No, factory engine and even a conservative factory Magnacharger tune that is shipped w/ the kit that they install in house! The vettes are not tuned individually on a dyno like most of the custom kits from LSx shops!
Infact, the going rate to have a Magnacharger kit installed just like the one Callaway uses is $8400 installed w/ dyno tune and upgraded Kenny Bell boost a pump! Compare that to the price of what they charge for a converted Corvette!
The only thing I would buy from them is their "famous corvette hood" that fits over the supercharger, but thats the one item that they stopped selling to the public a few years ago to convince people to buy their expensive package. I contacted them a few months ago w/ cash in hand to buy a hood and I guess they had it so good selling $100,000 cars (basic vettes w/ $8K superchargers
) they didn't need my money.
PICS...

Nothing we do is "off the shelf" and our Engineers and Technicians spend time on craftsmanship, not some dyno sheet which rarely prove to be worth more than paper they are printed upon
Well, except the part about our hoods and we reserve them for our Callaway Corvettes
