Hmmmmmm. I wonder how the install looks? I wonder if they're customer service has gotten better? I wonder if they still give people the runaround? I wonder if they take 5 times as long as promised to complete the project? Hmmmmmm.

Chase,
Quite honestly, they have made an amazing turn around. Dave and JT are great. John doesn't make the day to day decisions anymore. IMHO, they are a pretty stand up shop. I've been there. :twocents:

I believe ya bro. I truly do. But time will tell. Anyone can have a good couple of years. GSM was pretty kickass.........for awhile. I'll still give my $$$$ to the boys at PPP and BWoody. It'll take longer than a couple of months and a few good testimonies to win me over. Thanks for the thread nontheless, Darrin. I'm sure they have been working hard, that's an impressive run for sure.

Chase, I am not asking you to purchase their products. Nor do I indorse them. I am just stating the facts. They have a nice shop that puts on a lot of bolt on kits for their customers. Are they innovative, it's arguable, but I have to say that their team has made a Jeep SRT8 go faster then any other. That is cool in my book and they deserve the props for doing so.

I have to admit..... and I never thought I'd say this but, Henn. is turning around and I NEVER thought I may become a touch of a Henn fan. JH isn't a schmuck anymore and they actually seem to care about people now. Don't know if this is a marketing ploy considering the market and all. I'm sure they're getting nowhere near the Viper customers anymore and now their trying to direct their products to a larger but yet cheaper market. I'm terrified to find out how much this twin setup costs. Hell, their damn SRT600 kit was like $20K!! Their kit looks kinda decent..... I personally can't stand the location of the turbos. I think that's NUTS!! No way it can be a DD, now way. My buddies shop is about to start a Twin kit on a GCSRT8 with a 426. Both turbos front mounted. Should be pretty cool. He's waiting for the customer to get his motor together and in then they will get the truck. Can't wait!
Well, the supercharger bracket has been fixed on my ride. Steve said last night it is ready for the track. The tune will be dialed in there. Wherever there is?? What tracks are open now?? I will drive to Florida if there is something open. If anybody knows, get a hold of me!!

I think the Southern tracks are open. Moroso and Brandenton. Gainesville is closed until Jan 19th I think.:( Not sure about Orlando.... but Orlando SUCKS NUTS!

No doubt Henn is building some sick vehicles. But I'm not gonna be the first one to drop that kinda cash to see if his customer service is up to spec... (I'm not gonna drop that kinda cash on my Jeep PERIOD, but you know what I mean) If I heard of some satisfied Jeep customers on the forums, and he had decent prices, I'd consider his shop. In the meantime, I will continue to check out his builds (along with the other BADASS builds that are going on right now), and I would like to check out his shop sometime if I'm able to make it down to Texas...:rant::jackson:

The 1.016 sixty foot is BS. Something was mighty screwy.

Looks like they changed the link to a challenger, but that one was a 1.83 60'. I didn't catch the Jeeps 60'.

Look at the time slip at the end of the Jeeps video. There is clear distinction between the "8's" and the "0's".
Here, I blew up the pic and has not been doctored in anyway other than clarity (which still sucks). It clearly shows a 1.016 sixty foot. The challenger had a 1.83 sixty.

Humm, I say BS to that 60' time as well. That Jeep may be fast, but there is no way in hell that it's pulling off a 1.0 60'.
Billyman
12-10-08, 08:45.51 PM
Agreed, that's NHRA Pro-Stock sixties
And let's give it a respectable 1.60 sixty foot.
The E.T. would be a 11.47 actual time.
You guy's are right on... There is no way a turbo jeep with stock suspension would pull that kind of 60' time. It looks like they are at it again!!
LOL, I just watched the video. That is not a 1.0 or anything close 60' launch! And they are at the track by themselves, what's up with the announcer??

12-10-08, 08:56.32 PM
Brian, I am with you. There is no way that thing is pulling a 1.0 60'. Also, Carl never did respond to my question about the selling of the Jeep. Honestly, I think someone bank rolled the build and the time is still questionable. Bunch of BS. :tantrum1:

No kidding!! I heard the guy wanted a 10 sec truck. It looks like the Hennessey folks did it:rolleyes: But I bet the real owner will never be able to do it, unless he gets out and moves the timing lights himself!:pounding table:

Hmm. Good find Darrin. Why does that first slip look soo fucked up. That "0" in there doesn't resemble a "8" at all. Oh well, congrats to them. Quickest Jeep in the world no?

Not sure. I snagged it from another site when I posed the question about the 1 sec 60'. It's the current fastest Jeep. Come on Brian... Get the unleaded out. :pounding table:

I checked it out in photoshop and in PaintShop Pro and their were no layers.
I blew it up 600X and it hasn't been doctored any.
Looks like it's legit after all! Badass Jeep!

it looks like its a 2wd with slicks

Regardless, Hennessey made one fast Jeep on anothers nickle. Props to them, but I cannot wait to see Brian's Jeep run. That will be bad ass!! :racing:

Who cares.?? At this moment in time, they have the fastest Jeep SRT8 in the world. AWD or not. They deserve some props for that. :tantrum1:

Ive heard that Hennessey makes your engine blow up. Is there any truth to this?
