4:08
Performance Engineering is here to tell us more about it brandon welcome to Corvette today thank you Steve very
4:14
happy and honored to be here and very excited to talk to you about our programs that we have going on and what we may have coming across the horizon
4:20
here that's awesome brandon let's start off about this new Eliminator spec engine how was this thing imagined whose
4:27
idea was it and how did it come into being so this was kind of a a joint project through our team our engineering
4:33
team we knew that we wanted to build more power and torque out of these engines for the LT2 platform for our
4:39
customer base that is always striving for more power and for the customers that are striving for the reliability on
4:45
a trackbased engine we actually just had a few of these these engines finish up some track circuits we had one just
4:51
finished the one lap tire race per tire rack in that car we end up coming in fourth out of about 100 cars on a -ay
4:58
that we did with a 427 in it so it was a very cool project or program for that car it really made some headway and we
5:05
we did learn a few more things during the week a couple weeks ago for engineering and development on this LT2
5:11
platform man that sounds really cool buddy now this engine really reminds me of the good old 427 cubic inch
5:17
horsepower LS7 engines from the C6 Z06 days is that a coincidence it's not a
5:22
coincidence gm really had their ducks in a row when they designed the 427 in our early development we tried a few
5:29
different engine combinations for cubic inch bore and stroke for these LT2s obviously the 427 gave us a pretty tough
5:36
hurdle to get over with the oil pan clearance on these LT2s for the oil scavenging system they have in there so
5:42
we tried a few different cubic inches long story short the 427 was the happiest combination that we did so
5:48
that's why we stuck with it there's obviously reasons why GM did it back in the day as well but we went through our
5:54
due diligence we tried a few other combinations in a 427 a 4125 bore in a
6:00
4-in stroke was the happiest combination the torque curve was the best and it carried the power out the top for what
6:07
we wanted to see that's right now your team did some major work on the LT2 engine you took that engine you added a
6:13
new crankshaft new pistons and ported heads let's talk a little bit more about the details on all of those so we had to
6:20
go through a lot of engineering one of the biggest hurdles was the crankshaft itself obviously adding that 4-in stroke
6:26
with that oil system as I said before was a very tough one very early on through CAD data we ran into clearance
6:33
problems immediately so we had to design the crank we had to take down the counterwes a bit on it just so we can
6:40
actually clear it that lays the backbone for it from there the general heart is
6:46
what I would call it the cam shaft of the engine that is what dictates all the valve train movements on this engine and
6:53
that's what really lays the groundwork with the crank in this 427 so the cam
6:59
shaft plays a huge role in it because it dictates how we control clutch roll out
7:04
where power comes in how smooth we can have a roll out on the dual clutch transmission so we really took time in
7:10
engineering that cam shaft for this program as well that's awesome now tell me the horsepower and the torque numbers
7:16
for this engine so this engine here on 93 octane pump gas we do see 700
7:21
horsepower wow we see the 700 horsepower in our closed loop dyno cells that we
7:27
did so in the car we do require for that 700 horsepower a nice free flowing air
7:32
intake intake manifold exhaust we do like to see high flow cats on these cars we don't see huge number gain from the
7:39
high flow cats but we do also require nice full exhaust system for this 427 so
7:44
in reality it's a big air pump better air in better air out is where we get this horsepower from we've ran this on a
7:51
few cars with stock exhaust and we have seen horsepower numbers suffer because of stock exhaust so moving forward we do
7:57
require all the 427 cars to get an exhaust system with it we do like our
8:03
performance design our carbon intake manifold we do see gains from that and our newer offering the billet Wilson
8:10
manifold we do see pretty big horsepower gains with that as well both those options would be a good pairing for the
8:16
Wilson works on a coupe and a convertible and then our performance design intake manifold just works on the
8:23
coups for these at this time gotcha and this is not just for Stingray either is it correct we've done this on -ays as
8:30
well the -ray platform really takes this engine to a whole another level adding that 160 horsepower from the front drive
8:37
and it it really turns into some would call it a supercar territory it's a monster isn't it buddy it is it is
8:44
that's awesome well Brandon let's take our first break when we come back we'll talk more about this new engine from Linganfelter Performance Engineering
8:51

833-639-4231 i'm your host Steve Garrett with me is Brandon Baker the vice president of sales and marketing for
13:15
Lingfelter Performance Engineering we're talking about the brand new awesome engine that they've got for the LT2
13:21
brandon this engine takes the LT2 from 6.2 2 L to 7 L which is amazing does the
13:27
Eliminator Spec S work well with the rest of the drivetrain dry sump oil pam the TMIC dual clutch transmission and
13:34
all that stuff yeah so our LT2 engine here our 427 it is designed to go into a
13:40
factory chassis we do modify the oil pan in house the TMIC dual clutch transmission pairs very nicely with it
13:47
on our race spec cars we'll upgrade the clutches in them to a Dodson Supertock or sportsman clutch okay to handle a
