Default World's first tuned C7 ZR1


The world's first tuned C7 ZR1... right here at DSX Tuning.

For those of you who have waited and inquired, it is finally a real thing.

Project: Pathfinder will serve as the blank canvas for DSX Tuning to develop products for the C7 ZR1 market. We always push to create truly unique and complete solutions for end users to achieve their goals. This car marks the start of our process to bring the entire C7 ZR1 platform forward for everyone... for a vehicle that's been largely untouched due to lack of access. We are committed to solving any problems (including the ones you don't even know you have) to bring this vehicle to the peak of ability. No tricks, no gimmicks, no half-assed answers. Follow along as we work through to unlock the full potential of what the E99 and S53 have to offer.

2019 Corvette ZR1 tuning is now available via HP Tuners.

www.hptuners.com

Tuning will require an unlocked ECM from HP Tuners as well as 10 credits for the ECM. The port controller is available to edit for 3 credits. A complete package consisting of an unlocked ECM and the credits required for tuning will soon be available through DSX Tuning.

No, we are advertising the first ZR1 with a successfully modified engine controller. The interesting part of this is the fact people can tune these now seeing as how many wanted to claim it was impossible. HP Tuners reached out to us to test the entire process and provide feedback to ensure they were ready for release.

Same question here! Can we get a baseline before & after with just a tune?

Best Regards,

We never ended up having time to dyno the car unfortunately. Thursday night, we were still flashing the car and testing software updates.

So you're advertising a tune with zero data showing what it actually gains. Makes sense...

I'll start...I say tune only will yield +63 RWHP (SAE on a Dyno jet) - on an otherwise stock ZR1.

I'm in for the details as well.
I have no plans to tune my ZR1, but I'm curious.

So if you tested the "entire" process, what was the gain? I see the cost is $2500+ and no where on either site does it state what gains all that money gets you. Asking for a friend.... LOL
