I love it when some asks a question, then someone who knows better comes in and tells you how you should spend your money...

Perhaps answering said question or not posting is a better idea.

To the OP....Callaway has a list of dealers and available inventory on their site. You can also PM Callaway Chris here on the forum.

keep in mind, that for the 20 grand they charge, you could get the lt5 blower and fuel system and make a 1000 hp and 1000 torque and that also covers the cost of the raised hood, and you will still have some money left over to spend on cooling upgrades, which new additional kits are about to be released. Give Chris at Crawford racing a call to find out about the lt5 blower for your next potential z06. This will allow you to zero in on the exact 19 you want (and you do want a 19 for the rear diff and in tank fuel pump upgrade)

Callaway's package is very nice and unique for several reasons...

#1-Callaway cars ALL carry the GM warranty. When a Callaway car is taken into a dealer ship there are notes about the car to honor the warranty.
#2-Callaway cars are 50 state legal. Yes it doesn't make 1000RWHP but IMO most people don't need or really want that.
#3-Callaway cars have very good resale value... you can't say the same of a car that's been modified by anyone else.
#4-Calloway has a direct relationship with GM which allows them access to info many shops don't have. Calloway is the exclusive provider and manufacturer of Corvette GT3 for racing.

the warranty is the best perk for sure. They are great cars and it is a great blower. I just pass on info I wish people would pass on to me if I were in their shoes. You know which direction im going soon enough

Every owner is different.. we have some customers who WANT 1000RWHP but most don't

Thank you - And here's the list of all vehicles available now, and we can always build one quickly, if those don't suit.

https://www.callawaycars.com/homepag...tte-inventory/

Default pages Corvettes, but all Callaway Cars and Trucks/SUVs can be seen online, which are available from our dealers.

Thank you again - Chris

Do you guys have a dealer in the San Jose area? I would think Callaway Cars would do VERY well here in Silicon Valley

I own a callaway 757 that sits at 769/791 to the tire on 93 oct., and I would do it again if that helps. You’ll be rewarded with more torque and have a car that can actually be tuned for less than 5500.00 like the ZR1.

I bought the car i wanted then sent it up to Callaway. Car was there for about 4 weeks. I also went with short throw shifter. If you have the M7 it is an awesome mod. They were great to deal with and i love the added power. I drove the Callaway for about 6 months then went to spring mountain and drove a stock car. Thats when i realized just how much faster the Callaway is. Their customer service is great as well, i recently had an issue with fuel delivery and Chris sent one of there engineers to my house and fixed the problem in my garage free of charge. Would do another Callaway in a heartbeat.

I have fuel lobe cam with lashcap and dual nozzle meth. At the fuel limit, currently trying to pimp out myself to wealthy women so I can score a CR Fueler setup from Chris Crawford

Is there a factory warranty with this or are you on your own with the 300+ hp/ torque added to a stock car?

On your own for sure. Reason I was asking John about the fuel system, is because I know deep down, as soon as he has the crawford fuel system, he will be writing a check the next week to crawford for the lt5 blower

I just hate to spend money on one wave up upgrades, and then find out I could have had the moon for just a few more bucks had I known about a package sooner. In this case, the dollars are the same... but the warranty is the only caveat, which is why i pay that compliment up in my first or second post. As for those saying 1000 torque is too much, understand, the boost in the lt5 blower can be tuned, and bled off, unlike other blowers. This is why chevy is only making 700tq at the crank. Its tuned that way. Its a choice. People dont yet realize how good the LT5 blower is. They will

Amen brother, the SC757 is definitely faster than the Z06. I can really tell a difference when I drive my wife's Z06 and when I drive my SC757. I have a direct comparison and can vouch that it's got more grunt than the stock car.