13:54
little bit more power from it but as far as a drivetrain it's a pretty seamless integration that we do for it no
14:00
aftermarket controllers or anything is needed there we really designed this to be an engine that you can send anyone
14:05
out in it'll drive like a factory car you just won't have your four-cylinder mode anymore but I haven't had anyone
14:11
complain about that yet daytoday it's not operate the same
14:16
just once you put your foot to the floor you're going to have more power on tap and you'll have a lot more torque on tap
14:22
as well with it that's awesome now like you said before you guys put this engine in the -ray tell me how that went with
14:28
the -ay's motor in the front and the all-wheel drive at first it was a bit of a learning curve there's a little
14:33
obviously the learning curve from the front engine we did get around that pretty quickly they do pair very well
14:40
especially launching the car the car already launches very well and it's very quick a jot to 60 but this just adds a
14:47
whole another step to it as soon as your rear tires start slipping or spinning those front are right there to pull you
14:53
along and once you get up a little more in RPM that 427 just keeps you screaming
14:58
down the road it's quite the car to drive at that point i've driven many cars in my day and even for a naturally
15:04
aspirated car it is very very impressive to have that's got to be amazing now
15:10
with this Eliminator Spec S you can modify it for even more horsepower can't you tell me a little bit more about that
15:16
and what do you do to add more horsepower above and beyond the 700 horsepower that it comes with yeah so on
15:22
these 427s we still learn more and more every day on these combinations the CA
15:27
platform every day there's something that we're learning on them we're smarter the next week after the week before so we're continuing to upgrade
15:36
these illuminator spec S's and Spec RS for some of our race cars on the 427
15:41
market we're still playing with cam shaft combinations we've played with compression ratios where we're bumping
15:46
compression for a few guys we are now offering E85 on the 427 option we pick
15:52
up our 20 25 horsepower from that alone just a higher knock rating of that fuel
15:58
allows us to have a little bit more timing in it we're pretty close to where we can get these cars to run past our
16:04
6600 RPM limitation so right now we're limited to 6,600 RPM for the shifts
16:10
because the shift is controlled by the TCM and we do have ways where we can overcome that at this time that's still
16:17
an R&D and I have a few customer cars out there that we're testing with those guys as well once we're past that these
16:23
will be 7,000 plus RPM engines is where this 427 will truly shine and really
16:30
start breathing well but that 6600 RPM really had us limited before there's
16:36
definitely more to come we do run our carbon fiber intake manifold on these to pick up power the billet Wilson manifold
16:42
we do pick up even more power with that one we do require a nice exhaust system free flowing cats a nice airbox
16:50
generally we'd use the Halltech Hornet airbox we see good gains with that piece nice that's amazing now I should have
16:56
asked you this from the very get-go is this an entirely brand new engine or do you use that existing LT2 engine that
17:03
comes in the Corvette so we use the existing LT2 that comes in the car okay we do this on a core program so
17:10
generally we have about 10 of these engines in rotation at a time of those 10 I can speak right now eight of the 10
17:17
are spoken for i'll probably have the other two spoken for in a week or two but what we do all these cars that we're
17:24
getting in they're one two maybe 5,000 miles at the max so we take the engine
17:30
from the car we use that as a core and we put in already assembled dyno ran
17:36
tested make sure there's no leaks or anything on the engine dyno and that goes right into the customer's car at
17:42
that point we transfer over their electronics we put a new oil tank on there so there's no crosscontamination
17:47
or anything but everything will transfer back to the customer's car that's awesome by us doing this it cuts down
17:54
our turnaround time by about two 3 weeks in some instances so it's essentially an
17:59
engine swap if you were to bring me a C8 in 3 weeks i would have the car for 2 to
18:04
3 weeks opposed to 2 or 3 months on what it takes us to actually build the engine
18:09
these 427s they're built entirely by hand i have a guy on them we have 60
18:15
plus hours per engine to build these so they're very labor intensive all the bores are checked at six points there's
18:22
quite a bit that goes in we have almost a pamphlet of a build book that we can give the customers of every little
18:28
measurement we did on it so it definitely takes up time and that's why we do the core program on these and in
18:33
reality we're replacing all the parts in it with new pieces the only thing that
18:38
say is the block they get linehed we put sleeves in it they get lifter bushed as
18:44
well lifter bush helps on the core shift between the lifters and everything and we do those bushings so we can tighten
18:50
up the tolerances so we can have a higher oil pressure on them oh that's pretty amazing buddy now the big
18:56
question is everybody wants to know what's the price of the Eliminator Spec S and where can we get that installed
19:02
the engine itself for the program installed is 30,000 e-rays require a
19:08
little bit more so we're a little bit higher on a -ay but not bad a couple thousand dollar more on a -ay we do
19:14
