Well, made it to Heffner's Performance Monday morning to pick up my
Silver GTS new and improved SC'd Intercooled Beast! How can I explain it, where do I start?!!
I guess the numbers first 722rwhp/682rwtq----yes, I am VERY VERY Happy! --Belanger Headers, roe HF, borla catback, Heffner SCi 9 lbs, 93octane gas.
Let me first say thanks to Jason Heffner for everything. He was easy to talk to and deal with the whole time. Before I decided on Heffner Performance he made time to answer all my questions, and to walk me through everything I wanted to know. Never did I feel like he was too busy to talk. Great experience overall! His new shop is huge, ready to pump out some monsters. Also, I met GaryA, thanks for all your help. It's Gary's car that was/is the test and tune machine for Jason. And what a friend Jason has there! Jason's work is nothing short of perfection! To walk up on my GTS and see that blower, intercooler, fuel rails, all the goodies under the hood was something I had been wanting for a long time. Looks great, what type of feeling would I have while driving it now?
OK, so Jason puts me in the passenger seat for a test drive of my new boosted machine. Yeah, I am ready, I know what to expect, going to be everything I have heard about from many Here....you know. Well, we get a opening on Jason's closed track and Jason really gets on it---Holy Sh$T, my heart went straight to my throat!
As prepared as I was, my head still found it's way to the Headrest! Don't know if we hit 140, 150,..I just know it felt amazing and we got there FAST!! I didn't ask Jason what I said when we slowed down, maybe "WOW", maybe "Uhh, power-gooood", not sure what I said, might not have said anything! Maybe I tried, but nothing came out! I just know that I was instantly more addicted than ever to my Viper! Good God, I now realize what everyone has been posting and talking about when it comes to Supercharged Vipers! Let's not forget that I haven't even driven my car yet!
To add to the addiction is the SOUND! OHHH, the sounds!
I really didn't expect that! I knew that it would be there, but the whistle during idle and with the pedal down, and the WHOOOSH when you are shifting gears is music I had never heard before from a Viper! Won't need my Stereo for a while
I got to drive halfway home and had a blast, but between the rain, construction and tons of cops, I was only able to enjoy the boost a couple times. Loved every second of it The Aston Martin DB7 convert didn't want to play, but was cool to see on the road.
I am hoping the weather here in NW Indiana gets better, as my car has been sitting in the garage ever since I got back! Yes, I have been spending alot of time out there looking at it! I could always look at my GTS, but now the looks with the hood up is, well, something special! Thanks again Jason!
Overall, from what little time I have driven it so far, I can say that I got more than I expected and my expectation were very high! The $$ spent was more than RIGHT for what I have now!
I will update after I get a few days of driving. Here are a couple pictures, sorry if the quality isn't the greatest, I'll admit to not giving too much time to photography!
