ANY engine from ANY OEM can be enhanced...at a likely penalty to BOTH durability AND fuel economy, two things most aftermarket outfits don't have to concern themselves with.

And LPE's warranty is NOT 5/100... "With our commitment to producing quality products Lingenfelter includes our 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty standard on installed engine packages"
Yes fully agree. Yet if a tuner shop can offer 3/36 warranty, surely GM could do much better given they have had this engine for a loooong time and know it better than anyone else. My point was, offering it at 505 seems like an afterthought to me especially if all other components can easily handle much more . If this car was in dev for 2 yrs as some had suggested, more could have been done power wise within the price envelope. Just my opinion.
