BRIGHTON, Mich. July 27, 2015; Corvette owners who crave more performance and power from their C7 Z06 LT-4 engine, and an even greater adrenaline rush when behind the wheel, can satisfy their need for increased power with a new Stage 1 engine package from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering.

Lingenfelter's C7 Z06 engine package ups the LT-4's horsepower and torque without sacrificing drivability, while providing improvements in both throttle response and acceleration. Created with Lingenfelter's signature attention to precise detail and quality, the 6.2L engine package increases the amount of boost the LT-4's 1.7L supercharger makes, raising horsepower from 650 stock to 720 horsepower, with an increase of peak torque to 730 lbs. ft.

The kit includes: Lingenfelter LT1/LT4 dry sump damper, Lingenfelter 9.2-inch 15 percent overdrive supercharger drive pulley, supercharger drive belt, 100mm idler pulley kit, high flow air filter, 170-degree performance thermostat, GM crankshaft bolt, handheld programmer with Lingenfelter-designed tune for the LT-4 power package, professional installation by Lingenfelter-trained technicians as well as chassis dyno testing before/after installation with dyno graphs and video documenting the performance gains on USB drive. Special Lingenfelter branding, comprised of chrome fender badges, interior badge and personalized stainless engine badge, is added, along with Lingenfelter's official certificate of authenticity. The package is backed by a one year/12,000 mile warranty on the added components.

The Lingenfelter Stage 1 LT-4 kit boosts horsepower and torque across the entire power band, which translates into a noticeable difference in acceleration. Throttle response is also greatly improved, with the LT-4 now responding instantly to pedal input. The result is a Z06 Corvette that feels more like a race car on a road course, yet with the manners and temperament of a car that can easily be driven comfortably daily on the street.
