So far, in addition to the posted site I previously listed, this is all I can find on the referenced mfg.

Anyone in Lewisville TX heard of this company?

The site shows a purchase price of $139,995 and a reserve deposit of $5000
on 11/2018 street view it was an empty spot between Marcos Pizza and a Great Clips. I live about 40 minutes away and don't go to that area, or I would drive by.

Seeing a 100HP gain from "int/exh" only, would be "ambitious."

A 100HP gain from
Intake/Exhaust
AFR mods
Spark curve mods
Some other stuff I won't go into (yet.)

Is still a tall order.
This isn't because the mods are "that good" but that the OEM equipment isn't "that bad."

They are claiming 512 rwhp if I remember what I read. So how much of an improvement is that over a standard C8? All the usual disclaimers, different dynos, different days, etc.

Here's where I am

I signed up at the Lingenfelter site for their early announcements on C8 products

Nothing received yet.

Zero chance of making 100hp more.

You would need a high compression engine (c8 is already high compression) heads, cam, I/HE and some alternative fuel because 93 Octane won’t get you there , and finally the ability to tune the car.

Some type of port injection will be needed as well.

The stock dynos I have seen are just about 440whp.

100 extra hp. Agreed, not happening.

GM will give the access to a few, but have not yet.

Are you saying that WHP before is approximately 450. And the WHP after is approximately 550. That would mean in 1/4 mile instead of
10.9 seconds it would possibly be 10.5 . And 0-60 3.5 seconds.

Smells like ricer math. Tuned airbox? WOAAHHHH!! Probably $6K for that "package" (intake/exhaust) . Sure hope Taadge contacts Mr. Lingenfelter soon! Missing out on 105HP from a few simple mods and stickers.

even using their chart, I only calculate about 585 HP at the crank. Not that it is terrible for bolt-ones, but still not 600HP.

I live in the Little Elm area but this is not far from where I work in Lewisville. On my next if office day I will have to do a drive by and check it out. I will get an update but it could be Tuesday next week.

Like other tuners have said 600hp and torque is the max the transmission can hold before slipping. That air box is a beautiful work of art. I’m waiting for the Z06

As for injectors, I've made 705 crank in the LT1 motor which is about maxed out. I added the LT4 low side for insurance afterwards because I was on the edge.
Oh yes it is possible with ported heads, intake and exhaust. Since there is no data on mapping, this engine could be detuned for longevity. Its all about flow and timing.
