I'd get exact details from Dinan on what their rebuild service consists of. When I was involved with the GM F body crowd, the same was being said about Lingenfelter. I just know that a LPE 383 was a victim of a nitrous malfunction. A solenoid malfunction resulted in tons of nitrous being injected into the engine. Normally, an engine would be toast from this; I know first hand about this. But the engine just shut down. He pulled over. Let the car sit for a bit, resolved the nitrous leak, and fired the engine right back up.

Also, when some of the car mags were doing tuner shoot outs, companies like Vortex, Paxton, Callaway, etc were trailering in their cars. Lingenfelter drove his car (sometimes it was a customer's car) to the shoot out. The reviewers beat the piss out of the cars. And Lingenfelter drove the car back. Talk about producing power AND reliability.