these at two locations my Wix in Michigan and my Decatur Indiana i do also sell this engine as a core program
19:22
so I can send it to a local installer buyer near a customer if they're way out
19:27
of state or anything a lot of guys opt to have the car come to us so they can have our certificate our authenticity
19:34
paper and all that stuff with it our badges 90% of the time we get the car that comes here for the 427 but I do
19:41
still send the engines out just themselves and people do install them on their own well that all makes sense i
19:47
would rather have you guys do it than have somebody else that doesn't know exactly what it takes to do that put
19:52
that in my car that would be great right well Brandon let's take our final break when we come back we'll talk about more

23:54
833-639-4231 i'm your host Steve Garrett with me is my buddy Brandon Baker brandon is the vice president of sales
24:00
and marketing for Lingenfelter Performance Engineering we're talking about this awesome new engine that they've got for the C8 Stingray brandon
24:07
let's talk some more nuts and bolts you had to add additional ventilation to the valley area that supports the upper
24:13
scavenging system this was necessary wasn't it i mean you had to have more air right correct so we actually want to
24:19
alleviate air is is where it comes from oh we get a little bit more crankase pressure in the crank the factory oil
24:26
scavenging system it does pull it pretty well being a dry sump but we still did find some areas of issue down there
24:33
where we had to alleviate some more pressure we do ventilate the center valley of these engines to get some
24:38
ventilation out and we do pull it out through like the valve covers on these engines to alleviate that pressure we
24:44
did have a few early issues rear crank seals is where this came about and we freed up some power from this as well so
24:50
when there's too much air down there you're compressing more on the bottom side of the piston so when we alleviate that pressure it's just a little bit
24:56
easier for the piston on the down stroke gotcha that makes sense i'm not a mechanical guy but you explained it to
25:02
me and I understand that so that well done my friend also the CNC process had a lot of benefits for you guys as well
25:09
talk to me about that so when we go in and build these engines on a 4125 bore a
25:15
factory bore is only 4065 so we have to go quite a bit bigger on the bore itself that's why we go in
25:22
we cut the factory sleeve liners out of it and we put in an aftermarket sleeve in there the aftermarket sleeve is a lot
25:29
stronger a lot more rigid and we add some rigidity to the block for that reason so we go in we cut those sleeves
25:36
out we also lifter bore these blocks the lifter bores allows us to correct on
25:41
some core shift in there and it also helps us on oil pressure when we lifter bush them we can hone each lifter bore
25:49
individually to our set tolerance that we want from our engine builders and we can actually raise or decrease oil
25:56
pressure on some of these if we have a very tight tolerance it's basically quality control at that point as I
26:02
mentioned earlier we are on a core program for these so we don't want a customer on a 5,000 mi car getting an
26:09
engine from someone on a 8,000 mi deal when we go and lift or bush it new sleeves all the parts that any new
26:16
rotating assembly is touching is brand new pieces it's honed to spec it's
26:22
properly sized it's brand new the only thing that transitions over is the block
26:27
but these blocks they're not number matching like the old days and stuff there's no issues there there's no
26:32
numbers matching on these anymore i have people ask quite often about that as well why want my original engine and in
26:39
reality you would never know to be honest the CNC is very critical to this project without it we would never been
26:45
able to do the traditional 427 cubic inch we could cheat more and do a larger
26:51
bore and have a a smaller stroke but having the 4in stroke is the key to this
26:57
because as I said before we're limited to 6600 RPM for that shift event we just
27:02
couldn't go past it at the time hopefully here pretty soon we'll have a few things released on where we're shifting these things at 7,000 RPM nice
27:10
nice and the beauty of all this is you can use pump gas for this engine exactly so the pump gas aspect here at Ling
27:17
Felter Performance we strive on being OEM quality reliability and drivability
27:24
we don't want to have a customer that has to put a water meth tank in the car so he can run it and make the proper
27:30
power that he wants we don't want to make these cars run a race gas because you and I we could jump in one of these
27:36
cars on a random Friday run down to Florida for the weekend or for a week or go out west hit a trip to Vegas or
27:43
something like that and you don't want to be spending a,000 miles on the highway and having to buy race gas
27:48
cleaning out your maps we want these to be so street friendly that you can drive
27:53
in it go anywhere for some people these are pleasure cars some people they're commuter cars i've seen a few C8s come
28:00
in here with 50,000 miles already wow they weren't part of the 427 program they were just guys that wanted exhaust
28:06
systems or anything and they put it on and they just kept on driving wow that's amazing and you know what it would be so
28:13
cool to have one of those engines you know like you said going to Florida hitting Vegas or something i know me I'd
28:19
probably get stopped and I'd say "I'm sorry officer was I going a little too fast?" He'd say "No Mr garrett you're
28:25
just flying a little bit too low buddy if a Corvette owner is interested
28:30
