Default C5 General HP War!

I'm wondering who here has the baddest C5 out there. What mods have you done to get where you are? What numbers are you putting out?

I'm curious to know if anyone has a lingenfelter 427 setup! I imagine this would be top dog if there was one!

I can't even imagine my Vette with that much power!!! Mine's putting about 400 horses to the street, and I'm amazed at how fast and powerful that is! It occured to me after I had my mods done that I would need new suspension and brakes to use that much power, not to mention the transmission! If I had the money though, I would probably purchase Lingenfelters' 427 twin turbo package, just to see what that kind of power would feel like!

No need for a war, most of us get along most of the time.
If you wanted to see a TON of power look at a lot of the guys in the Force Inc. section. Some serious pieces of art work. Doug at ECS has around 1300rwhp car (FULLY done 427 with an F2R supercharger) SICK SICK.
There are many 600+rwhp, fewer 700+rwhp, even fewer 800+rwhp and very few 900+rwhp cars. Most of them are using TT to get there. Eatrice has 790rwhp out of his F1R supercharger on a 346ci. Mine should be done next week and will be around 700rwhp. Heres a list to give you an idea what I have done to my motor. It takes around 25k to get a reliable 650rwhp+ car.

Here is what I have in the motor.

MTI Forged 347 Shortblock
Forged Lunati Billet Rods
Forged Wiseco Pistons 9:1.1
MTI G1 Camshaft (228/232, .588/.575 - 113 LSA)
Prototype ATI F1C 5.73:1 supercharger
Twin 4.5inch Intercooler's
3inch piping
LS6 intake
Titanium retainer
Dual coil springs
LG Long tubes 1 3/4
ECS billet belt tensioner
MTI LS1 Edit tune
12lb Carbon Fiber Nitrous Bottle
Exedy Twin disk clutch
Carbon kevlar disk
Z06 clutch slave
Larger mass airflow (no screen)
Polished Mass air flow
Steal braided hoses
2 Purges coming out Z06 screens
MSD 8.5 superconductor wires
MSD window activated switch
NGK TR6 Sparkplugs .35 gap
Borla XR Stingers
LG Off-road X-Pipe
02 simulators
60lb Morton Injectors
Fuel Mangement
ARP Head Studs
7.4 Inch Hardened Pushrods
Cometic Head Gaskets
MTI Stage II LQ9 Cylinder Heads
Ferra Valves
Racetronix Fuel Pump
Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump
Double Roller Timing Chain
Ported and Polished Oil Pump
Comp R Roller Lifters
ECS full custom brackets to handle the supercharger
3.42 gears with harden output shaft

Heres a picture of the motor.

Mine is certainly not the badest. There are some cars here on the forum that have a lot of RWHP.

With no hood or front end as an obstruction it is easy to get air - getting it to the right spot is still the problem....

Other members do have more HP than I, but I have gone the route of too much is really too much.

So, on the '99 I have the Lingenfelter 427 (no turbos). RWHP is 519, 489 RWTQ. Even with HRE's oversized, the tires spin, enen in 3rd to 4th

The S/O ('04) has the Lingenfelter HC, underpully, Kooks, 4:10's, etc. etc. RWHP was 439, and she is a runner

Lingelfelter has a C6 going to Brazil, over 1000RWHP! Why? Especially in Brazil (I live there part time, and the roads in the cities suck, but the hwys are like Germany, but with speed traps ).

In DFW we have a number of Lingenfelters (from 21st Century MC) that are stage 2 or 3. These run from 800 to 1000.

Holy smokes! I get a thrill just with the stock engine. Can't imagine doubling my horsepower. Must be a real rush.

Heres' a pic. of what's going in.
My old numbers with my Mag. were 508/468 saerwhp/tq.

The Z is @ ECS with a TTix twin turbo kit installed with a 382 forged stroker and AFR 225 heads. My alky kit and fuel system are being installed as I type.

We guess that i'm going to be n the area of 750-800 saerwhp and 800-850 saerwtq @ 14 psi.

The jury is still out till next week. Check the F/I forums as that's where I post.

How are the 4.10s with that RWHP. I currently have 4.10s and my goal is to be at the same RWHP as you, but I really never talked to anyone to see if the 4.10s are too much or if I can get away with a few more ponies...
