Default Callaway Releases Official Numbers on C7 Upgrade



I feel like I should just go ahead and call this the power era for the C7 because we're getting wind of a lot of big numbers for the car.

After showcasing its first take on the new Corvette earlier this year, the team at Callaway has released the official numbers and pricing for its basic C7 performance upgrade, as reported by Motor Authority. The 627-horsepower package, dubbed the “SC627,” costs $17,995 in addition to the cost of the 'Vette.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage.

DD is now optional Many had asked about keeping NPP, which is now standard on the 2015 Z51 cars, so we've made the change.

How long does a conversion take on a customers car?

You can get the car with the Stinger stripe, correct? I think it would tie the front vent and the supercharger vent together nicely.

Upgrade suggestion, offer a wide body kit.

Generally speaking, two weeks with scheduling.


Please let me know on any other questions - thanks.

Agreed, too. Would look good.

kinda curious how the Callaway SC627 @ $17k differs from the LPE 624 @ $11k
seeing as they both use the Eaton TVS2300 ?

The intercooler design on the Callaway is much different, more efficient, for one. This does cause the height not to fit under the hood completely stock, so they have a clearance cut-out exposing the manifold through the hood.

Callaway is also warrantied by GM. The only one that is.

Then they do badges and miscellaneous stuff.

Callaway's reputation is second to none.

That being said, I'd rather spend $6k for a blower and have my local shop do the install than fork over an extra $11k for "peace of mind".

Very nice guys, do you have dyno graphs showing what it makes to the Rear Tires instead of flywheel numbers. Just curious what kind of RWHP that blower package puts down. Like always, great job guys.
