Since the publication of the C8 Corvette With a mid-engine, the tuning scene has worked intensively on the Vette. Since then there have been various performance improvements Compressor and turbo kits. And the team from Lingenfelter Performance engineering is also part of it, but takes a different direction more displacement. Lingenfelter is currently working on one Stroker engine upgrade to 7,0 liters, for the 6,2L V8 LT2, which ends up being more than 700 PS should enable. For an athlete with a mid-engine, this is anything but bad. According to a report by Motor Trend is the Stroker upgrade However, this is not an easy task due to the special requirements of the mid-engine concept. But thanks to engineering, the project is already delivering good results. The Increase in displacement Of course, to seven liters was not an easy task, especially since the engine was factory oil system and the awkwardly fitting one sump had to be maintained.

The engine also has to be reliable 91 octane fuel run and with the factory Eight-speed dual clutch transmission harmonize. A special one has been developed for this crankshaft with eight counterweights that match the factory one Oil separator, the channels and the sump is compatible. The Stroker engine set also includes Callie's 6.125-inch H-Beam connecting rods and Mahle 4.125-inch pistons, as well as a CNC machined one Block with bigger ones sleeves and Tappet bushings. Plus there is High Performance Injectors and High-pressure fuel pump. On paper it delivers Lingenfelter 427 tight 704 PS & 814 NM torque, with which he C8 Z06 with the 5.5L V8 LT6 naturally aspirated easily surpasses. We are excited to see when the engine will come into the vehicle. Photo credit: Lingenfelter Performance Engineering
