Yeah, it's true. Somehow when we were in Florida for the St. Petersburg race my car went from the trailer into the garage at Heffner Performance.
When I got home the blower was like this:
The car was like this at Heffner's:
And now:
Shiny Stuff:
Turbo Headers
It made 837rwhp. The signal wasn't reading so I don't have a torque number. It's fast. Really, really fast. First gear is actually usable again because of the way the power comes on, which is really nice. I can now floor it in 1st and not worry about blasting off the tires at 3k. Second gear is what I like to call the "holy $*#!" gear. It was really nice today with 70+ degree temps and actually hooked second gear pretty well. In the cold weather, forget it. 3rd and 4th can be matted to the floor regardless and they rocket you ahead.
The car sounds awesome with the stock exhaust back on it. Very sleeper-ish. Not that you'd expect any GT to be slow, but you wouldn't expect it to be that fast at that db level either. The turbo system makes an addicting whistle as well as you raise the revs in normal driving.
As you can see, it looks really good too :wink
Well, that's it. Heffner has transformed another GT. I was number 20. Thanks to Jason and his crew for turning out my car in a ridiculously short period of time. They started on Thursday. I was home Tuesday with a killer twin turbo GT. Impressive to say the least.
I can't wait to a) turn it down a few twists and take it to the road course and b) fill it up with C16 and turn it up a twist. Knowing that Heff's dyno reads a little low, I don't doubt it will do 850+ on pump on most dynos and will probably exceed 1000rwhp on C16.
What can I say? :huge:
