    But...To use GM's words:

    "We are confident that the vast majority of customers are going to be more than satisfied with the performance the Z06 offers in stock form.

    For those that want more power, they can visit an aftermarket tuner – who are not held to the same standards [emissions and warranty] as an OEM.

    However, this presents significant risk to the customer.
    An aftermarket tune voids the vehicle warranty
    as Chevrolet cannot possibly test or confirm the durability of their calibration; and aftermarket calibrations could cause drivability issues that are not present in the factory setting."

    [Unquote]


    BTW:
    The LT4's warranty is 10 years/100,000 miles.
    Maybe I'll do a little something to it, when those
    numbers have been attained.

    I understand what your saying for sure and I would assume the Callaway CAI would be fine seeing they've been tuning Corvettes since the mid 80's, the smaller pulley is just a little extra and sure the car has more than enough for just about anyone but when small mods add up to so much, it's tempting!

    It was a little difficult giving up the 75 more horses
    my SC'd LS2 C6 has over the SC'd LT4's 650...
    but somehow I believe I'll overcame that HP-deviation.

    Won't be able to accurately tell...until after
    the recommended 1500 mile break-in period.
    {That'll probably happen sometime next week. }

    Try to keep it clean and shiny.
    Install XPel Ultimate PPF on the most vulnerable areas.
