What is the roof scoop for? Increased drag?

The air intake is in the rear of the car. That snorkel does nothing except prevent you from opening the hatch. It would hit the roof. Of course, that's if the big wing wasn't also preventing you from opening the hatch.

This is a rendering of some but not all of what we might offer. Some like roof scoop, some dont and that's ok. Can we add a roof scoop? Well, we won't know until we get our car and spend more time with it. We are all know the deal about tuning the new C8, its going to take some time before this will be available. In the meantime, we can tell you that as soon as we receive our new C8 we will begin mocking up and building hard parts including exhaust, headers, supercharger and twin turbo systems so that this work is mostly completed and awaiting ECU calibration. No we are not taking any deposits and are simply asking C8 enthusiasts to tell us what they would like from us for enhancing their cars and how they plan to use their cars. We have received over 300 completed questionnaires from our website and very grateful to all who have let us know their thoughts and preferences. We are very thankful to everyone for their feedback and very grateful to the Chevy team for taking the risk and building this great car for all enthusiasts including ourselves.

Very good question. Most likely a positive displacement blower design.

I would love to know how much the DCT trans upgrade would cost for a 1200hp C8.

What's typical order-delivery timeframe? Do you cover drivetrain warranty voids?

you can choose to use the vendor or not, you can choose to abide by the forum rules or not..the number of removed posts and warnings should have been enough

Definitely interested in a setup that takes the power up to the max 590 torque that the stock tranny can handle.
