Callaway vs. Lingenfelter vs. SLP - Page 2

So Callaway is making a return to the aftermarket, doing packages again?

I was pretty disapointed when they pretty much gave it up to persue the C12.

Can't wait to see what body mods they come up with. The old C4 Aerobody was awesome!

I'd have to give the power advantage to LPE though. They've been working on the LS1 power upgrades for years now, at many different levels.

Not sure how much work Callaway has been doing on the LS1, other than the C12 motor & the Holden upgrade motor.

Also, since when does Lingenfelter offer GM certified packages through a certified dealer network?? Callaway does at over a dozen locations.

I'd be curious to know some of these locations that Callaway offers these packages. You say they are offered through dealers? Since their site is under construction the information is pretty vague.

Callaway Cars has a listing of authorized installers and service retailers - as mentioned above, give them a call

I just traded in my Mazdaspeed for a GTO and was not the least bit impressed with what Callaway did. I would hope that their other offerings would be a huge improvement.

They have exactly the same offerings that you have detailed in your last post and more. One of the key decision factors for me was that Callaway was the OEM provider for Holden of Australia for the H.O. optioned Monauros. All the motors were built here in the U.S.A. and shipped to Holden for installation. Additionally, though not necessarily on topic, Callaway did all of the turbo systems for the Mazdaspeed lineup of Proteges, also in an OEM partnership. So, as you can see, Callaway has extensive experience in the OEM marketplace. And, let's not forget the Callaway Corvette era in which the turbo option was GM RPO BK2. Here is a link for the Mazdaspeed summary.

Rather than casting doubt on the situation at hand, please do as I originally asked in post #5 and call Callaway for further details. Trust me, Callaway doesn't strive for the publicity like Lingenfelter does and their products still sell themselves. There isn't much, if anything, written in "bold" print about this topic. However, Callaway has much stronger industry ties as is evident by their past and current OEM based projects. Check it out. You'll be surprised that they have a tremendous market share unbeknownst to your staff. I close with this post. Wanna race

i'd be a little careful saying that lpe doesn't have manufacturers ties, they have worked closely with gm an many powertrain projects and its their intake that holley/wieand sells for the LS1. also i am told that john did a lot of the work with GM on fast burn vortec heads. i think LPE's reputation speaks for it self.
