Lingenfelter Confirms Twin-Turbo 427ci LT2 in Development with 1,300-HP Potential
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Just months after unveiling a naturally aspirated 427-cubic inch (7.0-liter) LT2 V8 upgrade for the C8 Corvette, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) has confirmed development of a twin-turbo version—a monstrous powerplant expected to produce more than 1,100 horsepower at the wheels, or an estimated 1,300 horsepower at the crank. The announcement was made by Brandon Baker, Lingenfelter's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, during a recent interview with Road & Track. He revealed that an early development mule has already accumulated several thousand miles of testing, and the team is waiting for warmer weather to complete final calibration. Based on the LT2 architecture found in the C8 Corvette Stingray and E-Ray, Lingenfelter's 427 upgrade starts at around $30,000, climbing to $35,000 with optional high-performance components including a revised intake manifold, throttle body, and exhaust system. The twin-turbo package, while still awaiting an official price tag, will add a significant cost due to the required upgraded fuel system and additional hardware. Perhaps most notably, the layout of the turbo system is designed to mirror the twin-turbo arrangement found in the upcoming ZR1's flat-plane crank LT7 V8, allowing Lingenfelter to meet its performance targets with just 15 psi of boost—five less than Chevrolet is expected to run in its factory halo car. LPE's naturally aspirated 427 already produces 700 horsepower without forced induction, making it one of the most powerful NA small-blocks in the market. The forthcoming twin-turbo version represents a dramatic leap in performance that will place it firmly in hypercar territory. While no official release date has been announced, the package is generating significant buzz among Corvette enthusiasts and tuning communities alike. Once finalized, the Lingenfelter TT427 is poised to be one of the most extreme and compelling aftermarket performance options available for the C8 platform.

Tangkak murder victim's mum had 'bad feeling' a month before tragedy
TANGKAK: A month before her daughter's death, Fatimah Seman had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen. That feeling became a horrifying reality when her daughter, in her 30s, was found dead in her home at Taman Cahaya near Sungai Mati in Bukit Gambir here earlier this week. 'As a mother, I just had this feeling that my daughter was going to die,' the 67-year-old said through tears when met at her home in Kampung Pengkalan Kota near Durian Chondong here on Wednesday (June 4). ALSO READ: Man remanded for suspected murder and arson Fatimah recalled that her late daughter, the second of four siblings, had called her on Monday (June 2), asking to come to her workplace at an oil palm weighing station to collect rice she had bought from Thailand. 'She seemed fine when we met, and I did not expect anything to happen. "But that night, I told my husband that we would be 'sent' something," she said, adding that her daughter had been married for about two years. She claimed the suspect in her daughter's murder had grown increasingly distant and controlling, even cutting off her contact with the family. Fatimah added that at around 4am on Tuesday (June 3), the suspect allegedly set fire to four vehicles parked outside her home. 'When police arrived at around 11am to investigate the fire, I told them that my daughter could not be contacted and I was afraid for her life,' she said. Tangkak OCPD Supt Roslan Mohd Talib said initial investigations indicated that family issues may have led to the crime. ALSO READ: Woman dies after husband allegedly slits her throat in Johor 'Investigations so far show that the motive for the attack was domestic problems. "The case is still under investigation, and we are identifying witnesses to assist in the case,' he said when contacted. He added that the investigation began on Tuesday after police received a report about several vehicles being allegedly set on fire by the suspect, which eventually led them to uncover the murder. 'Although we believe the murder occurred on Monday, the exact time is still being determined. "The victim was found unconscious and her body, with slash wounds on the throat, was covered with a blanket in the living room. 'We also recovered and seized a blood-stained knife believed to have been used in the incident,' he said. Supt Roslan said the 33-year-old suspect has a criminal record for an offence under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief. He also said the unemployed suspect has been remanded for seven days until Tuesday (June 10) to assist in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and Section 435 of the same law for causing mischief by fire. He added that the victim's body has been sent to Hospital Melaka's forensic unit for a post-mortem. Earlier on Wednesday, the suspect, wearing a purple prison uniform, was brought to a Tangkak Magistrate's Court for the remand process. While in the court holding cell, he began reciting religious phrases and screaming so loudly that he could be heard outside the building. Magistrate Lee Kim Keat issued the remand order following an application by the investigating officer from the Tangkak police district headquarters, which only took about 20 minutes before the suspect was taken back in a police truck for further investigation.

Shop assistant charged with bribery bid to free 2 detainees
KUANTAN: An air conditioner shop assistant was charged in the Sessions Court here today with attempting to bribe a policeman with RM1,500 to seek the release of two friends who were arrested for committing mischief last year. Hiew Chee Yong, 47, pleaded not guilty after the charge was read out by the court interpreter before judge Sazlina Safie. The father of two was accused of offering RM1,500 to a police sergeant attached to the Kuantan police headquarters as an inducement to release the two men, who were under investigation under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief. Hiew allegedly committed the offence at the Indera Mahkota centralised lock-up at 3.10pm on May 6 last year. He was charged under Section 17(b) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and a fine of five times the amount of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission deputy prosecuting officer Ezuain Farhana Ahmad proposed bail at RM12,000 with one surety and requested that the court order the accused not to contact any witnesses until the conclusion of the case. Counsel Ahmad Saifuldin Ab Rahman informed the court that his client earned a monthly salary of RM1,435 and was supporting his wife, two children and an elderly mother. Judge Sazlina set bail at RM8,000 with one surety and ordered the accused to surrender his passport to the court. She also instructed him to report to the MACC office monthly and to refrain from contacting any witnesses in the case. The court set June 26 for mention.
