Has anyone got hands on experience with Lingenfelters stage 2 heads and their cam that can tell me if they have much valve train noise and also what kind of Horsepower this setup gives?
Thanks in advance!

If you like giving money away then go with them.I have yet to see an impressive H/C package from their shop.I am sure someone will say that if they touch the value of the car will go up.Yeah if its a vette but not an f-body.There are plenty of other sponsors who can do better for cheaper.Now turbos they have that down but NA <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> .

LPE stuff is generally geared towards emissions compliance and factory drivability and is built with high quality standards and a solid warranty.

With that said, I know 21st Century Muscle Cars in Dallas TX, (the only LPE authorized shop in the country), has made over 400 RWHP with a heads and cam setup. Thats all the specs I know, so givem a ring for more info.
