STAGE III  Kit

Port St. Lucie, FL
"On
the dyno, the car made 747 rwhp @ 4700 rpm, and we saw
about 20 lbs. He [the tuner] could not go any higher because the A-1000
pump at the time was not enough. We dropped the boost back down to 18 lbs
and made about 730 rwhp or so at about 6000 rpm. that's with a safe tune.
At the track, it did a 1.46 60 ft.....I was launching at 3800 rpm or so. I
was being nice for the first pass and shifting at 6000 rpm, and letting off
half-track......still ran a 9.60 at 134 mph. The car had more in it."

Dave started out with one of
HP Performance's first Stage I twin turbo systems, and ultimately ended up with
an HP Performance Stage III 9-second quarter mile beast!
Dave did the majority of the work on this beautiful car with assistance from
Race Car Builders of South Florida.

"The
turbo kit was one of the nicest kits I saw. Everything fit like It should;
I never had a problem with the kit. The boost came In very fast with the
twin 67's. I'm looking to get a street car now. I'm going to get a 2005 or
newer Saleen or Roush mustang, and I will be calling HP performance for a turbo
kit for that also." - Dave Villeaux
