Review №1

They had the best prices and availability on quality parts such as A.I. heads, B3 cam, 2 ARH headers. Piece by piece I ended up buying from RPM after looking at the options on the internet. Im very satisfied and also glad they are the top shop I thought they were from seeing their videos. You cant go wrong here.

I have owned many cars and have dealt with many shops over the years. My experience with RPM was better then I could even imagine. They took amazing care of my ZR1 and the results speak for them self. Bill was great keeping me up to date with everything. The pricing was great for the A+ work I received. They did have a decent appointment wait time, but I would wait much longer if needed for this kind of quality. Thanks again to Eric for his work on my car and to Fran for really dialing it in with the tune. This will be the only shop I bring my corvettes to in the future.

By far the best money I have spent on my C7. Bill didnt try to over sale me on things I didnt need and kept in touch with me every step of the build. The wait time is worth it, They did a full motor build in a week!!!! I liked the shop before sending my car to them but now I love them!!! Cant recommend Fran and the guys enough to anyone thats considering having their car worked on.

Had their stage 3 package (heads, cam, headers, and tune) installed on my C6 Z06 almost a year ago. Car still runs great with no problems whatsoever. They do great work. I highly recommend. this shop. Also get to see your car on their youtube channel as a nice plus.

Hands down the best shop for information on parts and getting work done. I ordered an exhaust with RPM they had the lowest price and included free shipping. The exhaust shipped same day it was order and arrived at my door step in less then 24hrs from when it was ordered. Bill from RPM was a big help, I definitely would suggest calling them with any questions or using the website to order parts the shops staff is extremely friendly and didn’t rush me off the phone even though they’re extremely busy and as a consumer I appreciate that from a shop definitely will be contacting them about motor workThank you RPM for the amazing customer service you have provided

The quality of work and service was A+. One of the best experiences with Auto shop. The turn around time was incredible, I was provide a timeframe and they exceed that. They are very knowledgeable and helpful with any concerns or questions that I had. The finish product of my ZR1 build exceeded my expectations and is outstanding. If your on the east coast or in U.S period and want a LS/LT shop that knows what that are doing, this place is a must.

Took my Chevrolet SS to get a dyno tune and headers. Initially very happy with work done, but about a week later my exhaust was falling off. They had failed to tighten the nuts and apply the locking mechanism holding the header to the cats. I figured a simple install like headers could be completed thoroughly, but didn’t seem to be a priority to them. The owner was very rude when I brought this up, but did send me some replacement bolts through Amazon. Wouldn’t give my business again.

Great communication and fast shipping. Ordered parts that were out of stock elsewhere but RPM had them in stock and shipped them out that day. Highly recommend.

This is my second time bringing my Z06 to RPM. They are the best of the best in the country when it comes to Vettes and Camaros. Always a pleasure speaking with Bill about the upgrades and work I want done on my car. Very professional on what they do thank you Angry Eric for the killer work on my car.

RaceProvenMotorsports is seriously the best shop in the USA. They are honest, fair, reliable and make killer power. I’ve owned a handful of LS cars and I currently own a VY C6Z and I can firmly tell you that everyone in RPM knows their stuff.

Review №14

No, this is an excellent run shop! Ignore any whinners, if eBay had a seller with 10,000 positives, you going to avoid them if there are 10 negatives? So with that said, I have high expectations when I deal with a shop, I also know this field of work and what should be done, Mike and others always did over an above, by their promises and their workmanship! I trust them without hesitation!

Great shop! I wouldnt take my Corvette Z06 anywhere else for performance upgrades or tuning. Had the cylinder heads replaced and the car tuned and gained 92hp to the wheels. The car drives better than ever!

Review №16

Race Proven Motorsports is the best performance shop for any late model GM vehicles (Corvettes, Camaros, Chevy SS etc.). Their work and attention to detail is amazing and can not be touched by anyone else. If you want a well built, reliable & fast vehicle RPM is who you need to go to. These guys know their stuff. The staff at RPM is great. Bill will get you set up with what ever you need for your build. He is extremely professional and honest. There was a couple times I had asked for his opinion on doing certain things and he told me wether it was worth doing or not. He could have easily sold me parts that I didnt truly need just to sell them to me like most companies would but he did not. Fran the one who tunes the vehicles does an amazing job and dials the vehicles in perfectly. I would put his tunes against anyones. He will not over power the vehicle just to hit a dyno number and jeopardize the health of the engine or your safety. I have gotten on my car numerous times run after run after run and the car never has any issues with running, overheating etc. The Tech’s Matt, Eric & Andrew are all super nice and treat your car even better than if it was their own. Your vehicle is in the best of hands with RPM and never left outside. Their media guy Steve has some ridiculous skills when it comes to taking pictures of the builds and creating awesome videos and content for social media and Youtube so you can watch your build. He does a lot more than just that also. This is the second time I brought my car into RPM. The first time was for a full exhaust system and the second time was for heads, cam, piston & rods, intake, throttle body, E85, gauge and clutch. Matt did the work both times and did an amazing job. They use nothing but the best parts. Their prices are extremely reasonably for the quality of work that you can not get at any other shop. You do have to wait a few months typically for your appointment because they are so booked out but that should tell you something. It is worth the wait. Looking forward to bringing my 2016 Camaro SS back very soon to put a Procharger on it. These guys are the real deal!

