Open letter to a future customer:
I can't say enough good things about Jason Heffner! The first time I met Jason was at a race in Columbus, Ohio. He was there with a customer's Viper. Although we were racing against each other, he was extremely helpful and I could tell he was in the business for more than just the money. This first meeting would also be the only time I would be faster than one of his cars, as soon after we would meet again
when he did the record smashing work on Chad's Viper. After seeing the quality of workmanship and the unbelievable numbers generated by Chad's car, I was awestruck to say the least! I wanted more than anything to have a similar car constructed, but finances wouldn't allow it at the time. I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for, and after two other shops did work that was unacceptable or took too long to complete the work, I did what I should have done long before. The first vehicle I took to Jason's shop was a Viper that needed an AEM installed and tuned. Jason told me the price ( which was cheaper than other shops!) and how long it would take. Being the skeptic that I am, I figured it would take twice as
long if I was lucky. Not only was the bill for the quoted amount, but the car was completed before the time frame allowed! Finally, here was someone who understood customer service! For my next project, I told Jason that I wanted the quickest Viper in the county. He told calmly said "no problem" and we began an adventure that continues to this day. The car has exceeded my wildest fantasies, and has done things most people cannot believe. We have taken it to the extreme, and the level of preparation by Jason and the guys in the shop ( TJ, John, etc) makes it seem too easy sometimes. I have more projects underway now, including another turbo Viper, and I know that Jason and the crew will turn out another masterpiece. No matter who works on the car (TJ, John, George, Aaron, or Zach) the work will be show quality and top notch. No matter what project, Heffner performance will exceed your expectations.

In 2005, I heard about some guy in Florida doing Twin Turbo Vipers. I had already purchased a nitrous kit, but never installed it because it seemed like an overwhelming task. I called Jason Heffner and asked, how can you possibly make 1600hp, run hi 8 sec 1/4 mile and be streetable? He showed me some videos and 5 minutes later, I sent the deposit check. Heffner had the car over the winter months, and sent it back just in time for our Buffalo springtime. First test drive. Oh boy, yikes, are you kidding me!! Do not hand the keys to your kids. I am a professional Pro Stock Motorcycle racer, but I was very surprised at the performance. Even more, I was surprised at the streetability. Check it out, I drive it every day. The programming is spot on. This thing is a hit at the car shows. My wife loves to wax the car. If I could just get her to change the oil. Dealing with Heffner has been a pleasurable experience, especially when I feel I got more than I paid for. This thing is a trip, thanks Jason.
Sincerely,

Heffner Performance has been a tremendous asset to the Ford GT community. Having dealt with over a thousand Ford GT owners since starting the Ford GT Forum in 2005, praise for the professionalism and results delivered by Jason's team has always been frequent. Whether it's seeing the Heffner Twin Turbo GT laying waste to the competition in Car and Driver, or enjoying the results of driving my
own Heffner-modified Ford GT, I couldn't be happier to recommend them. In conversation with the engineers at SVT who designed this fantastic supercar, one
of the chief players in the program told me if Ford had gone twin turbo, they
couldn't have done it any better themselves. High praise indeed.

I have been extremely pleased with my Heffner Twin Turbo Gallardo. By far, this is the best performance upgrade available today. It has turned a great car into a super car!! If you want to go fast, but still want a car that is reliable and very easy to drive on the street, look nowhere else.

Hi Fellas,
I am writing to let you guys know my thoughts on my Heffner Superleggera TT. I received the car last weekend and have managed to put around 800 miles on her. I just arrived back home and have washed her up, onto the lift, and ready to write.
I want to start off by saying thank you to Jason Heffner and his entire team Aaron, John, and the rest of the guys. I had contacted Jason in February regarding this project and from the moment we spoke I knew he was the man for the job. I have to say that this has been the best experience I have had to date regarding any car modifications I have done. Some of you know me and can appreciate this because when it comes to car modifying I have a real problem. The problem is that I cannot stop and I am thankful to have a wife so accepting of my crazy behavior. This experience is bitter sweet because it was such a blast along the way that I am actually saddened that it has come to an end.....well sort of. Jason was very informative along the way and kept in contact with me daily regarding the progress of the build. When I received the car Jason called me a number of times to see how the car was running and if I was happy with the build. He is a true gentleman and an accomplished business man and this has been proven in the product that was delivered to me.
First and foremost the quality of the work is incredible. I chose to have the piping done in black and the crinkle finish matches the factory finish exactly. Other than the Heffner name on the intercooler one would not be able to tell the difference between the factory components and the Heffner components. The work is so clean and neat it is unreal. I find myself going into the garage and taking a peek at it every couple of hours. The work done under the front bonnet including the cover that is fabricated/wrapped to hide the coolant tank and pump is beautiful. All around the workmanship deserves an A+.
Now to the best part.......the drive!!! This car is an absolute BLAST to drive. I have never driven anything like this car and will find it hard to believe that there is something better. The excitement when getting behind the wheel of this car and actually laying your foot into the pedal is nothing like I have ever experienced. I know I sound like a little kid but it is TRUE!! This car is a beast and the sounds are incredible. It sounds like a jet fighter taking off. I find it hard to not lay into it constantly because it is such a rush. The car has retained all of it's factory like behavior and when you just want to cruise it does not even sound/feel like there are turbos back there. It is so nice knowing you have all that power on tap when you want it and the best part is that it is manageable. I was worried about not being able to use all the power but this is not the case. In all 800 or so miles I have not felt unsafe once. The power is sooo deliverable and the car stays planted. I have read these testimonials and much of the same reactions but it is not the same feeling until you get behind the wheel. Drivability is an A+ as well.
I have yet to fill the tank with race fuel and flip the magic switch but I should have fuel this week and will give my impressions after next weekend. I am hoping for good weather next weekend and looking forward to the race gas experience.
Once again thank you to Jason and his team!! Thanks for building such a great car!!!
