When we can get to a track to do the testing we'll have the numbers to provide, but Iowa doesn't really have any tracks or drag stips close to run legal testing.
Is the transmission internals upgrade required? I would be interested to see how long the stock transmission internals last with 129% more power. Probably will need way more fluid and filter changes at a minimum. This is a great update. This is getting close to the Z06 power range as well.
We do not upgrade the Transmissions on any cars we work on, we've found as long as you stay under the 650WHP, the transmissions hold up with zero issues or modification needed.
This is good gains for these cars being completely N/A. What isn't good is the price point installed/tuned is just too high so that will always be the barrier to entry on modifying these cars.
In the realm of fast cars, this is not one of them. If someone wants some more go, this is a solid way to go, better than a supercharger if your going to track the vehicle!
Maybe a before and after 60-130, or some 1/4 numbers?

I was going to say that would be nice but don’t go getting arrested, car impounded or getting somebody killed for a 60-130 street time.
How much is all of this total?
When will the c8 be able to be tuned to 7,000-7500 rpm nobody has been able to do it yet
Until we get TCM ability, this can't be changed :(
@ParagonPerformance is there an estimate on when this will come is hptuners even working on it or they don't care
Where's the UCW wing at?
Do you use johnson link bar hydraulic lifters for this ? Everyone says they are the best thing ever for the Ls and Lt motors
That is cool!!
What rear spoiler it that?

That is good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, but what nobody seems to talk about is what each of these levels cost to get the slight gains. So is it really worth it?
We have a performance breakdown sheet of each level of price / power gains if you'd like to email us at support@paragonperf.com
Haven’t seen e85 for sale in a decade
It's all over Wisconsin!
I thought these cars had driveability issues because the transmission couldn't be tuned?
Thats only the z06 or eray if im correct
We haven't had any transmission issues as long as you stay under 650WHP.

Yeah the C8 corvette is super disappointing in terms of HP mods. 4x the amount of another car to add HP
For whatever the cost, you get less than 25% increase.
That sounds so underwhelming imo
Leave your car alone it's fast enough 😊

@joeguliano2141 the modded road is a bumpy mfkr .
It is never fast enough! Hp is like jello, there is always room for more! Haha
No such thing as fast enough
