Wow!

Looks like they did an awesome job! Thank you for posting the "after" pics. This helps me determine what I'm going to do with my Camaro next winter.

Looks awesome

Holy Crap guys!!!
I finally got the car out today and took it for a test drive.
And am I ever happy.

I've been waiting all winter to feel the power again.
I had about a ten minute test run before loading it on a trailer and putting it away for the winter.
And all I can say is AWESOME!!
This is going to be a fun year, and I can't wait to get back to Mosport to let it wind out.
Check out the dyno...

Sorry it is sideways.

I forgot my camera

The shop is very impressive. They had about 6 other camaros there getting upgraded with superchargers, and a ton of corvettes.
Their machine shop and dyno equipment was very impressive.
I was having second thoughts about leaving my car down there for a couple of weeks, untill I got there and saw the facilities.
The parking lot out back was very secure, and the whole place was impressive.
I can't wait to pick it up, and mat the pedal.
Too bad I will be storing it for the winter when I get it home.
They will be emailing me some pictures as it progresses.

Is there a Canadian version to Lingenfelter in Ottawa or Toronto area?
In Montreal ACS composite produces modified hoods for our beloved Camaro.

I'm thinking of maybe and I mean maybe of upgrading in 2012 with Z28 stuff.?

I'm sure there must be shops that are more local. I did alot of research, and taking it to Lingenfelter just made me more comfortable.
They have been making 1000hp corvettes for a while, and have a ton of experience with the Camaro/Corvette engine.
There must have been 15-20 other Camaros there when I dropped it off.
And a 3 year engine warranty!!!

I'm getting Davenport Performance in Calgary to be my build.

They have my confidance.

Planning a 650 or possibly 750 upgrade.

blkngldbabe · 04-01-2010, 05:33 PM

WHat about tranny? Will it hold up to the torque and HP?

stratman2SSRS · 04-01-2010, 05:59 PM

The stock tranny will be more than able to handle it. Eventually I might upgrade the clutch.
I've got some new wheels and tires coming soon so the wheels don't spin so much.

Very nice car Stratman2SSRS!!! I'd love to hear it and see it in person. I've been reading the very, very lengthy Lingenfelter thread over the past few weeks as time permitted. It really seems like they have a quality shop with quality employees who really take care of every vehicle they build. I'm sure there are many other shops who provide similar care and quality, but there are few who actually add value to the vehicle by putting their name on the side of your vehicle. Shelby is one, IMO Lingenfelter is another.

When I find the Camaro I want in the US, I plan on having it shipped directly to them to have the Ligenfelter team give it a little added "boost" to it before bringing it into Canada.

That Lingenfelter thread has alot of valuable information, and alot of very happy customers posting on it. With over 120 pages to read you can sure get an idea of what a great shop Lingenfelter has.

If you find a US car and have them tune it up for you, you should look into having them get the DRL's set up for you. I'm sure they could do it pretty easily.

As long as the weather is nice, I will have the car at the meet in Kingston next weekend. See you there.

Great lookin fwd to meeting you and your lingen mods

Canadian_Stig · 04-03-2010, 01:34 PM

Yes, that and that thread keeps getting longer but there is lots of great info, some nice pics and plenty of great dyno numbers. Not sure if I'm going with the 550 (auto), 570 (manual) or 650 package.

That's a great idea Stratman, I'll definitely ask them to do that when it's at their shop. Definitely won't be hard for them to do and maybe even ask them for a quick detailed, "How-to" for others that may be interested.

Wish I could come out to Kingston and see it, unfortunately, I'm out of the country next weekend. However, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next meet your attending.
