    Well I sold the Lambo and Aston. This is what is sitting next to the TR. The TR will hopefully never leave and this one is white knuckle fast. It has been boosted to 650hp.

    Very cool car. Ive driven them and worked on them here at the dealer. One we sold made it 400 miles then came back with $200K in damages from an off-road adventure into the woods. It was scrap of course. What upgrades were done? You can squeeze 1000hp out them without opening the engine.

    Thanks. The pulley was changed and reprogrammed. The power in these are simply amazing. Yeah your right about being able to get a lot more out of them without opening them up. Right now am stabilizing the monetary bleeding I took on this one. I will start some serious mods in the near future. BTW I really like how the carriers are coming. Owning a machine shop I am always please to see quality work coming out someones shop. I compete against some really ham fisted shops who only claim to fame is their cheap costs.

    Thanks. The TR is a different animal. I hadn't become attached to either the Lambo or the Aston, but the TR is different. I really like getting into it and working on it (a sickness I know).
