I'm aware HPT availability is still in it's infancy and currently no TCM tuning is also a limitation but the lack of real world results is disappointing. Especially considering the cost. Gearing is most of the reason.

After having a 611 rwhp C6Z go 169 MPH in the half mile then had a full weight 800 rwhp LT4 ZL1 run 9s in the quarter and 60-130 in 5.2s like clockwork I knew C8 wasn't the platform for adding big power given the results. If I was getting an LT2 car (E-Ray or Stingray) would do the simple bolt-ons Cordes recommends and leave it alone.
