I really think the aftermarket has to be active when new models are released and do everything they can to get quality products and support pushed out. Seems as the years pass this is becoming more of a reality.

I went from 300 (261whp) to 550 (479.9whp) in my stang for $5,500 installed (by myself) and custom dyno tuned. Included a new fuel pump, injectors, blower, intercooler fmic, and all the other essential goodies. I hate this package ******** that makes you spend all this extra money. Gimme the power and nothing more, k thx bye.

Now I understand a TVS2300 is a more expensive unit than a Vortech V3 with 900hp capable 3 core front mount intercooler, but not by $17,000.

Callaways come with a 3 year 36,000 mile factory warranty, there is a full package of other upgrades including a specially-built exhaust, a custom hood, intake, intercooler, fuel pump and high-flow injectors, and a bunch of interior pieces with the blower. It's not just strapping on a blower like other tuners. They take more of a production car approach, so rather than peak horsepower numbers, they go for maximum durability and driveability.

The only other Corvette tuner out there that comes close is Lingenfelter. Those are the only companies that would get my money for a Corvette.

I'm curious to see what the LT1 will be able to do NA, because NA > FI any day for a sports car.
From the looks of things about the same as this package for less coin.

That's the "newer" design with the four lobe rotors right? Do they pressurize the air between the rotors or just move it along?

Is that 600 RWHP? $12K installed and tuned with a 3/36k warranty hmmm... Not bad but I would say $10k would be a lot better price point.

Callaway is not selling a "kit", so that is really not an accurate post about costs

We do deliver powerfully engineered packages for GM vehicles, with o.e. fitment and finish, designed to exceed one's expectations. And with a powertrain warranty which works with the GM PT Warr., peerless in the industry. Nobody else can truthfully say this, period.

...and that's the truth. Callaway adds the class to Corvettes that GM omitts. You also have the best looking babes at Carlisle.

Is that really LPE's shop? looks like just a warehouse somewhere. Excited they are supercharging the C7 already! Just expected a meticulously clean shop. I've been to hennessey's before and it was immaculate.
