HPE700 Upgrade Package Includes:
• HPE Air Induction System Modification
• HPE Engine Management Calibration
• Professional Installation
• Dyno Tuning
• Hennessey Exterior Badging
• Serial-Numbered Dash & Engine Plaques
• 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Limited Warranty Available


Anyone want to guess the price? If you click the "more info" section, it takes you to a form where you enter your info, car, and "estimated budget".

But check it out... an intake mod and a tune gets you a serialized engine plaque. Jerry should be handing these things out, too.

Hennesey will do anything for money. If there's a market he will try to exploit it

last year that car was up for sale on ebay.

I think you will start to see more one off V8TT builds from shop who specialize in turbos. Modifying the cold and hot side of the turbo will be common once these cars start to run out of warranty.

Google his name and stealing and you can find plenty of examples of what's he's done to the enthusiast community. This was quite sometime ago but what irks me is that he's never tried to step up and admit his mistakes.

I guess he needs to expand markets to find more wealthy betas who just roll over when you screw them out of huge money.

This. I will never let him work on my car.

I might possibly purchase a part for install, if the price was good enough.

Hennessy is down the street from my shop. They have used our all wheel drive dyno many times for cars they did work on. They just purchased one for themselves, so we probably won't see them much any more, except for when they make high speed runs in front of our shop. (our street is one of the best out there for that)

Hennessy is only a name with that company now. Someone bought it and keeps him on as a face guy. They are now a trustworthy shop. Coming from me, that says a lot. I've met Hennessy on a few occasions and have not been that thrilled. BUT, I now respect the new owner and the work he's done with that shop.

Your car is now safe with that company. If you should ever have the funds to shop there.

They dyno'd it at my shop. (the shop I work at) It was a very good looking car. They brought the newest McClaren over too. (MP4-12C) Baseline Dyno. Lets just say the McClaren has more potential.

The gentlemen who brought the cars over were first class.

Let me first start out by saying that is not actually "MY" shop. It is where I work.

It is a few exits before you get to Hennessy's. Exit 718.

We are DD Performance Research. I am the fabricator there.

V12-Biturbo
Everybody else uses 18% They used 22% Driveline loss to fantasize 700 crank HP from 549 whp IE 549/.78 =703 if they used 21% it's only = 694... They didn't like reality at 18% which = 669 bhp.. So just modify DTL% to add 31 more BHP.. Looks like 2 wheel drive Dynojet... IE NO torque plot/graph so not Mustang/DynoDynamics etc etc

WTH does their crummy
HPE700 Upgrade Package Includes:• HPE Air Induction System Modification
add HP wise must be set of generic rebranded k&n type filters, as the OEM tubing & airboxes etc is completely STOCK.. What a joke to add POWERED by Henessy Try AMG powered & @ best merely moderately tuned by Henessy.. Note stock airintake shot from their dyno video..

Other tuners are seeing 600+ whp on this platform.. I'd love to know what all this costs? Prof installation? Of what? ECU dyno tune & 2 flat airfilters? Ohh wait the ghey badges/plate must be the majority of work & extra hp here..

Note: Their add, pro installation lol.. And notice Warranty ISN'T included, you have to pay additional fees as they say AVAILABLE... Not included..
HPE700 Upgrade Package Includes:• HPE Air Induction System Modification• HPE Engine Management Calibration• Professional Installation• Dyno Tuning• Hennessey Exterior Badging• Serial-Numbered Dash & Engine Plaques• 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Limited Warranty Available*

<<<@!1!@>>>

This makes a lot of sense, I was wondering why their *750hp* packaged CTS-V ran a lot slower than a bone stock 560hp 991 Turbo S.

Here's a video of Jonny Lieberman (of Motor Trend) visits Heneessy's shop. Old John doesn't look too pleased with the performance of his car when they run both at his private track (starts at the 4:30 mark):
