25.01.2022 At LP we can fabricate custom exhaust systems to suit every application Here is a custom exhaust set up for a VX clubsport this week @thurra #lightningperformance #performance #exhaust #custom #fabricated #engineeredtowin #horsepower #mechanic #torque #hsv #clubsport #speedway #dragracing #dynotuning #hptuners #manta #extractors

24.01.2022 With space at an absolute premium due to the mounting of the external oil pump on this race engine, there was no room to fit a connector on the crank-angle-sensor! The innovative solution was to crimp the wires with the correct pins then set the wires in place using a special oil and fuel resistant potting compound. The flying lead was then protected in fire resistant heat shrink and terminated using a Deutsch DTM 4-way connector.... #innovation #lateralthinking #engineeredtowin #deutsch #quality #reliability #highperformancewiring #yougetwhatyoupayfor #lightningperformance

24.01.2022 Cylinder head sealing is often an overlooked area when building a high performance engine. Higher cylinder pressure (caused by large camshafts, high compression ratios, turbo/superchargers and nitrous) requires a more robust cylinder block to cylinder head seal in order to contain the increased pressure. In this particular build we have used Cometic "MLS" (multi-layer-steel) head gaskets and an ARP head stud kit to ensure there are no sealing issues and this race engine conti...nues to circulate lap after lap. #cometicgasket #arp #cometic #arp2000 #highcompression #speedway #modifiedsedan # horsepower #lightningperformance #torque #engineeredtowin #racing #speed #enginebuiler #precision

24.01.2022 FAILURE FRIDAY! - This week’s edition of Failure Friday is brought to you from deep inside an LS1. This poor engine suffered 2 spun big-end bearings which was caused by a camshaft failure contaminating the engine oil. - Ultimately, this failure could have been prevented by regular oil changes using premium quality Engine Oil and Filters. ... - Here at LP we ONLY use premium products including Castrol lubricants and FRAM filters. - #lightningperformance #fail #friday #ls1 #ls2 #lsa #tuning #dynotune #engineeredtowin #enginebuilding #noweaklinks #mechanic #premium #speedway #dragracing #gm @ Delacombe, Victoria, Australia See more

23.01.2022 Dave bought his VE SS to us to inspect and diagnose an abnormally noisy engine. . Upon disassembly it was found the engine was quite unwell with failed lifters/camshaft and excessive piston-to-bore clearance!! . We had the block honed and the crank re-ground, Teflon coated the pistons to obtain correct clearances and fitted a performance crow cam kit. ... - To complete the package we fitted a VCM intake, Ramjet REX headers & high flow cats and an Xtreme clutch kit to round out the package. - The result- 334kW/530NM, and one very happy customer - Crow Cams Australia Pty Ltd VCM Performance Australian Clutch Services Xtreme Clutch GM Motorsport Genuine GM Parts Fram Filters - #lightningperformance #dynotuning #dyno #holden #ss #noweaklinks #cammed #engineeredtowin #streetmachine #results #horsepower #torque #mechanic #ballaratcity See more

21.01.2022 Been a hectic few weeks here at LP - We had the pleasure of working on Vass’ mint SSZ Commodore. - We pulled the engine and gave it a full reseal.

14.01.2022 Recently we had Justin’s SS Wagon in for a cam package . Upon disassembly the dreaded camshaft bearing failure was discovered!!! . The only rectification for this disease is a full engine rebuild. The silver lining in the whole situation is that we were then able to employ our new LP custom piston program which enabled a much larger camshaft to be fitted ... . A killer combination assembled with premium components from @crowcams @pacracingsprings, @arpbolts , @gmperformance.us, Blackwell race engines, @kingbearings , TCE torque converters , @drivenracingoil , @fram_filters And @castrolaustralia lubricants resulted in a phenomenal 344rwkw and 542 eng NM of torque. Swipe for dyno graph. . A true testament to the never ending crusade taken by LP to optimise EVERY engine we build and tune. . Absolutely remarkable figures through a 6 speed auto with a 3800 RPM stall converter!! . #lightningperformance #cammed #ss #holden #streetmachine #dynotune #dyno #horsepower #engineered @ Ballarat, Victoria See more

06.01.2022 Throwback to April last year when we carried out extensive R & D on the Lightning Performance L98 head/cam Dyno mule. 3 days of testing different Cold-Air-Intakes, inlet manifolds, extractors, exhaust systems and mufflers resulted in excess of 40+ dyno pulls above 550HP. The 6.0L combo tapped out with a peak of 570HP and nearly 520 ft-lbs of torque! What is even more impressive, these numbers were made with a full intake and exhaust systems, Air filter to exhaust tips!... #lightningperformance #engineeredtowin #L98 #horsepower #torque #dyno #tuning #speedway #highperformance #mechanic #racing #camshaft #precision #street
