Details of the most extreme Cadillac CTS-V yet to wear a Hennessey badge have emerged with the 2012 V1000 CTS-V Coupe.

Stopping the two-door V will be a set of large carbon ceramic Brembo brakes outfitted with 8 pistons up front and 6 pistons in the rear.

2011 Challenger Drag Pak Gets Viper V10, Gives Us Vision of Twin Turbo Venom Power

October 1, 2010 By 1 Comment

2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak V10

Today, Dodge announced their 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak. And rather than packing the outgoing 6.1 or the new “392″ V8 Hemi like you’d might expect, it’s being outfitted with the 8.4L V10 from the Dodge Viper.

With at least 600 horsepower and 540 lb-ft torque (Viper specs) on tap, the 512 cubic inch mill gives the specially-built and modified, drag-race ready Challenger more grunt to shoot down the quarter mile. But where the real fun begins is modifying the Challenger for more power and lower ET’s on the strip.

Anyone up for a 1,000+ horsepower twin turbo Challenger purpose-built to go 1,320 feet in the shortest time possible? We happen to know a few things about taking Dodge factory-built race cars equipped with V10′s and doing just that…

On the Dyno: VelociRaptor 600 Twin Turbo

August 5, 2010 By 1 Comment

The wait for a turbo setup on Ford’s new 6.2L Raptor is over with the completion of Hennessey Performance’s VelociRaptor 600 package for the 2010 – 2011 6.2 Raptor. Remember the teaser start-up video? Well now the truck has been tested, tweaked, dyno’d and driven… and the results are in.

The truck was very consistent during multiple test runs, posting up rear wheel horsepower in the 490 range on 6 psi of boost through a factory exhaust. To amp up the terrifying sound of the truck and to see just how much Ford’s stock muffler was holding the turbos back, a freer-flowing exhaust with Magnaflow muffler was added.

The experiment paid-out huge, allowing the system to flow dramatically better, and in turn, pick up power. After a few teaks to the tune and reigning in the boost levels to a tame 6.5 psi, the VelociRaptor 600 squatted back on its FOX Racing shocks and laid down an impressive 517 rear wheel HP and 525 lb-ft of torque on its 93 octane pump gas.

The 500 rwhp mark had been dispatched with little effort and was well on the mark for our VelociRaptor 600 upgrade’s 622 bhp / 638 lb-ft tq package rating.

Check out the twin turbo VelociRaptor’s dyno video below:

But we’re not done yet! Stay tuned for more news about the 6.2L Raptor coming soon, including a new supercharger application now under development for a new form of boosted fury.

Hennessey’s HPE1000 Twin Turbo Camaro Sets New Standard

July 6, 2010 By 4 Comments

It isn’t Hennessey’s first rodeo twin turbocharging the new Camaro (see the HPE800), but the 4th of July fireworks came early in Texas with our latest HPE1000 twin turbo Camaro hitting the Dynojet for a follow-up to it’s initial 855 rwhp 93 octane tuning session that warmed up its 427 cubic inch LSX engine.

Using C16 race gas for good measure, the HPE1000 was repeating its earlier performance with ease, able to make mid-800 wheel HP pulls on mild boost settings. After things felt dialed in enough, it was time for a cool down and a jump from 18 to 21 psi to see if it could crack the 1,000 wheel HP barrier without having to dial up the boost any further.

How did it go? Check out the video to see the final result:

1021.46 rear wheel HP and 1027.73 lb-ft torque… on the FIRST run, safe as can be. The ease in which it made nearly 1200 crank horsepower (at the motor) gave every indication reaching even higher numbers would come just as naturally. Certainly, the same numbers on pump gas are easily attainable with a few tweaks to the tune.
