LPE top end kit
picked up my car (99 hardtop) on thursday it took them two weeks just like they said it would. The car seems fine they even reset my preset radio stations. Dynoed at 382.7 hp and 360 fp torque rear wheel corrected. When I figure out how to post the graph I will.

Re: LPE top end kit (howardl)
Those peak output numbers seem of course lower than some top-end combos from other tuners. But I'm one of those to look beyond peak numbers and just performance stuff. How's drivability? It must be a refined as can be for top-end packages.

Re: LPE top end kit (STAGED)
Hey Howard, your #'s are in the ball park with mine. Had the LPE top end package, with the Z06 intake, ported throttle body, balanced and blueprinted motor, and the LPE long tube headers and dynoed 386 rwhp on new motor and 368 torque. Car is smooth as silk, gas mileage is close 30 mpg on interstate road trip, and idles at smooth 800 rpm. Did a 100 mile Corvette back roads run this afternoon and am still grinning from ear to ear. Service at LPE is first class and they also completed my work in two weeks. the folks at LPE are great to work with. Thanks Whiteboy :chevy

Re: LPE top end kit (STAGED)
Just a quick PS, My heads are ported and polished LS1 heads. Also already had the Breathless Vortex Ram Air and B&B Triflows and X pipe. Have since done the exhaust bypass similar to A&A Engineering and now love the sound of the exhaust . Whiteboy :chevy
