At least this much:
That's 4, 8, and 10 psi, as shown at the upper left. Major props to Kevin, KC, John, and the rest of the gang at Underground Racing for exceeding my expectations! I'm tempted to leave the rear bumper off:

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!

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?

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?
