they have a 5yr/100k mi warranty with them... they'll only be conservative with them...

IMO the name-brand/styling/supercharger/warranty are a deal at $50-60k

Yeah I read about it last year but I don't think we've really talked about it on here.

If I wanted the status of a name-brand tuner truck, I would spend $10k on the base Lingenfelter package before I'd spend $16k on the Callaway. And if money is no object, the next level Lingenfelter is a supercharged 427 build (~$50k), followed by a 427 twin turbo (~$62k).

Obviously that isn't going to happen but I had to say it. I mean, there are a lot of superchargers you can buy with powertrain warranties for half the cost of the Callaway.

the people are uneducated automobile consumers... lingenfelter is no one to them... probably callaway too for that matter (probably the exact reason no one on this forum owns one)
