That doesn't look like the smoothest track he is on and looks like he's bouncing around a bit. I imagine the car was ordered without the mag ride so Hennessey could put a coilover or what ever suspension mods on for testing. The mag ride would have smoothed things out a bit for Heinrecy on his laps around there.

That Heinricy makes it look so easy...that is how good he is. Nice job, engine sounds great, pulls real hard. I wish all the guys that think they need dct's would watch what a car with lots of torque does in this video. Thanks for sharing video.

Most of that "track" is the return roads for the drag strip. John does make it look easy.

Incredible video from an incredible tuner!

When will you be releasing your $5,000 custom headers that you used to have your website???

I have to ask. I know you have 2 packages that achieve the same 600 horsepower, but just go about it differently. One being supercharged, the other NA, heads and cam. For somebody that wants the most reliable way to get to 600 hp, which package do you recommend? Which one maintains the most stock like street manors? I had a terrible experience with doing the heads and cam in the past, but am curious as to which of the two is actually the most reliable with the least amount of added stress on the engine, assuming both are done correctly.
