AFE + TB + Corsa + DiabLew =
SUCCESS!!! For any of you on the fence about where to go with mods and still have a warranty, this is your ticket. For under $2,000 you can really wake up your Stingray. Stock, I was a little bored, even whining to the wife about the performance of my 2014 Z51 M7.
So, added an AFE, Ported TB, Corsa X-pipe, and Diablo 93 AFE Intune. Car sounded better, performed better, and pulled much better then stock.
Next, I did the required logging required by Diablew so he could work his magic, and in less the 24 hours had a new tune sitting in my in box. Loaded it into the car Friday, and BAM, another big step forward. Tip in instant, and never stops pulling. 1st and 2nd are an absolute blast, and where as before 3rd gear felt a little sluggish, it now pulls hard all the way to 4th.
And the Corsa double X pipe really adds some noise, in a good way. My car is NPP, and it sounds really aggressive.
I was looking at Centri and h/c packages, but struggled with throwing a brand new warranty out the window. Now with some simple bolt ons you can go to the next level and keep your warranty...

Wish there were some dyno numbers to go with it! I hear diablo tunes are really felt because the throttle progression is much higher.
and how does the x pipe install? is there a stock xpipe there? H pipe? cats can stay in place?

OP, since you dont have access to a dyno, you should try the 40-100 mph test timer in performance mode. As a baseline you will see most stock c7s run it in about 6 seconds flat.
That way you can see if the mods improved your accerlation over stock.
Would be very interested to see your results/time!
