The one who wants their boost turned up to the max, and their motor blown apart.

OK, we got a 67hp gain, an extremely tough feat for a blower car.

Pulley nets 3psi more boost.
air filter
headers
tune.


Doubt it'll blow up, but I'm quite curious to know what that package price runs. I bet it's over $5k.






btw, is the ZR1 section broke?

You guys are slipping.

I don't care who he hires or pays for advertising, with all the good shops around nowadays I don't know why you go to that guy for any work with his reputation when there are so many other shops with flawless reps that charge less than they do.

Lingenfelters ZR1 package is $2995 (just using their price as they were the first website I thought to check). Their advertised HP is lower, but I recall reading tests in Car & Driver between equivalently hp rated Vipers and the LPE car was quicker than the Hennesey car, with the editorial comment actually noting the discrepancy between performance stats and quoted power.
