Default C8 Callaway certification for 2024 models

Seeing how @Callaway is still working on certification for its SC C8 will their current testing be applicable to Model yr 2024 as most owners do not have our cars yet ?

I was wondering about that too. Mine will probably end up being a MY 24 car as well.

Good question, especially with speculation that the 2024 SR may get a small (25 HP?) bump in HP rating. If so, there might be slightly different tunes for 24 and pre-24MYs. Maybe it will be clearer in the next newsletter...

Callaway has a long history of working closely with GM on it's Corvette (and other) mods. It is also speculated that GM may be working directly with Callaway in their Supercharger and OEM ECU/PCM tune offering, which would tie in nicely with the advertised full drivetrain warranty post supercharger installation - serviced at your GM dealership. Still hoping the HP upgrade from the Callaway solution will be compelling enough to move forward with the purchase/installation. I'm confident that the fit & finish will be top notch, but the go-fast component needs to be top notch as well; at least for me.

Id imagine everything will work just fine. Even if the tune is different Callaways will just supersede it. If everything is what im looking for and I stay with Callaway im just sad its taken longer than expected. That combined with what ever place I may be in line means I wont have much of the warranty left.

Stingray is not getting a power bump, there is zero indication that this is happening. What is clear is that the ERay, their $100K+ showpiece, is getting the LT2 in 495hp trim for MY2024. They are not going to put an LT2 with a lower output in that car. No way.
