The DOHC LT5 retains the stock engineering features. Mainly, Lingenfelter upped the cubes to 368, cut back the compression ratio to 8.0:1, ported and polished the heads, switched to a turbo cam, installed special liners, and blueprinted the rotating assembly.
    The stock 6-speed is equipped with a McLeod twin-disc clutch to handle the increased power. The suspension is also slightly modified for the awesome power and torque. A special chip for the suspension controller flips the shocks to the soft setting, with no compression damping, so the rear end will squat for good weight transfer.
    Dehnert commented, "If I don’t have slicks on it, I can be driving along in fourth gear at 50 mph and spin the rear tires when the turbos spool up."
