Default Props to John Hennessey and his staff

I have had my car back for a little over a week and it is awesome! The stock 2001 Z-06 went in for a Z-500 package a few weeks ago and came out a BEAST. :yesnod: Sometime this week we will dyno and expect the numbers to be similar to DARTH VETTER'S car (less the 100 shot) somewhere around the 450/420 rear wheel numbers. I will post the numbers soon. I am very pleased with the finished product.

Just wanted to give thanks to Kyle and a very professional staff at HMS.

Congrats!! :D:D

How long was the turn around on your car? From the time you paid until you got it back.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have had an incredible time with it so far. The power is a massive difference from stock.

No Mercy, the car took right at 6 weeks from beginning to end. I'm sure if I was in a major hurry they could have done it faster....BP

Thanks TLewis. I have since sold those wheels and have purchased some 3 piece black mesh CCW wheels with a polished lip and rivets. This should set the car off and seperate the tire from the wheel. I will post a new pic next week

Congrats. Hopefully we will see some SAE numbers out of your car instead of STD numbers like they use on DV's Vette. SAE is more a tandard for the main shops.

My car hasn't even been started yet. Hennessey told me he has been moving his shop for the last three weeks. He has had my money for over five months and my car for 10 weeks and all that has been done is a Nitrous system. Hell I do not even rate a phone call. But if nothing is being done I guess there is no need for an update. Latest word is that Hennessey is still waiting for parts and the earliest my car will be done is mid to late Nov. This will not last much longer though, as I am tired of screwing around with this project. I have more to say but this is not the time or place. Give me an E-mail, I would like your opinion on a few things. Thanks!!

:eek: :eek: Man that sucks :smash: I figured from your posts before you brought it in there, that yours was a priority project as it was going to be one of the fist of it's kind. Sorry to hear this :yesnod:
