Has anyone de-tuned a Z06 to the 550 HP range?

Own the car in California and you will get close.

Might be worth looking at ECS as they use them on their superchargers. Might even have a filter and testrictor (yours would need to be smaller) ready to go!
Wonder how the ECU would react?

Ask a race shop in the area.
In reality, many would benefit from reduced HP and progressing their driving ability.
As the HP wars are out of control an option in the car to set the max hp by 100 increments would be a great feature. Similar to traction control modes. And no, TC modes don’t do the same thing.
If it’s a wet track day, detuning the car to 450hp and running it in race would be a great option to have and would help a lot of drivers improve. Just 1 example.

Simple tuning, find someone with HP tuners or EFI Live and have them lower the commanded TQ table to your desired level.
That just pained me to type that btw.

All things considered, it would be pretty inexpensive to do, $199 for the pulley plus the cost of the tune.
It would be hilarious to see you go to the track with a de-tuned Z06 then watch you out drive someone in a stock one.

Everyone's a big picture guy, no one seems comfortable with the actual details. Or they get hand wavy about it being too easy or too hard or too time consuming or not fun or some other reason!

Just add a longer bolt in the circled area.

Not sure if it would throw a code, but cover up 1/2 of the backside of the air filter with a rag. Cheap, simple and removable.

Just like they say at Spring Mountain. Track Mode Sport 1. Have no idea what Track Mode does without choosing one of the sub options.
Sport 1 will give you PTM, Limited stability control, dampened throttle response (not reduced power) and no Traction Control.
If you want to practice using PTM you can drive on Dry Pavement in Wet Mode and PTM will activate on almost every corner exit at moderate throttle. Good way to play with it without throwing caution all the way to the wind. Once you have an idea how it works move to Dry for a while and then Sport 1. PTM works in every sub mode including race.
