First experience with TTi-X C5
One of the board members had contacted me about fixing the tune on his Corvette. He said that the car had been tuned by another shop but the car had issues and wanted to see if I could fix them. A couple weeks pass and we finally get the car down so I can take a look and start tuning. The car is a basic 346" with forged rods and pistons, Total Engine Airflow heads and a pretty stout fuel system. The TTi X package rounds out the car.
I looked at what he had orginally for a tune and really couldn't figure out how the car even ran but it did. I ended up converting him over to a 3 bar system and got the tuning started late last night. After the first two rounds of tuning the car is incredible, idle is rock solid @ 800 throttle response is incredible and the power is insane. He said that the car orginally dyno'd 800+rwhp and we'll find out thursday what its going to lay down. I am very surprised at the throttle response and the power, on the low boost settings the car is a rocket, the rear end squats and lurches forward at an incredible rate. I'll post the dyno numbers this week.

To the extent that it has any lag at all, is it fair to say that a TTi X is the least "laggy" of any TT setup including LPE? I'm just trying to get a general sense. I realize it may be difficult to quantify.

What about LPE? And with the LPE "kits" we have to talk apples to apples, the X kit is not going to put out the kind of power that a full T4 over the top will do, which is what I think their 1100 hp setup is... it is impressive for sure.
Also... there was already a 427 TTiX car that made over 900.
The stuff Phil posted on the 416 was over 840, with just 14 psi of boost. Will be interesting to push the outer limits with this. I am rethinking my head and intake choice a little bit, but if you can do 850, what do you really need..

DAM !!Nothing yet from APS 427 built engine... i saw a few in the c6 section getting them put on , but no numbers yet.
Im sure with Mark's car 900 will be done without any issues and it will pave the way for all the c6 z06 owners to jump on the ttix kit
No inlets issue. there will be a line for the kit.
