    Dropped off my SL at Heffners Performance yesterday for some Twin Turbos :) Can't wait to get it back.

    Should make 850RWHP on 93 and 1000+ RWHP on 100 octane.

    Gorgeous SL, love the VI calipers and new bumper... When Heffner's done with it it should be amazing!

    I would like to say CONGRADULATIONS!!! I'm from Sarasota and have seen Jason's work personally on many occassions. You will be nothing short of thrilled every time you start her up. Some will argue for Underground, but IMO Jason Heffner's work is second to none.

    Enjoy her to the very best of your abilites!

    Peter



    P.S. here's a few of my personal shots of some of his work:

    I dont know if you use your SL as a DD but I do know there are some Gallardo owners that use it for a DD, hows the reliability with the TT setup? Its pretty much been said the gallardo is a pretty solid DD otherwise.

    By the headline of the post I though you traded in your Mercedes SL and got yourself some boobs.
    ...my mistake :)

    Do they install a switch in the engine management to go from 93 to 100 octane?
    We did some testing on a Porsche race engine and the only way the octane difference hit was when the computer was put onto a different program that supported the settings for the higher octane.

    Did you manage to hear the silver car? Sounded like the world's largest dentist drill! Badass.

    That is awesome.
    make sure they install a new fuel filter when they are at it already.
    where do you get the 100 though?
    another thing you can do if you get higher octane fuel buy the 105 or whatever you get in Orlando and mix it to make the 100octane. Usually they sell 105 for the same price as the 100.
    You may also want to look if you can find a gas station in your area that sells 93 without the 10% Ethanol. That actually draws on the RWHP. We did some tests on the Dyno and it was quite significant.

    Good luck.

    93 should be good enough for day to day, but it's nice to have the option to crank it up should I want to.

    This is the kit they are doing http://www.heffnersperformance.com/lamborghini/1050TTG.html

    The one with the rear clip off? You could hear that one from across the bridge!! Unfortunately I had the video setting of the point-and-shoot on the lowest quality without realizing and the video came out terrible. But you are correct, it was truly badass.

    looks like they know what they are doing. clutch upgrade, bearing upgrades etc. Very nice. Comes at a steep price though :)
