You didn't think that Hennessey was the only big-name tuner meddling with the new Camaro did you? Give a big honky-tonk, mullet-swaying welcome to the 800 HP, turbocharged LS7-swapped Lingenfelter Camaro SS.
Not pleased with recently taking the back seat to Hennessey Motorsport in the LS-tuning circle, Lingenfelter has upped the ante by beginning development on its very own version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Their plan is to release five distinct power packages ranging from a supercharged 550-horsepower model all the way up to a monster 800-horsepower, turbocharged, LS7-swapped version that we're going to talk about a little more.
800-horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque. Those are big numbers no matter who you speak with and Lingenfelter knows it. The first order of business to transform the already stout 2010 Camaro SS into a fire-breathing beast is a removal of the stock 426-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and fill the empty hole under the hood with a Corvette Z06-sourced, 7.0-liter LS7. Now the LS7 already produces 505-horsepower, which would do the Camaro just fine, but Lingenfelter decided to go a little crazy (How 'bout a magic trick?) by taking the aluminum-blocked LS7 and slapping a pair of Garrett oil lubricated and liquid cooled ball bearing snails onto it. But we all know that adding big turbos doesn't necessarily get you very far, especially when you're pushing a big round number like 800-horsepower.
In addition, Lingenfelter has upgraded the LS7 with a Callies 4340 forged steel crankshaft with a 4.000-inch stroke, CNC ported LS7 heads, a multi-angle valve job, stainless steel intake valves, heavy-duty Inconnel exhaust valves, Competition cams with dual valve springs and titanium retainers, JE forged aluminum pistons, Manley 4340 forged steel 'I' beam conrods, a higher capacity fuel system with larger fuel injectors, Lingenfelter 304 stainless steel 4-to-1 headers and a Corsa stainless steel cat back exhaust to round out the mix. All of this is backed by a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty. Hot damn!
Not content with just offering engine packages, Lingenfelter has gone the extra mile in creating an aggressive body kit that includes a large front fascia lip spoiler, revised rockers, custom grille, custom hood with air extractors, a revised rear fascia diffuser with four exhaust pipes, rear tail lamp cover panel and a rear deck spoiler.
Lingenfelter is quite ambitious with its 2010 Camaro SS package, but apparently not ambitious enough to release a price or an exact release date, though you can purchase the styling package as early as this summer.
