whos gonna show him the hennessey raptor picture on fire? FYI you may not find many here with positive things to say about hennessey

I did the research after buying the truck but it's okay, I really like the mods/look of it (and got it for a fairly good price) so now Im more interested into what I can do to improve it and make it right.

Hennessey claims 0-60 in 4.2 and 12.9 @ 110 in the 1/4, so of it doesn’t feel fast there may very well be something wrong with it. For example, the dealer may have performed a PCM calibration update, which will overwrite the Hennessey calibration.

If that’s what they run and it’s not quick, I’m definitely with @FordTechOne

Whether it was reflashed at a dealer or just has a problem, your maybe missing out on a lot of performance.

You may want to reach out to them.

You say it is loud and gives you a headache. Did you test drive before buying?

I did and liked the sound, the volume just gets to me after a while. Im getting some sound deadening installed at the moment so Im hoping it'll help! If not, Im thinking to tone down the exhaust a bit.

Tell you what you do. Go on down to Phil's and get you some ribs and brisket and a couple of beers. On way home, get dessert of a couple of Double Doubles. Get home and sleep for 12-14 hours. All good. You're welcome.
