Default Redline motorsports c7 program another step closer

Well we are another step closer today with our upcoming C7 Performance Build program now that our "mule" C7 is officially ordered. Its a Laguna Blue Z51 with all the goodies.

Despite this being a big step in the reality of this program we have been busy for the last three months getting a grip on the engine management control systems.

The methods to properly re-calibrate these new controls will be very different then methods used in prior models. Much more technology has been implemented and "torque" based calculated control process will require a sharper calibrator to properly make adjustments as air flow changes are made.

Redline is very focused on this new platform and is committed to turn out well prepared C7's as production starts flowing this fall.

Looks like the excitement in Corvette is on a comeback!

Is your car going to be an auto or stick?

UPDATE:

We are now gaining access to the E92 Controller......the "uncrackable" controller....



Its been months of team work to get to this point but we still have some speed bumps ahead.

Other products are underway but its way to early to discuss. At least we are on schedule.

Howard I have been following you on the CTS V forums and here of course. You guys are top notch and always leading the way. Lydon Murtha told me that you guys are top notch and to only use Redline for all my vehicle needs Much Kudos. I wish I was closer to you guys, But time has been an issue for me, Hopefully I can get you my V some time in the near future, and then of course my C7 one day. Take care and continue with your forward progress.

How do you have access to this tech when the car isn't even out yet?

I think he may be talking about the BMW E92 M3 IDK?

Good luck, I know other tuners such as ECS are doing the same. I think you will be in for quite a challenge, as you mentioned, the complexity level has gone up substantially.

I am sure, given enough time and bucks, you will wring some real performance out of it...
