Damn I hate Henn. for being crooks. Obtain weak baseline numbers to exaggerate their b.s. horsepower gains. Buyer beware, "all that glitters, is not gold". If any camaro owner falls prey to this okey doke. They derserve it. Just my

according to motor trend about 2 months back hennessy was the most honest out of 3 other companies that built engines for the new camaro, challenger, and mustang. They re stated HP was only 30hp off from the dyno motor trend did. Where as the other two companies were well over 80-100hp off.

I remember hearing the stories about hennessy years...maybe he has spurts of dishonesty.

A stock Camaro SS can run a 12.9 pretty easily. With a few grand in mods it can reach 11's. It is a beast of a motor, and 426hp can be transformed into 550hp very quickly with a cam, intake, test pipes, exhaust and tune.

One of the great things about those huge pushrod engines... you want 100 more hp? Just cam the thing!

"Long Tubes" were the words you were looking for
