I asked about 850 hp because this thread is about Hennessey's 1000 hp Exorcist and presumably everyone here knows that Hennessey, like KaTech and many other builders, only quotes crank hp.
I asked about shipping and warranty because both are, or were 2 years ago, in HPE's price. HPE honored my warranty by shipping my car back to Houston to checkout what I called "short shifting", which turned out to be nothing but GM TCM issues.

We do not believe in using the stock supercharger it is not the right thing to do, it's too small and the intercoolers inside it are in adequate for that much power.
We offer an 800-850 RWHP package (depending on available octane in your area) that includes a TVS 2650, Cam Headers and supporting mods for around the same money depending on options you choose.
When comparing packages please don't jump down to the bottom line numbers look at what you are actually getting detailed parts list, and services to install those parts properly.
All of our builds now include an ATI superdamper whether you want it or not.
If you are interested in a package of any level please call me directly I will be happy to discuss with you and provide detailed estimate. 203-753-7223
Warranty, We have to define the definition of Warranty, is it a warranty where the manufacturer stands behind it, or an insurance policy they sell you, where the insurance company fights with you about coverage, and there are tons of loopholes for them to get out of covering the claim?
There is no way for a Company to take on the Warranty like a major car manufacturer does when modifying an existing used, car to make more power due to how the car will be used and the simple fact that the core parts being reused are not designed from the ground up to handle that much power under sustained use and abusive conditions.
Most people that buy these big name builds put them in the garage and talk about them more than drive them.
I build cars to be driven like you stole them but also accept the responsibility that goes along with it.
The saying goes Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat!
