Lingenfelter’s new Eliminator Spec S engine delivers 700+ hp for C8 Corvette owners seeking extreme naturally aspirated power.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is pushing the limits of the Chevrolet C8 Corvette with its latest high-performance offering: the Eliminator Spec S, a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter LT2 V-8 delivering over 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque.
This new powerplant, designed for both the C8 Stingray and the all-wheel-drive E-Ray, is currently the highest-output naturally aspirated engine available for the mid-engine Corvette. On the dyno, the setup produces 577 horsepower and 528 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, which Lingenfelter estimates translates to more than 700 hp at the crank.
To achieve this level of performance, Lingenfelter partnered with Callies to develop a set of custom components, including H-beam connecting rods and a forged crankshaft. The engine also features 4.125-inch MAHLE Power Pack pistons, a COMP Cam camshaft tuned for the dual-clutch transmission, and a stock-style oiling and scavenging system to maintain reliability under high loads.
However, this kind of performance doesn’t come cheap. The Eliminator Spec S package is priced at $29,950, with additional upgrades available. Buyers can opt for a $2,395 carbon intake manifold, a ported throttle body for $480.95, or a Halltech cold air intake for $795. Exhaust upgrades include a CORSA Xtreme system for $3,978.99 or CORSA headers for $2,495.
With its naturally aspirated design and big-block power, the Lingenfelter Eliminator Spec S offers a compelling alternative for Corvette enthusiasts looking for extreme performance without forced induction.
