SLOWEST Z

i heard some one talking abou the 660 HP Lingenfelter package for the Z06... i searched Lingenfelter website and i only found 616 BHP and 630 BHP packages. and i noticed that the 616 BHP package price is $5,895.00 and for the 630 BHP packe (only 14 additionl hp) it's $8,995.00

my concerns are:
1- is the 630 HP package worth the extrea CA$H ?

2- i live in Dubai (middle east) and to get the lingenfelter package i have to ship the Z to the US, which will cost me extra $3000-4000 for ocean shipping (LPE will arrange everything). i heard very good things about LPE and they have nice reputation, everyone who had experience with LPE seems to be fully satisfied and that's what encouraged me think about this plan. my car is bone stock and i thought if i want to modify it and void my warranty i would go for a professional job even if it costs more money.
do you guys think this is a good idea?
is it worth shipping the car to the US (cost will be: shipping price + package price + i won't have the Z06 for a long time, i expect waiting for more than two months to ship the car, have the package installed, and have the car shipped back to me)...

If you want it done right, Lingenfelter is a top choice. Or you can take your chances with the local guys in Dubai. To me the shipping cost & wait to get it done, would be well worth sending it to LPE.

I think you can get more power from some other vendors for cheaper. LPE is a good, reputable company though.

Lingenfelter really came through for me..... excellent service and product!

I have the 616 hp package from Lingenfelter. To me the extra cost for the 630 hp was not worth it only because I was not looking for the most hp I could get. I only wanted it to sound like a hot rod.
I would highly recommend Lingenfelter. I have been very satisfied with their work and the 616 hp package

Due to the high temp in Dubai I would avoid adding a turbo to your car

Katech is my first choice, LPE would probably be my second. My choice is based on R&D $ and track record.

I was told, and I may be wrong, that if you take the Lingenfelter route, be sure to send the car with headers attached. From what I understand, they won't do headers under penalty of law unless the car arrives with headers on. Good luck with your project. Look at the Vette Docs as well in NY.

i'm not talking about the turbo package.... i'm talking about the 600+ hp packages (cam, porting, only...) NA not power adders

SLOWEST Z

how long you've been having the package on the Z? do you feel the car is still as reliable and good for daily drive as it used to be before installing the package?
also just to double check going for LPE will void my dealer warranty, right?

O I see then I would go Katech and if you call them ask for Jason http://www.katechengines.com/katech_inc/

If you are going through the cost of shipping and such to lingenfelter then I would get the 660 package just call them up and they can explain the new package. I am pretty sure they use the GT21 and thats a killer cam I used it myself for a bit.

Check out the "Lingenfelter 660 HP Z06" thread on the main page of the Forum, it explains alot about the package & shows pictures & a Video link to a walk around of the car.

put in a cam, and headers and have 580 rwhp...(well over 650 crank) yourself, save $10k and only lose your car for a week.

I have had my LPE Z06 1 1/2 years. Yes it's still very street drivable, but with any cam it will act a little differant than the factory set up.
Yes and no to voiding of warranty. With my dealer it is not a problem, they know what I have done and work with me on warranty repairs. With that said if I would blow up the motor I would expect some problems with warranty.

580 rwhp !!! that's close to 700 HP on carnk, do you really think i can get that kind of power with only cam and headers !?

CondorCGT

It will be great if you can post a dyno test I am very interested to know where I can find the cam and headers that can give this much HP
