Do you mean that it is making nearly 1000 wheel hp with stock pistons, rods, sleeves?

Yes. The 8 psi and 10 psi runs were with race fuel (of course), and I should clarify that I don't plan to run that much power on a consistent basis. I'll probably leave it on 4 psi most of the time when just driving around and the 8 psi (with race fuel) can be my "kill" setting. These engines make absurd amounts of power with relatively low amounts of boost (the high compression is much more efficient), but obviously there is a risk involved too with stock internals, and I don't want to push the edge of the envelope too far.

Yeah, I found the post on LamboPower after this one. That's awesome. Good luck to you 'pioneers' of stock motored boost!

The Ass-End of that car looks like the Monsters from the last Matrix.

Nice. I have been chatting with UGR about that setup without pulling the engine. If you dont mind - what was the cost for the kit without pulling the engine (if you could PM me or whatever).
UGR certainly seems like they are building nice cars. One thing that I kinda like about the new Heffner setup though is the placement of the turbos -- you can see them when you open the hood :-) (it's silly and wouldnt sway me one way or the other for something like appearance...but still...its cool :-))
How's the driveability and such?

Well I tried to send you a PM but I need a couple more posts to cross the magic 15 post threshold, apparently. Lol! I can't address driveability yet because I'm not going to get the car until Saturday, but from talking with other owners the driveability should be stock-like and very smooth. I'll update the thread once I get the car back, and I'll send you a PM on the pricing issue once I'm allowed to.

Excellent results! Very impressive for being a "non-built" block.
What is the factory compression ratio of the factory Gallardo V10?
Did you guys do a special headgasket to drop it a few points?
