530 RW HP Hennessey Camaro SS Supercharged Video
 





http://hennesseyperformance.com/images/Pic6.php?id=74




Stock it made 378 rear wheel hp. So we gained around 150 rear wheel hp and 140 rear wheel lb-ft torque with the following upgrades:

Magnuson Supercharger (6 psi)
Corsa Stainless Exhaust
Hennessey Cold Air Induction
Hennessey Tune

I would call it the Camaro GT600 since it is around 600 crank HP .. :)

So with baselines of 378 at the wheels and 426 at the crank, assuming the same % drivetrain loss, that works out to be 597hp. Work on that tune to get it up to an even 600 hp!!!

Yes I know dynos are just tools for tuning and internet racing but pretty cool nonetheless.

and it will only cost how much?

That Corsa sounded different than what I expected. I thought it was going to sound like the C6 exhaust.

Wow! Now those are some numbers!:respekt: That'll beat a GT500, and you'll save a couple thousand. But how do you guys think this will affect the MPG?

If you can keep your foot out of it, it might actually improve MPG...

But with the TVS2300 on there, keeping your foot out of the firewall is asking a lot.

:D

Camarofan123 05-16-2009 01:12 AM

I have one question, why is the engine moving around so much? Are the motor mounts loose or something? That doesn't look normal to me.

lol no they just need some stiffer bushings now that they added so much torque

Chevy seems to be pretty anal about reducing interior noise and vibrations based on all the reviews so far. No doubt one of the key contributers to NVH reduction is squishy motor mounts.

Dentyneice 05-16-2009 08:36 AM

What would you need to get to stop the engine from rocking like that?

Yeah, you keep believing that.

I don't know how they teach math where you come from, but an unpolished blower alone is going to cost you, according to their site, $6800. (If you want the polished one in the video, fork over $7500). On top of that, this car has:

Corsa Exhuast System: $1450
CAI System: $395
Tune: $75?

If you just add up the unpolished blower, CAI and exhaust, your looking at $8600, not counting any labor or install costs.

Still, that's not a bad price for the power it makes.

You can use "Solid" engine mount, but man you feel the vibration and every time the AC comes on, it's like you got kicked from behind. This rocking WILL break the engine mount soon or later.

This is very true, but i'm willing to bet there will be a much cheaper CAI available in the near future, probably a better design than the Hennessey, too. And there will be cheaper exhausts than $1450 that will accomplish the same thing. But yes, it's definitely more than $7000 to get those numbers.

Didn't Hennessey already dub this one a HPE550?

thanks for a level head.. . . and some of these guys want a SC Z28. .. yeah right. Who is going to fork over a extra 10-15k when there was complaining about the price of the 2ss

You would be suprised at the number of orders already in for this package.

1stBowtie 05-16-2009 10:20 AM

...how fast can you afford.

Great numbers, now just imagine if you built the engine and upped the boost... with cams.. and... :headbang:

SSOOCH 05-16-2009 10:27 AM

Why are my pants around my ankles when I watch this?

Ninjak 05-16-2009 11:21 AM

I am more interested in how much the STOCK block can take. Sure, you can get well over 500 rwhp out of a mustang gt as well, but it sure hell is ill advise unless you build the bottom end up some..rods ect....I am sure that the maro engine, that was not built for F/I will have the same limitations....and we have not even gotten to the drivetrain yet.

All in all though good numbers. Expensive as all out, but good numbers. Heh you could buy a GT500 2010 for what it will cost to get you to those numbers.

Hmm on second thought...what I have seen SS's going for here in S. Fla after the mark ups..a GT500 is cheaper !

You would think with an extra $8500 you would make more power?

like i said stiffer bushings get rid of those rubber one's and get some polyurethane

:confused0068:who ever has the most money goes the fastest.and i am curious to see how this 6 bolt main holds up to the tasks at hand.my pants are down to. that motor looks like the one in that oil commercial.i luv it ready to jump outta there :laughabove:

ClaymoreZ28 05-16-2009 12:26 PM

Interesting thing here is that realistically a Z28 or some other top of the line future camaro would need to be priced in 45-50k bracket - and right now we can spec out a well equipped SS for around 37k compared to about 44k for a challenger and 46k for a GT500.

Good thing is that the SS already has great brakes and handling as standard - so less to worry about there for most "mortals" who wont be doing serious racing and just want more power at their right foot - so adding a supercharger for 8-9k gives you a very nicely specced car while not making you spend much more than you would on the competition

All gets down to what you want to spend your $ on.
Amazing how many folks are dropping as much as it costs for a supercharger on ground effects and 21' wheels - which are mainly for appearance.


I'm looking at this as an opportunity to build what I expected a Z28 to be in installments :-)


I have to say that although it does nothing for me personally in terms of looks (it somehow looks depressed) - if you can get it at the actual list price the Mustang GT500 is a lot of value for money

Krieger 05-16-2009 12:26 PM

Just for fun lets compare:

http://www.kennebell.net/pricelist/pricelist.htm

Kenne Bell C5 inter-cooled kit
(Includes CAI, Boost-A-Pump, 38lb injectors, Flash Tuner, 76-93MM inlet)
$6999 Complete Inter-cooled kit ($800 for the vette hood can be used on labor)
$1,114.95 Borla Catback and X-pipe #140280
-------
$8113.95 installed and would make more power (inter-cooled), add $650 for the polished kit.

Do the work yourself (easy) and you can have it a lot cheaper.

Whipple could probably offer a kit for even less.

I foresee complete 5k-6k kits in the near future.

AH17708 05-16-2009 12:29 PM

rwhp
 
forgive me for the dumb question...but those who dont ask dont learn...so whats the difference between rwhp and hp...how is it that you guys are able to calculate these numbers??

Cessna510 05-16-2009 12:48 PM

damn, I'll get a 1ss add the sc and a cheaper cai and exhuast system and be in a screaming SS for challenger SRT8 money.

Hp is what the engine makes Rwhp is what actually hits the ground

classicam 05-16-2009 01:06 PM

The one big question, IS IT A FORGED MOTOR? I don't see the power going up or lasting with cast pistons.
