Texas-based tuning company Hennessey has given the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray more power and a louder scream at that. In a video posted on Hennessey’s Facebook page, the C7 Stingray is captured screaming away like a banshee, which could perhaps indicate that it has achieved its targeted output.

While the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 already does quite alright in terms of delivering superb outputs (625 hp/861 Nm), the company chose to work its magic on the Stingray with just 450 hp and 610 Nm, instead. With its HPE1000 package, the company is looking to up the Stingray’s output to a total of 1,000 hp.

In the engine bay, where the LT1 6.2 litre V8 engine sits, modifications include forged pistons and steel rods, a custom HPE camshaft, ported cylinder heads, while a 2.9L supercharger system is in place. It also features upgraded fuel injectors and an upgraded fuel system too.

Furthermore, it receives a high-flow intercooling system and an intercooler heat exchanger. Elsewhere, long-tube stainless steel headers and high-flow catalytic converters are fitted. Relevant gaskets are in place and appropriate fluids, filled up. The engine management system gets special HPE calibration as well.

The C7 Stingray was put on the dyno back in April, 2015, where it screamed out a total of 847 hp and a pretty respectable 976 Nm of torque at the rear wheels, as a result. While the video doesn’t detail as to whether the 1,000 hp target has been attained, it’s still great to watch (and listen to) it drag and yell its way off the mark.
