I am tore on the Lingenfelter 427 LT2 or would I do a Supercharger? Prices are almost identical but just a few grand difference. Similar hp. Most likely the 427.

Right now I don't know much about anything to boost the power. I will get information here and elsewhere, when I buy/install.
 
I bought my clear carbon cover from jogon-carbon/China , on eBay. Be careful , he deceived me in telling me there was no surcharge on my part. I have to pay an extra 77.05$ for delivery!!! I was led to believe free. I made a complaint to eBay and they will take care of it, I was told. Update when I have one.
 
So we settle the matter, 77$, about the cover at 60/40 for myself. Has anyone else bought this carbon fiber see-through cover from them? I did not receive a gasket/seal with it. I read it is self sealing!? Tried contacting them but they do not work weekends.

He did the same to me. Also sold me a scratched up carbon piece which I had to return after going back and forth for a long time. Ended up blocking me. What a sleaze ball.

Slight scratch on the transparent part but negligible. Wife said keep it .

Thanks for the warning. He had the carbon engine covers on Amazon as well. Price is quite a bit cheaper then Paragon. Should I take the risk?
Besides the minor scratches, how is the fitment and quality?

Could not install, yet because GM didn't give us all the bolts to secure the cover for the engine. Will go get them tomorrow and finish the installation of the cover and see-through and let you know. I did see a video on YouTube and it looks great.
 
Cannot find the manifold bolts anywhere. Have to admit, Jogon China is giving me great customer service. I guess they regret their errors, on my order.
Cannot believe I will have to order them and wait 3 weeks at least to get bolts!!!
 
I ordered the bolts from Amazon and I got 10 for 9$, instead of 4.50$ each. I was worried about the fit but low and behold, they fit perfectly. Tomorrow I finish the installation. :Hurray: :Cheers2:
 
Job is done. My advice, is do it manually and do not exaggerate the torquing! The hard cover, carbon fiber, does not align 100%. I had to grind the 2 front ones back a little bit. The thing is, I found out after I had re-installed cooling tank etc. So before doing anything check the alignment. Here are some photos and they do not do justice. It looks great.

This is from Jogon? I might get the red one.
 
Well for now, I just bought a high flow filter for my C8 HTC. Supposedly adds 10 hps and 8 lbs of torque. Same shape as the original,so doesn't affect the warranty. Fits right in. Will see if it helps in the quarter mile.
