Default 500 Hp

I am looking at the Lingenfelter 500 HP kit for my Vette. Does anyone have any experience with this set up in an A4. Looking for reliability and drivability.

Thanks,
The Big Dog

I too have been looking at this mod. The feedback I have rec'd from three sources is very favorable.

One guy was running your A4 set up in a vert done by 21CMC and was very pleased. No tuning issues, good service and follow through.

Give them a call they want you to be a happy customer.

Had responses from one guy making 450rwhp in a Z with that package and another at 429rwhp and a more mild cam.

The last guy made over 530 with a maggie, he did the orignal pkg on another car and was a return customer for the maggie on his Z06.

All felt very good about the tuning and were impressed with both the power, drivability and service. If I were local and did not have to toss a couple g's in the street for shipping the car would already be there.

Hope this helps. Maybe someone will chim in.

21st CMC did a H/C and TC pkg for my '98 vert. last spring. This fall they upgraded the 3.15 gears to 3.42 for me. Great shop, great service! You won't go wrong! Car is very streetable, idles well and runs 12.4 in the 1/4 mile!

I have been on the Forum for a long time, never heard a bad thing about either shop. In fact, lots and lots of great things about both. Chevrolet dealers should strive for their kind of reputation....

Am I right in assuming that 2 of these cars were Heads/Cam cars and one was a Magna? If so, which had the most in-cabin noise? I am torn between these 2 setups for my daily driver and I am trying to find out which one is quieter?

Thanks!

Pete
