^^That pricing is just WOW. They want $6300 for their Stage 1 package with a claimed 510hp. Basically consists of a Halltech intake, Katech throttle body, some other misc. inexpensive items and the HPTuners tuning. If you had to surmise what cost they are putting on the tuning itself it looks like thousands. Like $3,000. WTF. At least it comes with a serialized dash plaque. I hope the plaque says "I hate money" somewhere on it.

The ecu just got opened. Just a matter of time. And maybe warranty period?

Yeah, but it won't be cheap by any means. $14,999 from Katech for a heads and cam package with tuning. Claimed 565hp. The site certainly seems to imply that these prices are inclusive of installation but I'm almost afraid to ask.

15 horsepower for $6300. Headers not needed for each build it appears unless I missed it. Since I already have those simple bolt-ons all I need now is a tune I suppose. I don't think shops are ready to do a (tune only) at this moment. Probably, just package builds.

No one is getting rich tuning C8's other than HP Tuners....

Not familiar with a flat plane crank engine. Are there different considerations for changing/tuning camshafts with a flat plane as opposed to a cross plane? I understand the vibrations are inherent in the design as is. I would imagine the engineers took that into consideration when choosing the best design not only for power but vibration. Will reliability be suspect?

A 510hp package for $6000+ makes zero sense. You can DIY an intake and headers and be at (or slightly above) that. Wideband oxygen sensors will easily accommodate those changes and you'd be in it for under $3K. It only makes 'sense' if you are planning to do one of the later stages and just want to do it in stages (assuming of course that these packages include installation). That way, you would save a big chunk on the next stage I assume.
