Default C7 TSM Tune only Results!

Today we had the opportunity to tune our customer's new C7 7MT Corvette using EFI Live.

The car is currently 100% stock with 550miles. The baseline provided was the best of a 5 runs, unlike some previous comparisons this baseline was the best the car produced in stock form, not just the first pull. The final numbers were very consistent and impressive!


23rwhp and 33ftlb gained with tuning alone!






We will be installing a set of Kooks longtube headers with Green cats tomorrow, and will have more results in the next couple of days!


Edit: Here's an interesting comparison, a stock C7 vs the tuned C7 vs a stock 2009 C6 Z06. Its amazing how much torque the new LT1 produces in comparison to the LS7.

I will be sure to update this thread as soon as we have the Kooks LT results.

Honestly i'm not sure that any cat vs catless testing has been done with the Kooks on the C7.

The tuned LT1 bests the Z06 in hp until 5k rpm. The mid range power is excellent.

With the headers on and retuned a C7 will pretty much run neck and neck with a Z06. That's impressive.

Internet racing! We will see when that happens! The higher RPM of the Ls-7 and higher hp will make it tough!
