Hennessy HPE 500 Ram

[98sinisterCOBRA]

So I made the project sleeper post a few weeks ago, and I finally figured out this...my parents are buying me the truck and I have some $ to pay for the Hennessy HPE500 package. Hennessy isn't far from where I live and they have a supercharger and full exhaust, tune package with a 3 year/36,000mile warranty to go with it!....500hp single cab Hemi ram = sleeper ....looks like I will be eating up some fords an Chevys haha

They are fordging the motor also correct?

At the tune of $12k installed its not the route I would go

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Im to lazy to look it up, what all does that Package include lol. Im sure they are charging a premium for their labor like all other race shops.

Not sure thats what i would do if i had the cash either

 

[Bluesmoke91]

$12k for the system? If it were me, I'd buy the truck on my own with that 12k as down payment and work for the mods. Much more satisfying than having my parents pay for it.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Eh about 9K in parts looking high end of retail

 

[argray90]

Do what you want, but that $12K can go a long way for similar parts as Ken said above.

I thought that the hennessy was just a Magnacharger with a Hennessy logo on it anyways. Not worth the 9-12K when a pro charger, or RIPP is about half the cost give or take.

And I don't see anything regarding the transmission with that package, which you will definitely need to upgrade with that power.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Blah blah blah....it's all Hennessey PR and price tag.
You're a fool if you give them 12K for 7K worth or parts and some stickers.

The 500 is crank BTW...not wheel HP.
I highly doubt they can tune a new truck anyway...any "tuning"they do will be what is supplied by Magnuson.

Just buy the Maggie kit, pick your own exhaust and bolt it on yourself.

Hennessey is a rip off...and has been known to flat ass rip people off.
You may wanna do some research before you go any further.

Although I like to do my own mods, this sounds like an awesome build! Congrats.

 

[Musclemckeester]

An upgraded transmission will definitely be soon forthcoming, so you may want to budget another 2-3k for that as well.

I agree don't fret all the haters. Just blow by them. Post pics and any details when it's done.

 

[UNBROKEN]

They are fordging the motor also correct?

No. They bolt on a stone stock Magnuson kit and a cat-back along with some floor mats and stickers.

I'm from Houston too. I'll put my home brewed set-up against that Hennessey set-up any day for any dollar.
I'm just trying to save a young kid a ton of money he can better spend elsewhere.

 

[UNBROKEN]

FWIW I just called a guy I know that works there. They pulled that kit because they could t tune them well enough.
Looks like the OP's search continues.

 

[bmoney082]

is a bit over priced for sure but if you got money to burn then go for it. But I would rather see ya build ur own truck over have them bend u over

 

[Trupiano]

Guys, give the guy a break. If you want to give him your opinion, then that's fine, but don't cram it down his throat with post after post, as it will ruin his thread that now has 17 posts of which only 1 is from him.

Thank you.
