Lingenfelter
Performance Engineering didnt happen overnight. Although he
seems like an overnight success, John Lingenfelter has been racing and building
competition engines for over 25 years. One day we all woke up and wanted Lingenfelter
engines and tuner Corvettes. Today, he is the consummate tuner, predominately
for late-model Corvettes but also for Camaros and Firebirds, or just about
anything GM, not to mention Vipers.
LPE
is located about 30 miles south of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, in a small town called
Decatur. As we cruised into town and made the right-hand turn onto Winchester
Road, we started looking for the Lingenfelter sign but never saw it. "When
we added onto the shop five years ago, we took it down and never put it back
up," LPEs Tim Dyer explained later.