Review №17

Called last week. Phone call lasted about 13 seconds. I began explaining I had my car built and it was having a few issues and I was calling to give a run down and explain what’s going on and that I was looking to change shops I use. Before I could even say what kind of car it was, what was wrong with it, anything at all. The guy says “oh, ya you’re going to have to write and email for something like that we don’t do other people’s builds here.”I get it if I was bringing them a car in peices. But the car is put together runs and drives fine. I just want it retuned and 99% sure I’m having an issue blowing out spark not giving me the full potential of the car. That’s all. If he would have even listened to me he would know that.I have never written a review of any place in my entire life. It was the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. So basically don’t go here unless your car is bone stock “they don’t touch other peoples builds”. Gladly take my business elsewhere.

This place is way overpriced. Some of the quotes I got were unbelievable. I wouldnt trust the owner with changing the oil on my beater car. After doing some research on this place you can see there have been multiple lawsuits against them over the years and the owner is doing shady things to make money on the side.

Review №21

Race Proven Motorsports goes above and beyond the Gold Standard when it comes to how a specialty shop should be run. My entire experience with Bill and the rest of the team there was second to none and I couldnt be happier as a customer. If you are looking for a shop that is transparent, outputs consistent performance numbers and provides excellent communication to their customers, this is the shop for you. Looking forward to sending my C6Z back to continue the build. Thanks for everything guys.

Review №33

Owner is one of the rudest, arrogant person I ever meet. I tried to setup appointment for a cam on my cousins C6 vette before he got back from his deployment as a gift and they kept saying they had no time for such a small job. I knew it was a lie because my other friend use them for CTSV 3 weeks later. What’s funny is I know the owner needs the work, every week he posts raffles of ATV and dirt bikes on his Facebook page to raise money. Just too lazy to do a small job I guess all the debt they are in, 1200 dollars won’t do much huh

Review №34

Raceprovenmotorsports has to be the best company I have ever dealt with in person, bill is extremely professional and honest. He never pressured me into upgrading parts or spending more money than I had to. After they started working on the car I made a few request on uprgrading parts and he gave me his honest opinion on whether it was worth upgrading or not. He could have easily sold me the most expensive parts just to try and make money like most companies do. I’ve dealt with a few different companies and I can honestly say the guys at rpm take pride in their work and not to mention it’s a small business with a tightnit group. They take care of the cars when they are in their possession and your car is never left outside at night. As long as I own a gm I will always be a customer of RPM.

Took my car to every mechanic I could, spent hundreds and none could diagnose and/or fix the issue (power loss). Dropped it off to RPM and had it back two days later with an extra 100 hp... turns out it was a clogged catalytic converter. After they tuned it runs better than ever. Highly recommend!!

So I just want to add to anyone else looking that the customer service cant be better. Only way things could have happened faster or with more precision is if I were standing in the store.

Review №42

I took an LS engine Chevy to RPM for some minor performance upgrades, about $3k total. This is a small job, I get it and I know Im not spending a fortune like other clients. However, the car was there for 6 months with little to no update. The first time I picked it up it did not run correctly and I had to return it. After an angry phone call on my part the car was fixed 100% within a week and ran and drive great. I get the feeling these guys are over-booked and dont much care for small jobs. Thats ok but I wish they would have told me that. 3 stars because the work was eventually done correctly. I should probably only give 2 though.Great response rather than tackling the issue at hand. Should revise down to 1 star for that response. I dealt with Bill there who had a Pontiac G8 and you guys showed me a Tahoe with a 454 engine swap when I was in the shop. I most certainly have the correct company because I was at your shop 4 times in all. You also worked on my buddys C6 Z06 Vette.

Review №45

RPM did their heads/cam package along with a ported MSD manifold and a couple other things on my z06 last year. They kept me updated throughout the process and sent me some good pics. The car still runs amazing after a few thousand miles, never had to fix/readjust anything. After doing research on a bunch of shops on the east coast, I found that they’ll likely get you the most power out of your LS car for lowest price, like 5k less than vette shops in NY. I am beyond OCD with my car, and everything came back pretty much perfect (no scratches of scuffs/ no loose or missing parts). I would recommend or bring other cars back in the future.

