Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) is an American automotive engineering company specializing in high-performance automobile modifications, specifically engines and induction systems. Now headquartered in Brighton, Michigan the company was founded by and named for NHRA driver John Lingenfelter in Decatur, IN.[1] Over the decades since its founding, LPE has been creating high-performance versions of many GM vehicles, such as the F-Bodies (Camaro, Firebird),[2] B Bodies (Impala SS, Caprice, Roadmaster, Fleetwood), Corvette, CTS-V, GTO, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Escalade, Denali, SSR, Hummer H2, and Sierra. Furthermore, it has also created performance enhancement packages for the Dodge Viper and Plymouth Prowler.
In January 1998, MotorTrend tested a Chevrolet Tahoe modified and tuned by Lingenfelter, powered by a 396 (6.5L) cubic inch Chevrolet V8 and achieved a 5.1-second 0-60 time as well as a 0.9g lateral acceleration figure. The SUV completed the quarter mile in 13.8 seconds at 96 mph. These numbers matched the performance figures of a base model C4 Corvette and GMC Syclones/Typhoons of that era.[3]Motor Trend also tested an LPE-built Impala SS that had the same performance numbers as the last generation M5 (0-60 4.7 sec) due to its bored and stroked LT-1 (displacement rose to 383 in3 and horsepower rose to 425).[4] Another LPE vehicle was featured in the June 1996 issue of Car and Driver: A special C4 Corvette with a 427.6 in3 engine that attained a top speed of 212 mph (ca. 341 km/h) .[5] LPE's 2001 Corvette 427 twin-turbo with 800 rear-wheel horsepower accomplished a 0-60 mph acceleration in 1.97 seconds.[6] Another LPE vehicle that the company developed and marketed to customers which has been one of their most powerful vehicles offered to date was a 2006 twin-turbo Corvette Z06 with 1,109 rear wheel horsepower.[7]
In 2014, they expanded operations.[8]
The current owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is Ken Lingenfelter.[9]
