Lingenfelter does good work but man their prices are ridiculous. I don't even want to know how much that costs. Either way good results I'm sure you will be very happy.

What's nice about LPE is they offer a 36month/36k mile warranty on their builds.. I don't know any other shop that does that. You get what you pay for.

That is serious power, I'm in that range with 4:10's. Even with chassis & suspension upgrades that I've done I find it somewhat intimidating & of course major fun

- Three angle valve job, correct setting of spring tensions
- Lingenfelter GT21 hydraulic roller camshaft by Competion Cams
- JE 2618 alloy forged aluminum pistons

I love NA monsters. I'm sure the performance will be incredible, but the car looks great as well with the wheels.

Thank you McFly09, CCWs are one of the best value and SP 500s simplicity give c5s a beautiful stance

CTD, which upgrades have you done to the chassis to hold the power stick to the road?
Thanks
I am on coilovers and upgraded sway bars, what else could be useful?

Tires.

A Nitto 555RII or nt01 will help quite a bit and not sacrifice any handling.

Also a Nitto 555r drag radial will improve traction even better and still give feel of a street tire.

If you don't car at all about handling on occasion you can throw on a MT or Hoosier DR.
