A Magnuson supercharger, Corsa exhaust, high flow injectors and some genius reprogramming of the engine management system were enough to take this stock LS3 from 400hp to a very impressive 559hp at the rear wheel.

1/4 Mile

Of course there were a few extra mods to help control all the extra horses from this 6.2L V8. Bigger tires. Suspension upgrade, but most reviews indicate that some work is still required in that department. They kept the stock 4 piston Brembo calipers.
Some of the reported stock times vary from test to test, the Chevrolet Camaro site claim a 0 – 60 time of 4.7 seconds, and ¼ mile of 13.2 @ 105mph. The Hennessey package delivers 0 – 60 in 4.3 seconds, and takes over a second off the ¼ mile time with 12.1 @ 120.1mph.
