Any videos with the valves closed? I'm wondering how much less aggressive the sound is without the performance exhaust. Debating if the NPP exhaust is worth it.

It's just my opinion, but if you're going for headers, cam, etc... go for the NPP.
Quiet when you want it to be (highway, long drive). Raucous when you switch to Sport. Ridiculous when you switch to track.
That's the way I like mine, anyway.

Awesome results! For anyone in the market for headers, I just wanted to point out the graphs shown in this thread vs the graphs in the linked thread (ie: pfadt headers):

Looks like the kooks headers/tune out perform the pfadt headers/tune at every rpm.

Was the Z06 also dyno'ed on the same dyno? Pretty sure it was on different day though?
If the C7 makes slightly more power than a stock Z06 with tune+headers, with the Z06's weight advantage the C7 should be right next to it in a straight line acceleration contest...

One cannot make that statement accurately until both systems are tested on the same car/same dyno/same tuner... There are too many variables to consider.
As one of the first shops in the country to crack 500rwhp cam only I can assure you that not all tuners are on the same playing field with the C7/E92 ECU. Not only is the software extremely limited right now, but there will be a steep learning curve for many tuners.
Congrats Rob & TSM crew! Looking forward to seeing more results from you guys.

Thanks Ron, congrats on your success in the platform as well!

@Yourconfused It died when asked how much spark they were throwing at it... probably because it was so much the engine detonated and took them with it to get those gains off just a set of LT's. Tuners...
