I will have to check, as I know they were installing ID1000s on the SS. This might be the contributing factor.

They offer all sorts of options. If they install it, they won't come after you for it. Some packages, like the Rocky Ridge offer tuning. The Calloway has a supercharger.

Maybe I'll have them throw in the air intake and the cat back.

Here are the two sheets I have access to ATM.

Stock vs tuned (2015 Chevy SS):

Tune only vs tune with AirAid (2015 Chevy SS):

Interesting.

Looks like NorCal is pulling an extra 25hp out of just an intake and catback...? Wonder why the big difference?

Leans it out. Look at c7 z06s I gained 42 from just that but like people say not much left in tune after doing intake.

I'm just giving results from my own truck abd customers feedback. On the 6.2 going to the full 3.5 inch is a deff increase. Anyone with 6.2 will be very happy with afe/MagnaFlow 3.5 inch combo.

I Do a Package deal afe/MagnaFlow $1399 shipped

He used two different dynos on two different days on two different vehicles. We have seen completely different numbers just in changing strap tension. Also, a hub dyno is much more accurate than a DynoJet due to the DynoJet correction factor of ~20%. This is exactly why a load bearing dyno is best for tuning.

Interesting. NorCal saying nothing much left to tune if you get an intake and catback. Bear saying air/catback only give negligible gains and most is gained from tuning.

Oh Internet, I love you!
