Take a look at this Lamborghini Gallardo with a Twin Turbo setup by Heffner Performance Inc. It recently ran 11.05 @ 131.2 MPH at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida.

About three years ago, John Thomas purchased his first Porsche 928. It was a 1989 Guards Red automatic that came out of a collection in southern California with about 110,000 miles.

It was already one of the fastest cars of its time. Not too long after the purchase, he started looking at ways to build power. Stroker, supercharging and turbocharging were the options.

Rygen fell in love the latest generation Ford Mustang for it’s 67 tribute styling outside, 69 tribute styling inside, and the car in both V6 and V8 flavors was very impressive. He test drove both, but at the time, the V8 was not in the cards. After his financial Situation changed, he had to make a decision, get the V8, or stick with the 6 and go all out. Rygen decided to go the path less taken, and see what the Ford Mustang’s V6 can do when forcefed some additional air via a PowerHouse turbochager. Rygen called PowerHouse Automotive and Read More
