I am at Heffs shop at least once a month. What car is yours in his shop? Jason installed my 1000hp halfshafts after I blew the first set in Dec at the Bradenton track.

Sweet ride. My buddy Jerry had a set of TT's dropped in his "G". I love the way it launches. He likes it better then the FGT he owns which was Chads old car. On that conversion they removed the stock S/C and added TT's and Jason FGT exhaust system.

Did you go the TT route?

Awesome numbers. I was in Jasons shop last month and he was showing me the G he bought for himself when I spotted a superleggera. Your car is awesome. When are you picking it up will you be driving it home or transporting it? I know Chris drove Jerrys car from Jasons shop to Texas and talked for a month about the awesome ride.
