Orders in GM's hand on a Laguna Blue Z51 7 speed manual trans unit....hope to see it by August unless the plan falls on its ass.

Been staying on top of the DI and Torque based logic implemented into the next run of controllers and namely the E92....should be an interesting few months...

Nice Howard, cant wait to see these start rolling off the line. :cool:

I saw a guy on the HPTuners forum already has some E92s. No idea if it's legit or not, but be good to get one asap to start assessing the controller!

Lets be realistic, I think you'll find both EFILive and HPT will have support for them not long after release if the ECM's are already available, I don't think it's going to be the big mystery everyone thought, unless they switch to a Bosch MED17 at the last minute!!

I hope not, I imagine you guys have your feelers out to scoop one up. If I come across one (doubtful as I do this on the side), Ill send it your way. :D

Now lets hope GM doesnt BOSCH out on us now!

oh its a DELPHI for sure. I'm not concerned as much about getting into it as I am about getting access to whats needed to accurately recalibrate the torque control loop. I'm starting to see through it though.............

What are you talking about, that sounds perfectly reasonable and easy. I mean, you just have to open the editor and POOF, all the tables fly at you right? :D

Howard, from what I understand the C7 is going to be one of the last 2014 vehicles sold with the E92 in it, by the time you get your C7 the E92 will be yesterdays news.

Howard, what info are you using to brush up on torque models for the new ECU's?
If its public Id be keen to take a look.

You ordered the car, did they happen to give you an actual power/torque rating?

I know it doesnt affect you guys much, just funny to smack down quid on a car with estimated outputs.

I suppose when Howard runs a business tuning Corvette's then it would make sense to be buying one sight unseen with no test drive.

Yes, its important to be in the front of the line in this case.

the C7's are starting to pile up outside of Bowling Green. They look nice.
