OMG 1000HP 911 Turbo
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/09/tuner-c...-with-bolt-ons/
The ultimate sleeper
The shop has recorded 850 horsepower and 727 lb-ft of torque on the rolling dyno, equating to over 1000 horsepower at the crank. Real world performance should be mind boggling, with the car reportedly reaching 60 miles-per-hour in the mid two second range, blowing through the 1/4 mile in just 9.79 seconds at 146 mph. Pricing looks to be just as fierce, with the Sledgehammer package retailing for $49,990. While that's a lot of coin for a suite of bolt-ons, the performance would appear to speak for itself.
In addition to extensive ECU tuning, the SLEDGEHAMMER package includes SPI's in-house developed headers and sport exhaust, as well as SPI's MONSTER intercooler package (shown) and SPI-massaged GT30R turbos. More details on Switzer's SLEDGEHAMMER conversion can be found on SPI's website. The SLEDGEHAMMER package retails for 49990USD, and is available through SPI. Contact SPI for more information.

Yeah I'm a bit confused as to when the line is crossed from "simple bolt-ons" to more involved work. Technically a jet engine is a bolt-on. In this case the bolt-on and other work doubles the car's stock horsepower, so I think "bolt-ons" is misleading. It would be one thing if it was a 130hp car going to 230hp, but this is a world-renowned supercar doubling its already pretty exclusive factory horsepower club rating. But I digress...
I think it sounds good. The clicking in the track vid sounded like the rev limiter, which is what made it sound bad. It sounds fine to me in the dyno vid. But I do like that at least one tuner can keep its rebadged 911 name simple: SledgeHammer. None of this Gemballa Avalanche 900 GT-R Type-S Zero 52 black series 650T crap.
