Default Upgrade expectations

I am considering a pro charger d1sc kit for my 16 stingray along with Texas speed long tubes and non catted x pipe while keeping what's left of the exhaust (lol) stock. With a custom tune and 7psi what can I expect (ballpark) for numbers? Hp at the crank and rear wheels, torque? Thx in advance

Stock fuel system will limit you to 580-600RWHP. On 7lbs with a D1SC and headers I'd say 585ish..

We may have met, I had a 2001 Black C5 Z06 back in 2001-2003. Then took a 12 year Corvette sabbatical while my kids grew up.
