I predict about a week of run on this story until the truth comes out.

You don't even know what dyno test you're commenting on. Why would you think that Jannetty, in Connecticut, would be testing a car that has been modified by Hennessy, in Texas? Besides the car that Hennessey tested made 431rwhp. And why do you think that Hennessey would modify a car, then test it and publish the numbers as the baseline? Don't you think that would be kind of a self-defeating thing for a tuner to do?
Another problem you've got is the fact that these cars are being tested all over the country and they are all making much more rear wheel horsepower than their 455hp crank horsepower suggests they should be making. Do you think that they all have been modified by Hennessey?
Look, if you don't believe the numbers, that's fine, but you need come up with a better story, because the "it's been modified by Hennessey" one isn't cutting it.
