you realize.. you actually send your car in to be worked on.. they do all the work.. and the package price is just for parts.. labor isn't included and it's about 150 hours of labor at (rough estimate on national average) $83 an hour.. you can order the package and have everything sent to you however you send your heads and stuff like that back as core items.. but you don't get a warranty..

i've used parts from companies like lingenfelter, callaway, ect.. but for the price to performance.. it is ridiculously over priced.. however if you purely have the money to spend or don't have the know how of turning your 500hp 427ci ls7 into 660hp.. go for it.. a 160hp increase for $18,000+ worth of work.. i recommend you just buy a new crate motor from a lesser known performance shop such as vengeance racing..

Even though John Ligenfelter himself has been dead for almost six years, his company has continued to deliver top notch work. If you got the cash to spend on this kind of work, you won't find a better place to have it done. A friend of mine had a John Ligenfelter built 4.3 liter V6 in an S-10 (Corvettes are not all he worked on) that was insane fast, 12 years later and still going strong.
