04CHASE Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 ok now how much does that costs? it doesent mention you will need to get rid of your clutch fan and also get a new water pump. im sure better can be had for less imo.

VMaxDenali Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 some of us don't have clutch fans I think complete engine & transmission was $8G's??? Better double check my numbers to make sure by visiting their website. Just visited the Lingenfelter site too....remember these guys who built those twin turbo vette's??? Anyway they have a 475HP package for $8G's which consists of a supercharger, injectors, reprogram, tune and dyno all installed at that price.....now if you want a full 500HP package is goes for almost $16G's!!! Double the price to tweek out 25 more HP!?!? WOW! www.lingenfelter.com and go to their "packages" page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 i dont even have 8 g in my motor and putting out close to 600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 For a little over 8 g's im having a 436ci reesleeved ls2 built that should make anywhere from 625-650fwhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMaxDenali Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Does your "little over $8G" include a brand new "built" transmission? This package includes the complete engine & transmission.....how much could I sell a bone stock LQ9 6.0L, lets use my 2006 for example with 2000 miles on it, complete with transmission??? I'm guessing at least $5500.....their's an LQ4 on ebay complete with tran & 60,000 miles for sale by a boneyard for $6500...so I may be a little conservative with my $5500 figure!?!? My point is for under $3000 one could be pushing a NA 475HP 6.0L down the road. Now if you want to go the supercharger route and get a solid 450HP from your otherwise stock LQ9 your looking at a bit over $5G's. Just food for thought.....I'm not suggesting this is for everybody and I'm sure somebody on this site knows a guy who knows a guy who can get________ for _________.....you can fill in the blanks!

mwalls54 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 well a couple of years ago i ran a custom grind cam $400 with upgraded spring $200 on stock heads. and a stock tranny with a tq converter $200 and i ran mid 13s for less than $1000. my new setup is some where in the 500+hp. its a 408 $3500 with all arp bolts, afr heads $2500, you can get by with alot cheaper heads. and a built tranny for around $2000. thats a total of about $8000 and once i get it dialed in I should be in the high 12s n/a. All you are doing when you pay lingenfelter for their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I agree that you pay for the name when you're talking lph products. I also think that in their case you're buying tested and proven performance. Tag with that one of the best companies out there that have spent numerous years and dollars testing their designs on nearly all GM vehicles. I think if money was not a huge issue for me and it was feasible to go where they are, I'd use them over most companies out there. JMO, and I'm a person that likes doing most of my own work.

All you are doing when you pay lingenfelter for their name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought a used cam from someone... what was his name??? something wall... I couldn't pass it up at the used prices, plus I'm adding 5.3 heads ported/polished with 2.05/1.60 valves, 1 3/4" headers (AS&M used), electric fans, TB converter, custom 4" CAI... I'm under a grand with the hardware, but HPT puts me over the top (not by much since I went in with 2 other guys to buy it). If I can't get low 13's with that, I've got a little shot of juice too. WHEN the trans goes, it will be upgraded with red clutches/bands and a shift kit durring the rebuild. That's when things will start to get expensive....
