Dyno tuned 2015 ZO6/ZO7
I know it's premature however does anyone have thoughts about dyno tuning the 2015 and being able to get even more than 650 hp out of it? I would assume that the GM techs have the supercharger detuned. BTW what would that push top speed to.

Watch and see the pulley will riveted on. The if you do it may not power up like the 2.3
Why would a tune gain 50 rwhp! Gm left that on the table? That is so doubtful!

Car manufacturers tune HP out of their cars all the friggin time. Driveability and warranty need to be considered, not just a number on a graph. I talked to the viper guys back in 2003; they said they could add another 110 hp easily with a tune only. When asked why they wouldn't, they said "Why do we need to?"

Ignorant statement.
Sorry, but it's true. Factories are in the business of making money, ie running conservatively to avoid paying for warrantied repairs. They tune the cars with an extremely high level of confidence that they will never break or prematurely wear.
Pulling 40-50hp out of a boosted engine from the factory is commonplace in the aftermarket with tuning.
A pulley swap and tune on a GT500 (2013 and 2014) will get you 700whp. A tune alone is around 650whp. Stock is about 600 to 610 whp.
This is modern engineering with 650hp cars that get 30+ mpg on the freeway and will last 200,000 miles with regular maintenance. It's a marvelous thing. Welcome to 2014!

Lets assume the car makes 575rwhp stock, you will need to gain 125rwhp to get to 700rwhp and that's with a tune only?
Even 50rwhp is an unrealistic gain to expect, 30rwhp sounds right for a supercharged engine without increasing boost.

this has to be the funniest **** ive read in a while, wanna bet?

I tend to agree with this just based on what the Z06's SC is already spinning at however I did get 102rwhp on the dyno out of my 04 Cobra with a tune 2.6 pulley and JLT air intake with a similar sized and much less efficient SC'r...I guess well just have to wait and see just how efficient and mod friendly the new SC'r is on the Z06.

And while this will be my first blown car, I'd imagine 700whp with only a tune is a complete pipe dream. I hope to be wrong!

haha... Clearly you didnt see the dyno graph.... If they revved it to 7k it would make 40more HP.... Car will probably make 600-620rwhp or so stock. I bet a tune gains 50 or so. We shall see.

I gained 32whp w/ only a tune on a bone stock 2008 G8 GT w/ a N/A V8 and lower performance threshold than a boosted LS3. 20-30whp gains on LSx GM vehicles is absolutely commonplace w/ a tune only. Par for the course. With all the torque mgmt/pulled timing strangling these cars from the factory to begin with (even moreso than in past iterations) I can see gaining 50WHP easily w/ a tune on a blown 6.2
Pulley swap + tune and intake I think 100whp would be attainable. I'm guessing these cars will dyno around 575whp stock, maybe a little higher, so you'd probably need a few other supporting mods for 700whp. Or you could just go to a dynojet lol

Based on LS7s dynoing around 450 stock... ZR1s at 550 stock.. I'm guess this one will definitely dyno below 600.. Im guessing 570-590 range.
