Heffner level 5 +++* ISC latest track driving impressions...........

[Paolo Castellano]

As you all know, Jason Heffner does not really have names for the packages he does, but mine feels at least like a level 5 +++*!

When you get the car back, you drive it on the street and you say to yourself, "Man is this Motherf***** Fast! It is obvious and undeniable fact!

How fast? You say, ====> FAST! Right? Of Course!

Now I have taken the car to the track that has some sweeping curves where you can really get into it if you know what I mean........

I can tell you all this: I used to be around 150 MPH before the braking zone before the supercharger. I now come out of the corner(cooler temperatures and all) on street tires in 3rd gear instead of 2nd like I used to. It is a long lefthand sweeper to a straightaway with the braking zone at the end...

With the supercharger, the power comes on soooo smooth that slightly before the highest g-pulling part of the curve I must shift into 5th gear(@ 150+ MPH) as to not hit the rev limiter. I exit the curve and stand on it like a ****, the car feels like it is very close to the limit of rear end acceleration/roadholding traction==> I hit 180 MPH even before the usual braking zone! ===> Unfff'n believable! I can only imagine what those Formula-1 guys must feel!

My hat is off to Jason Heffner for building such a bad ass supercharged monster!

Anyway, take care all and I am diligently preparing for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge!

Had a ride last night(in short holy sheet,just might S/C this winter.Also raced paolo from a second gear roll(I took the bust) without juice and had to back off in third,nearly blacked out as the sidepiped S/C blew by(windows down,top off).

Paolo, sounds like you are enjoying the Fresh Cool Air! I was just thinkng how nice it would be to have my Car out this time of year! Too bad my car is just sitting in the Garage in deep Sleep! While I am working hard over here in Tarvisio, Italy for another week or so, then back to my place in Napoli.
Any news in regards to the Street Car Challenge coming up? Testing and Tuning?
What tires did you decide to run?

 

[Torquemonster]

Wow!! Unbelievable - you are experiencing track speeds the superbike racers get on their racing bikes!

Casey, we have added a few more ponies and have been preparing for the USCC. I will be running the Hoosiers on the Purner wheels. I will talk to you soon, take care and watch out for the pick-pockets in Naples! They are brutal! LOL!

TOOOFST, thanks for the response! We have to go for a good ride when there is less traffic on a closed course so I can show you what the car can really do!

Paolo,
Take him on the course we went on. Pretty exclusive club huh. Maybe they should add that event to USCC. Glad to hear all is well. What a crazy machine that is.

Eric, what you say is so true! Actually the whole differential cover shattered first which broke the strap which broke the area of the 1/2 shaft where the clip goes in. The car is making awesome power! I drove it all the way from Chicago to Heffner's in Md and I will drive it to Norwalk from MD as well!
