Further gains could have been made by going to a narrow front tire and disconnecting or removing the front anti-roll bar but because the car belongs to a customer and the time available at the event, we choose not to make these changes. Despite the considerable potential of the Vipers, none of the V10 equipped cars were able to put the power to the ground. Two of the fastest Vipers were running in the mid to high 11's. Another vehicle that attended the event was a customer in a Lingenfelter 540 CID BBC equipped Suburban. In new product news, we are well underway in developing engine packages for the LS1 Corvette .
New cam grinds cylinder head port work are being tested.
Increased displacement engine packages are also under development. In addition to the low restriction air filter mentioned in the last issue, we now also have high performance brake pads, larger anti-roll bars, stiffer springs and magnesium wheels available for the 1997 LS1 Corvette. We hope to see many of you their. LPE is happy to announce we have added an additional sales person, Chris Buchs, and we will be expanding our hours to include after hours sales. We hope this new addition will make it easier for our customers to reach us - especially during the busy summer season.
