Just Heard that Hennessey had a magazine test with Car and Driver, with his turbo Jeep. This guy is like a child molester, preying on innocent people

Actually, I think there are a myriad of more choices out there. There are alot of reputable sources just participating on this website alone.

I live in Houston, and been going by this shop called Racing Solutions (RSI),That has to be the cleanest shop I have ever been in, the floors are white. they have on hand around 25-30 Vipers, Srt Rams, SRT8 Chargers and Jeeps all being turbocharged or supercharged. I went by there yesterday and spoke with Jason, They were tuning on a turbo SRT8 Jeep, they had alot of Hennessey redos in progress as well. Maybe yall should check these guys out.

I see it differently. If by myriad, you mean CAI, headers, PP heads, and exhaust, which are rather generic modifications, then the choices are abundant. However, if one wishes to apply a forced-induction setup, the choices are limited, Hennessey, GSM, and possibly local vendors.

True, but I have yet to see any forced induction numbers that would make me lean that direction for performance. The best times are currently being run by nitrous wielding Jeeps. Until a shop comes out with something that runs consistently well, I am hesitant to drop down some cash on their solution.

This video was posted on another board (dunno if I'm allowed to say or not, but you can search the usual suspects) and it shows development of a twin-turbo system for the Hemi. Cool, is what I say. :) I hope they can get the whole TSM thing put to bed :)

ask around on viperalley.com about RSI. they have numerous unsatisfied customers over there. maybe they can make your Jeep go fast, but buyer beware.

I'd like to point out that the IP address LMP posted from is also located in Houston, TX.

Coincedence? I think not.

John,

You are not welcome on this site. With any username, fake or real. Please cease ALL posting on ALL of my forums. Heaven forbid I say the wrong thing to you on accident on one of your "fake" accounts and have you threaten to sue me again...

I dont know how to make myself anymore clear.

Hennessey never ceases to amaze. It truly is a testament to the way his business is run. Honestly one of the most blatant displays of ignorance I've encountered. Misrepresentation, defamation, slander, the list gets longer and longer with each post. "The blind leading the blind ... "

Just curious what sort of turn around time did he give you?

Hey Aveng, tell him to trade trucks. You take the silver one and leave him the red one. Shouldn't be any delay doing a swap.

........... o.0............ WOW :eek:

I just finished reading up from multiple forums about this guy, and for the life of me, I am too stunned to respond.

I've read from the Viper forums to the 300C ones where he has a brain meltdown.

I'm..... wow

Ask my wife about what kind of blabberbox I am, and she will tell you i was at the lappytop for 12 minutes straight, just blinking and wondering wtf?

Just from what I've heard, but RSI was founded by techs that left Hennessey because they didn't like his business practices. I've also heard they helped alot of his customers that had problems with his products.

Take this with a grain of salt, though. I don't know the real story, but they sound like a decent company to try.
