Agreed. Only saw 2 potential performance items and wasn’t sure what the “Engine Group” was.

Surprised not to see a Tune application in the engine group. No supercharger this time?

Hopefully, as they’re already behind Lingenfelter. Though I expect Callaway’s pkg to be backed by a full warranty, whereas there is no mention of a warranty that I could find connected to the Lingenfelter pkg.

Nobody has cracked the ECU on the C8 and I doubt anybody ever will. Piggyback ECU is probably the only way to do tunes unless GM works with a tuner (Callaway would be the most likely based on past history), but so far they have not.

Just wondering now if the Callaway Honker will be available to customers as an aftermarket? Also there is no horsepower signature as was done with the previous series...e.g. SC 627 although it's not a supercharger. Members are probably curious if there were any gains or none with the ported manifold intake and the Callaway Honker cold air intake.

I wonder if the Callaway Honker intake for the C8 is an exclusive design or a rebranded offering available from the likes of K&N, AFE, Corsa, etc. similar to Lingenfelter's exhaust system by Corsa.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a K&N intake but that's pure speculation on my part.

Being first to the party has never been their forte...being the most OEM-level execution, on the other hand, has been. They will arrive late to the party but will be dressed for success

Ported intake manifold and Honker Air Inlet are the two power inducements? Seems lame for a Callaway.
. I was hoping for supercharging or turbo....
