Show me a graph with AFR. I bet its off the chart.
Factory widebands let you get away with some really silly stuff...
The lack of torque gain shows that its begging for fuel, aka, tuning.

Im just gonna go out on a limb here and say wait for the C8 Z06. If you add the cost of this C8 plus Hennesseys kit, it will probably be what a C8 Z06 will cost and it'll be factory built and, if rumors are true, a better DOHC engine. All the new owner will have to do is wait for the tuners to find a way to unleash more power. Plus being a factory built forced induction engine, the Z06 mill will come with forged internals, something this Stingray doesnt have. Let GM do all the engineering and work, not a bolt on package that has to be grafted to an existing platform.

I read today that they have not been able to hack the ECU but were working? on it.

Best bet is always to get the z06 version. When it comes to sell time you'll take a hit getting the lowest model vette. Just use the c7 stingray for reference.

Somebody reputable will come out with a TT kit soon. This just shows it's possible.
Nobody questioned if it was possible to hang a pair of turbos off the back of the car, the question is whether it can be driven under boost without blowing up down the road (i.e, tuned).

If theres room for a pair of mufflers, theres room for a pair of turbos ;)

It will be a long time until it gets "cracked" to be tuned, Just like the L5P. except there were only trying to get around the encrypted ECM. Not only is the ecm encrypted, but the whole CAN BUS system is encrypted with GM Global B. Only option I see is a complete standalone which you will lose all features. Hennessey is a joke.
