Did you read post 1? Especially the last sentence where he "is about to cancel everything" and wants feedback?

They have a secured fenced in area in Decatur, IN with about 30 Corvettes and Camaros out there, and I dont think it is an issue to leave it there. Mine was there all the time, and its fine.

In regards to Chris1122- what kind of power were you expecting? Depending on Auto/Man - driveline loss is about 14%, which would be 600rwhp on the 700hp package. The headers could add a little so long as it was tuned with them on it which I presume is what they did. Seems in line to me? Did you do a baseline pull? Should be around 505 stock and 627 with that package and headers seems about right IMO.

It's all good, man. I'm as guilty as the next guy for not reading through a post!

I was expecting closer to if not over 650whp. It's a manual. The only thing I'm confused on is if that package is pulling 623whp, why am I only getting 627 with headers and catback which are extra. It's not a big concern since I'm not done modding it yet but just curious. Others have hit 700 with a few less mods than me. At the same time my car could've been tuned low instead of almost being maxed on everything?

I'm beginning to think these Lingenfelter kits are not all their propped up to be, and members are paying for the name...

Chris1122 - a 700HP kit would be 602 at the wheels with 14% driveline loss. Adding headers increases flow, but also decreases back pressure, reducing boost in the cylinders. But still you've gained 25WHP over the kit - 745 Hp at the crank. IMO - that is VERY good for the few mods you have on pump gas. There are also supporting mods that would help - such as a new Heat Exchanger, or a coolant reservoir, colder plugs etc. I know I was maxed out with bolt ons on pump gas and made about 610 in my M6, before switching to e85 where I made 690whp.

They run very conservative tunes, thus the warranty.

True, don't get me wrong I'm happy with where I'm at. Especially since I bought the car like that. I was just curious about it. I did add a heat exchanger after I got it dynoed. I do plan on going e85 soon, are you running full e85? I plan on doing that an upgrading the entire fuel system with bigger injectors.

Does the Lingenfelter warranty cover a failure at the track?

I got 659 rwhp out of the ADM 750 package on 93 octane.
