The first kind drives Cadillac’s supercharged CTS-V , experiences the thrill of 556 horsepower paired with 551 pound-feet of torque and declares, “This thing is a monster.

What does it take to squeeze more than 150 more horsepower out of the LSA V8? Hennessey adds a cold air induction system, a smaller supercharger pulley, a new engine management system, long tube headers, three-inch exhaust system with high-flow cats, an upgraded intercooler, more aggressive cam, and high-flow heads.
