Here's one that LPE put together, that I'm sure you would have been satisfied with....a 2005 C6, which they gave their 427 Twin Turbo package.  Dyno'd at 1038.8 RWHP.
...:grr

Here's the Video of the Dyno run...:luv

;56 ;56...That Dyno "blue line" does have a nice look to it, doesn't it, vette2bshaw?  I'd have to invest in a good amount of tire stock!...:grr

Update 17-02-07

The area where Lingenfelter is located, (Decatur, Indiana) has received 17'' of snow in the past week, many of the tech's,engineers, and sales people were unable to travel to work.
Schedule pushed back by about a week.  New motor all put together, Commemorative hood, and Z06 rear fenders have been prepared and painted. All ordered parts are in.  Now all they have to do is get it all together...:spook...With the new delay, they believe I'll be getting my beast during the 1st week of March.  Hope there are no other delays....they will send pics of the motor going in next week...:v

It gives people an excuse to put their car on stands and undertake major modification projects. :v

Maybe I'll move... ;41

There's quite a bit of work happening on the sidelines yet, 69 DIRTY RAT, (3) additional gauges going in, changing to the Z06 brake set-up, some new "Lingenfelter 427" side and back chrome emblems, adding stainless steel screening behind all of the "openings" on the car, finishing the top side of the new hood opening, installing a shift lite,installing a pad under the carpeting that shields against heat and noise, installing a new oversize capacity radiator which contains a additional engine oil cooler, and a transmission oil cooler,  etc, etc...;eek

With all that snow on the roof, I'm not going inside till the snow is gone!...:ado  Maybe I could help it along with one of these, we were having a tailgate party in a parking lot, and I was cooking a Duck, you can see the Orange web-feet sticking out of the bottom of the flame...:mmm..........J/K

Wow TRJ, those lingerfelter guys don't muck around, you've had more work done on your vette in the last couple of months than whats been done on my vette in the last one and a half years. You got to be happy when you see progress like this.
NOW WE'RE TORQUING!

You're so right MADVET, they are the greatest, and this is with a lost week of work because there was so much snow, the employees couldn't get to work...I'm very happy with the progress...;42....actually, they have had my car since January 19th, which is about 42 days, including the lost week.  Of course, to me, it seems like my car has been gone for about a year!...:grr

Latest photo update:   06-03-2007  Gettin' close!...:spook

(3) pics of the new hood which Lingenfelter calls their "Commemorative Hood" completely painted, and is probably on the car by now.
(3) pics of the noise and heat insulation material being installed under the factory carpet.








Here's a great Tire Repair Kit that is sold by the Tire Rack, in the U.S. www.tirerack.com which I know that most of you are familiar with. It contains a 12 volt air compressor with an integral pressure gauge, liquid latex sealant, to quickly seal the puncture and get you on your way. Obviously this is for Corvette models that do not have a spare.  More info and a "how to Video" on the site.  Very cool...$79.00 us.
