Default 1200 Hp / 1066 rwhp LS7 From Hennessey

Hennessey is using a twin Turbo LS7 in place of the LS9 based supercharged motor in this CTS-V package they claim will challenge a Bugatti veryon - yea,, right.

I wonder What is Hennessey is doing to compensate for the flawed LS7 heads, thin cylinder walls, flawed valve guides and flawed sodium filled exhaust valves so this bad boy doesn't drop valves and blow a texas sized hole in the side of a block with the strength of a rose petal frozen in dry ice.?????

Throw a Hennessey TT LS7 in a stock Z06 -- what a sleeper.

It doesn't matter what Hennessey claims, they'll part your car out and it probably won't be completed anyway, so they can claim whatever they want LOL

That crook isn't doing anything that anyone with a lot of money can't buy out of a catalog.

Sleeved LS7/aftermarket LS block
9:1 Compression
370+ CFM Heads
Boost

which is why I think even those that have blown a motor, go back and Build it again, just address the Valve/guides issue and you are good to go.

It's also interesting to me, have we seen any blown LS7 motors that were supercharged or turbocharged?

I could be mistaken, but it seems every blown motor is stock, or cammed... You would think with the guide/valve issues we are seeing,, a supercharged motor would pop (all the extra heat) too.

you pick up car magazines even where they praise and endorse him ... yet start looking into his name, and there are countless lawsuits and complaints all over the country...yet he always seems to stay "clean" it's like he is the Capone of the car world

Last thread about him here, it got locked, he temporarily came back as a vendor if I recall ..

To be fair those cars have motors based on an LS7 or a different LS motor in a car that originally came with an LS7. Nothing even remotely close to a stock LS7 in any of the vids you posted.
