I made a similar statement a while back, and got shut down pretty quick, they ( forum members) said the OEM intake and exhaust is superior to any aftermarket system. ...and then Hennessy goes and does the exact same thing. :unsure:
Most people aren't willing to put the time, money, and effort needed for the project in order to make it all work. One can't just slap a CAI and a more free flowing exhaust on and call it good. It takes a lot more than that, including work on the engine itself. You want to spend a bunch of money to do it? More power to you but say $200 on a CAI and $600 on a stainless exhaust with a noisy muffler ain't gonna cut it.

A company like Hennessy has the capital, resources, knowledge, and equipment to develop a working system and eat the costs of any mistakes. It isn't Bill and Bob in their garage out back. Huge difference.

Opinions vary but I don't know if Hennessy really has to do much. They make more show/garage queens than Shelby.

I don't know if I have ever seen one moving under its own power. They just sit there and look pretty.

You could be right there and it is something to think about.

Actually for displacement it would be closer to 700-750hp... which is very acheivable for car applications. No idea how well it would stay together in a truck.
If you want a 700hp F-150 with a 3 yr/36k warranty
