Quote from Underground Racing on another forum
"Stage 1 Race Version 1550 whp
Stage 2 Race Version 1700 whp
Stage 3 Race Version 1900 whp

Those #s above have been accomplished, not just estimated.

We will be at 2x2k if anyone is up to some late night runs.


FYI, about reliability, we have over 70 cars out on the road at this time with aprox 40+ in the shop being built. We have NOT had a single engine failure, stage 1-3. Our stage 2 and 3 comes with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty.

Anyone considering doing a TT build that is confused on where to send their TT Gallardo, I would visit the top shops and come here last, your decision will be very clear by the time you leave Underground Racing."
motor's hold up fine. Turbo's not so much

Last pull he made was 1150rwhp, but we change the intake that was bottle necking us. With time running out we could not test it on the dyno, the car was shipped back to us for the event. Friday morning the car was in Sealy, Chris and I took the car out to date log for the new intake. On the last test run right outside the track we smelt coolant, turns out one of the radiator hoses had came loose and dumped the coolant. With no tools or trailer we were force to leave the car there over night till a trailer could come get it on Saturday. So we have no new dyno numbers or track passes . But yesterday we found the loose hose and fixed it, the car is running good as new and hope to be on the dyno soon to hopefully break 12XXrwhp mark.
