I heard the costs of what he had done were somewhere north of $140,000. That is ON TOP of the cost of the car...

Any idea of engine/driveline mods needed for a Lambo to handle 1500 hp? I wonder if the OEM pistons/rods/crank/clutches etc. have the beef, or like our cars, you have to spend a pile before you can run big boost.

Not that it matters, since I'm not exactly in the economic league to buy one of those cars.

I have all my information third hand, but I am pretty sure the car has a complete built engine, heads, etc. Keep in mind that is a 5L engine stock.

I'm sure I can't mention the business in here, but call them. It shouldn't be difficult to figure out who built it. A hint: if you're not above ground, you're _______ground.

Let me know. I may go too. Wake Arun up while you're at it. I won't run my car though. There's a ton of difference between the short bursts on the highway or 1/4 mile runs I make and a full mile.
I heard everybody was down 7mph from last spring. The winds change direction and that makes all the difference in the world.
