the Midwest in his background. The shop is just as impressive. If you need it done yesterday you might need to chill cause there are tons of loyal customers that are looking to get the same love that your Vette needs too. The end result is a legal, pleasure to drive daily driver, street weapon of defense against those pesky Turbos. Has the manners of a stock Honda in bumper to bumper. The bucking and surging at low speeds is gone. Stock cam, solid SST exhaust valves, springs and Trunion conversion in rockers. Bump the comp. Comp valve job. Polished chambers , port matched head to intake. TB polish, CAI. Dyno tune. 504 at the rear wheels. Nice TQ curve, very useable, as long as you don't blow off the rears in the 1-2 gears. Total pleasure to own and drive again after the TLC package from RPM. 110 Persent pleased. I told Charlie he might be better to answer the technical stuff. So come on in the waters just fine. This is how I wished the car ran when it came from bowling green. Well done RPM. Cheers to all, John.

With less compression, porting and polishing Charlie's tuning on my 07 Z06 has ~30 fewer rwhp, and also runs beautifully without surging. He's maintained mine in great shape for 7 years and 77,700 thrilling miles.

You are going to be an animal in ULTIMITE Class

Assume you got SS valves, etc. Did you ever check in on the thread that keeps track of all the guys doing their heads up right?

See you out there soon
