DECATUR, Ind. — Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, known for its fire-breathing modifications to Corvettes and other cars, is offering a new Gen-2 Twin Turbo package for the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that bumps up the 427-cubic-inch V8 from the standard 505 hp to 800 hp.
The $45,995 package takes six to eight weeks to set up on the 2006 Corvette Z06 and includes professional assembly and engine blueprinting, twin Garrett turbochargers, custom stainless-steel exhaust manifolds and turbo outlets, forged aluminum pistons, forged steel connecting rods and a high-capacity fuel system.
Lingenfelter quotes an eight-to-12-week lead time to carry out the modification.