Review №47

I dealt with Fran and Bill on purchasing a used motor from them. I gave them a deposit of 4000 to purchase the engine for 10000. The motor was still in the car, some time went by and I could not purchase the engine. When I tried to contact Fran or Bill they avoided my calls. So needless to say they kept my 4000 and never tried to make this right. SO BEWARE. You guys have my info and know how to contact me,

My experience with RPM was an amazing one. I started following them on You Tube and learned so much from them; as well, as seeing how much these guys care and work hard for their customers. I chose to get their cam package done on my Camaro and will say I am very pleased with the results. I will definatly be going back to RPM to add to my build in the near future. Thank you Eric for the great work on my car and thank you Steve, Bill and Fran for the great service you provided. Thank you, Matt and Sean for the fun on the baseline Dyno. Excellent work from a very satisfied customer!

Fran is a great tuner, all around i recommend this shop, I take my cars there, they are kinda expensive but worth it .. only “issue” I had was that they (camera man and Fran) judged my 09 Z06 build and some of the parts I had on there on film

This place did an awesome job on my 2002 Camaro SS. I had SLP headers put on and then a dyno-tune. I already had a Cold-Air Intake, and some other goodies on the car but the difference when I got it back was amazing.They weren’t the cheapest but they had some good write-ups in some car tuner magazines so I took my baby there and was extremely happy that I did.

Review №56

Built two of my cars, first car was delivered on time, second had some delays. Solid shop and good tuner. However both my cars came back with minor issues. Both had issues with the tune. (Not turning off certain features no longer needed on modified car) Not having tuning software myself this cost ME money to have another shop fix the CEL issues.Another issue was made right by the shop with free parts. So they made it right with the hardware stuff but the oversight on the tuning on 2 instances cost me $$$. Other minor things include missing body panel fasnters etc...3 out of 5, still a good shop. But if youre a stickler for attention to detail and getting timely detailed responses you may want to continue your search for a shop.

Review №63

Took my C6 vette here because another shop was giving me the run around and my car was not running properly. Had a lot to do with the tuning. So I heard from a few friends of mine to give RPM a try. I had my car towed here and had them retune my car and ever since getting my vette back, the car runs strong again. The tune and shifts with the new transmission (was also installed by RPM) works to perfection. Fran sure knows how to tune your car the correct way. He will and can fix any screwed up tunes from other shops. Bill was excellent at communicating back and forth with me. Keeping me posted upto date with everything going on with my vette the whole time it was in their shop. Cant say thank u enough for Fran, BILL AND THE WHOLE RPM crew. Heck of a job fellas. Wont trust any other shop with my vette from here on out.

I have a 2015 C-7, Z-51 Coupe (Note the Shark Grey Vette pictured in the RPM photo on dyno). Another shop installed an A&A Blower & American Racing Headers. Long story short, thier tune wasnt right and I cracked #7 piston and damaged the plug tip. Heard a lot of positive reviews about RPM so I figured at this point I have nothing to loose, car only has 3500 miles on it and I need it fixed. Having been to other performance shops over the years with my C-5, I can say without any hesitation at all, RPM is the real deal an exceeded my expectations! They built me a monster Vette that is incredible to drive. Fran, Bill and company know thier stuff exhibiting professionalism throughout the entire process. Bill has ALWAYS respond to my constant emails requesting advice and progress updates, rare quality these days. ERL Performance 377CI Shortblock Package, Callies H-Beam Rods, Wiseco Forged Pistons W/ Total Seal Rings, ARP Main Studs, Machined and ballanced. RPM Custom LT-1 DOD Package, RPM Custom Cam Shaft 213/226 117LSA W/38%Fuel Lobe, ARP LT1 Cylander Head Kit, BTM Platinum Spring Kit with Platinum Retainers, Brian Tooley Racing 7/850 3/8 Pushrods Katech C-5 Timing Chain, LS7 Lifters / Lifter Guide, Comp. Cams Phaser Limiter, NGK- LTR711X-11 Spark Plugs, Vibrant Catch Can, AIS Methanol System W/ stainless steel lines, 3 Gallon Tank, Duel Nozzles, Snow Solenoid & AEM Controler, A&A Vette Supercharger Pulley / Belt 25-080471 and to top it off a Custome Dyno Tune for Forced Induction using HP Tuners. Also included was new Sump Crankshaft, 160 therm., Oil pmp. and a host if other goodies Etc. All you C-7 owners, do yourself a favor and see the boys over at Race Proven Motorsports, you wont be disappointed ....I can vouch for that!
