Lingenfelter has not even revealed their performance kit, that was due to be announced in November. I wonder if 600 HP is the limit of the stock injectors and ECU to automatically correct back to the factory Closed Loop AFRs. That would still be a lot.

Way back when, the Chief Engineer said GM would be working with selected vendors when asked if GM would publish ECU data. I didn't think that would work as there's a potential for legal issues. I'm not saying that GM is working with Lingenfelter Performance but it brings interesting speculation to the table. Callaway and Katech are two other names that come to mind as potential vendors that GM has worked with in the past.
I agree that the 600HP maybe within the limits of what can be done without modifying the existing ECU. It's also possible that GM and/or selected vendors will sell modified ECUs with stated capabilities. Exceed them at your own risk!
Interesting to watch how this plays.

Neither the source or Lingenfelter has raised objections to the released data and the source is selling tickets.

Don't know how they're getting it BUT I consider Lingenfelter a credible vendor. The source being quoted probably did a cut and paste on information provided by Lingenfelter?

Lingenfelter Extreme S C8 Exhaust
Here is a full exhaust including headers only getting 34 hp and you are saying an intake is going to give you 66 hp, lol? Not happening.

Nope didn't say that, said "Come, Watson, come. The game is afoot."
More specifically, If they say 600HP, I'll buy into that. If they say they made those mods, I'll buy into that. If they come along later and say, and "by the way there's these mods also", I'll buy into that.
What I'm saying is 600HP. Buy the ticket, win the car and get 600HP.
To me there's no reason for the source to quote a made up number and there's no reason for the vendor to promise what doesn't exist. Mix up in communications, maybe. But no action by the Lingenfelter to correct the mix up in two weeks? Nope.
I like the looks also, but that's another story.

I dont understand your point because something is obviously not adding up. There is no way you are getting 100 hp with an exhaust and intake. It simply is not happening. So either someone did quote a made up number or the listed mods are wrong.
Not to mention the C8 in the link is a horrible photoshop render and not an actual car like it is said in the description. The whole thing is questionable.

600 at the crank (with 93 gas) won't be possible without a cam swap. I would guess that with a stock cam, e85 tune, and a compression bump to 12:1 would still only put you in the 580 range (along with the mods listed). As for injectors, I've made 705 crank in the LT1 motor which is about maxed out. I added the LT4 low side for insurance afterwards because I was on the edge.

If I understand correctly, the objections are that the means described in the posting are insufficient to deliver 600HP IYOs. There must be more to the story, IYOs?
I stated earlier If they come along later and say, and "by the way there's these mods also", I'll buy into that.
What is of interest to me is that Lingenfelter deliver 600HP.

"What I'm saying is 600HP. Buy the ticket, win the car and get 600HP".
Are you saying that the prize description is false or perhaps simply incomplete?

The plot thickens
This is from the source mfg of the car
"It is powered by a specially tuned Lingenfelter 600 (naturally aspirated) horsepower LT2 motor, with a Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold, Corsa Performance Headers, Exhaust and High Flow Airbox, a 8 speed DCT transaxle, Cunningham/MOV’IT Disc Brakes, Tuned Suspension, Motorsport derived Aero Kit, 20 & 21 inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Tires mounted on bespoke forged aluminum HRE wheels that are modeled on the racing Halibrand Kidney Bean wheels used on the original 1960 Le Mans winning Cunningham Corvette’s".

https://cunninghamautomotive.com/
So the info comes from Cunningham Automotive, not directly from Lingenfelter
Which changes the game for me. I don't know Cunningham Automotive. So until I can get confirmation from Lingenfelter , the whole thing is in a cocked hat.
I'm not done tracking this one.

Completely agree. Would love to be wrong since the car would be awesome with 500 RWHP. I'd be thrilled to see 60 HP from an exhaust and intake.
