Cost of Stage 3 engine package (without all of the optional aero bits)?

Noticed the runs went past 6500.
Power is still hanging flat, amazing!!
I hear the cam is fairly mild, bet it works well in an A8, no converter issues?
Beautiful car and another super fine Katech build!!
Especially like the CF diffuser, nice touch

No. It doesn't fit on the supercharger snout so until there is additional porting or an aftermarket snout then it won't work.

these stages are engine enhancements
look on their website, C7 ZO6 packages
I believe the stage 3 is all of stage 2 plus camshaft and valvetrain enhancements
Aero parts are just options to ad while the car is already there

Around $1000 each way. Exotic Car Transport is usually the cheapest for Florida runs because they are based in Orlando. We also love working with Gadget Works Transport - 248-361-2326.

This car didn't isolate the camshaft, but we're doing a direct A-B test on my car now.

I have had the car back a few days.
Enough seat time for a short review.
Initial impression is that it retains the cars dual personalities , cruise around town and being light on the pedal and still is fairly quiet considering 2" Kooks cat delete headers and X pipe.
I kept the stock baffled mufflers.
Drive aggressively and you are rewarded with deep fairly loud exhaust.
Out of town, open road and mash it at any speed all hell breaks loose!!!
I have tested thru several modes and am impressed that the car never tried to bite me, track sport 1 and 2 obviously a lot of fighting for traction and the sound is incredible!!
I could not be more pleased, exceeded all my expectations!!, very few cars could come close to keeping up to where I've tested.
Excellent package
