Default Lingenfelter 660 package......WOW!

I got a chance to drive and ride in an LPE C6 Z06 660 BHP package. I met up with SABR's car and all I can say is...wow. Great job LPE! Power delivery is SO strong but smooth.

For as big at the GT-21 cam is, I did not notice any major driving issues. The car did not shake out of control or surge like crazy. On the highway, in fact, there was no surging in 6th gear at 65 mph. Any surging I felt in lower RPMs was very minor and hardly noticeable. Amazing what great tuning can do for driveability.


I am willing to bet this car traps upper 130's in the 1/4 mile. It's that fast. It felt comparable to my Procharged C6 Z06 in terms of acceleration.


Send your car to LPE!

It was really nice meeting you today! I'm glad you enjoyed the ride/drive! It's always nice to be able to "try it before you buy it" glad I was able to help. Now lets get that 660 put in and go on some of those Exotic runs

It was my pleasure. Thank you for your time. Your car is simply amazing. Never knew the LPE heads and cam packages for the Z06 was that fast.

2 LPE 660 C6 Z06's = 1320 bhp

Try it before you buy it...I am sold.

And for those of you who don't think that a heads and cammed Z06 can't put a MAJOR whipping on a stock ZR1...you are very wrong.

True, but I never said stock. I said just not too crazy.

About 560rwhp Its a nice package for sure, but i think they are over priced. They do good work though.

You can get over 600rwhp with the ls7 with right mods and tune.

Ragin Racin stage 4 package with your choice of cam(Lethal or Striker)
http://shop.raginracin.com/product.s...&categoryId=70 for a better deal and you will yeild more pony's(600ish rwhp)

Well being I have put 9000 hard miles on the package with out a single issue and the fact it comes with a 3yr 36,000 mile warranty I don't see how you can beat the price. "Who else is doing that"

With a 616HP LPE package I trapped 130 several times in full street trim and stock F1s'.

The additional 45HP is easily another 3 mph traps, if you can get the power down. It's taken me a dozen runs or so to learn to modulate the power through the first 1/8th and not just blow the tires off in smoke. It's like dancing on a razors edge with 500+rwtq with stock F1's. Fun as hell though!

Anyone have times for a 660HP LPE package?

I've seen Rudy drive and he shifts much faster than I do. So, I'm betting he'll have no problem knocking out an 11.2x out of this vehicle - Bone Stock!
