Supercharged C7 (pic inside)
 

Sooo it seems Lingenfelter is hard at work with their shop C7. I think they are gonna need a new hood here soon...

These (heads and cam)

Hold on a second sirz! Is this Heads and cam AND SCing?? Or different cars with two mod routes?? Seem like the same car idk.

Wow!

The Sticker glue is still drying on the Lingenfelter car.

Amazing!

Is that an Eaton or Whipple twin-screw blower ? Looks too short to be an Eaton.

I like how they are NOT posting some "hype no data thread"
and just getting to work!

Boy! that was fast!!! yeeeshh!:lol:

:cool:

Nice.

Yep the only speak when they have results or something in hand! Not selling wolf tickets about what they are going to do.

I believe same car - before and after the blower is installed.

After poking around, I'm pretty sure that's a Whipple installed backwards to minimize intake manifolding. There must be a shaft on the right side for the power takeoff, like a Magnacharger set-up. Whipple Twin-screws are much better blowers than the Eaton Roots blowers used on the ZR1 - more efficient. That means 1/2 the power takeoff and 1/2 the temperature rise in the charge for the same pressure ratio. This thing is gonna be a monster !! I'd guess 650-700 HP, easy !!

Oh dear!!! That was fast! Much faster than I would have expected. I would have figured we would be waiting months to see this kind of progress. I cant wait to see the final numbers!

That said, is that thing actually bolted down or is it just sitting on an aluminum plate on top of the block?

Actions speaks louder than words.

I wonder if Callaway has started. I know the project is named C20.

They are advertising a tad over 600 for 22k.

I'm wondering where that 1000 hp Hennessy is.

LPE :thumbs:

:rock:

Callaway Cars started development, some time ago. We were the first to supercharge the new Direct Injection V8 engines, and have had our supercharged package under development for some time.

In fact, we have a host of products under development for the new Stingray :flag: coming soon...

I really think the aftermarket has to be active when new models are released and do everything they can to get quality products and support pushed out. Seems as the years pass this is becoming more of a reality.

That is a magnuson TVS 2300. Uses eaton rotors

Wait, 600hp for 22k? Is everything encrusted with diamonds?


I went from 300 (261whp) to 550 (479.9whp) in my stang for $5,500 installed (by myself) and custom dyno tuned. Included a new fuel pump, injectors, blower, intercooler fmic, and all the other essential goodies. I hate this package ******** that makes you spend all this extra money. Gimme the power and nothing more, k thx bye.

Now I understand a TVS2300 is a more expensive unit than a Vortech V3 with 900hp capable 3 core front mount intercooler, but not by $17,000.

Looks interesting. Lt1 set to make nice numbers.

Callaways come with a 3 year 36,000 mile factory warranty, there is a full package of other upgrades including a specially-built exhaust, a custom hood, intake, intercooler, fuel pump and high-flow injectors, and a bunch of interior pieces with the blower. It's not just strapping on a blower like other tuners. They take more of a production car approach, so rather than peak horsepower numbers, they go for maximum durability and driveability.

The only other Corvette tuner out there that comes close is Lingenfelter. Those are the only companies that would get my money for a Corvette.

I'm curious to see what the LT1 will be able to do NA, because NA > FI any day for a sports car.
From the looks of things about the same as this package for less coin.

Its a TVS - prob 2300. . . which is essentially an Eaton.

That's the "newer" design with the four lobe rotors right? Do they pressurize the air between the rotors or just move it along?

12k for Hennessey HPE600 kit.

Is that 600 RWHP? $12K installed and tuned with a 3/36k warranty hmmm... Not bad but I would say $10k would be a lot better price point.

That's half of what Callaway wants.

Yes, similar to the one on my Hummer. :thumbs:

Callaway is not selling a "kit", so that is really not an accurate post about costs :nono:

We do deliver powerfully engineered packages for GM vehicles, with o.e. fitment and finish, designed to exceed one's expectations. And with a powertrain warranty which works with the GM PT Warr., peerless in the industry. Nobody else can truthfully say this, period. :cool:

...and that's the truth. Callaway adds the class to Corvettes that GM omitts. You also have the best looking babes at Carlisle.

Come on guys.... that's a TVS unit for the GM lsx/ltx cars. geesh!

TVS2300 Maggy

having a friend that demo's a lot of callaways cars, I can say they are truly top notch and very well put together works of art, if I had the money callaway would be the only ones who would touch my car!

No doubt.....silence is the best secret...its usually the little dogs that make the biggest bark....

HT

Howard something tells me your up to something........ hrm

Is that really LPE's shop? looks like just a warehouse somewhere. Excited they are supercharging the C7 already! Just expected a meticulously clean shop. I've been to hennessey's before and it was immaculate.
