We made 830 with meth and the stock engine, didn't want to push anymore than that but it was no where near closed WG. Going forward with production now our biggest focus is stock cars with a turbo kit and CARB certification. What happens power wise from there who knows yet, but our main focus is legal-easy to install power on pump gas, and again... 50 state legal. So no piggy back ECU's allowed. This set up on pump gas can make in the 600 rwhp area fairly easily which will keep most people happy and still have a car that runs and drives like stock otherwise, no stinky exhaust and so on. Well I guess some cool turbo noises are added too.
We are working with them to get our TT kit passed through CARB certification, our C8 will be headed off to Ca soon for the final testing.
I'm not going to put up a separate post yet, if you were kind of enough to endure this 2 year old post then we want you to be in the front of the line, but we are going to start taking appointments for in house installs, so feel free to call in if you would like to get on the list. Thank you for your interest in this, I know it has been forever, but I really feel we have taken the time to get this right on the money the first time out with a ton of drive time and testing. The spool of the turbo's being so close to the manifolds is just amazing, it really makes the C8 what I think it always should have been power wise.

I said methanol, Doug, prove me wrong!
I am close with another shop and without methanol it’s not happening

We have worked with Pietz and Fuel Tech for engine tuning depending on power level. In the past "piggy back" systems would not be considered for CARB cert, but in this case the computer isn't really piggy backed as in another ECM is running the car. Only some of the inputs are manipulated so not to make the factory ECM unhappy and go into REP. All of the emission controls are in place and functioning properly.
The 700hp package includes clutch packs, (625rwhp) and the 650 package does not. (575 rwhp)
Neither of those two packages use methanol injection. These are for those who want to get in the car and go just as it was stock on 93 octane. From there sky's the limit, but these are the two packages we are offering with a warranty on the engine from us for two years.

You can add meth and turn up the boost, on 10 lbs and meth injection we made 830 RWHP.
The turbo's are rated for 900hp each in a perfect world, in the tight packaging maybe 750-800, so within reason, no matter how high you want to turn up the power the Turbo kit will not need any upgrading. Everything around it will, but I assume that's understood.

Great seeing the car at Carlisle and finding out more about the setup. the big torq swell will be amazing with more traction of the c8
nice job getting a streetable solution out there with top notch quality worthy of the vette
