Hennessey Performance HPE1000 Twin Turbo Corvette

The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the best performance bargains in the automotive marketplace. Even the base model comes standard with a 430 horsepower V-8. But, for owners that want more performance and style, Hennessey Performance has a twin-turbo upgrade that will make the base Corvette faster than its supercharged sibling.

 

Hennessey Performance has developed a new tuning program for the Chevrolet Corvette with the LS3 V-8 engine. With the new upgrade, the sports car can send 1,000 horsepower to each of the rear Corvette rims.

 

The new Hennessey Performance HPE1000 is a twin-turbocharger upgrade for the Corvettes equipped with the GM LS3 6.2-liter V-8 engine. The basis for the kit is a 427 cubic-inch LSX engine upgrade that has been balanced and blueprinted. Internally, the engine has been fitted with HPE1000 camshafts, ARP main studs and bolts, high-flow cylinder heads, new fuel injectors, and a complete fuel system upgrade. Air is sucked into twin ball bearing turbochargers with dual wastegates, an air-to-air intercooler, and then forced into the combustion chamber via new high-flow cylinder heads. A stainless steel cat-back exhaust system helps to reduce backpressure. Hennessey Performance also ensures maximum durability with the HPE engine management calibration, a new 160 degree thermostat, and an electronic boost controller. The result of all of the upgrades is 1000 brake horsepower at 6,300 RPM.

 

The Hennessey Performance HPE1000 upgrade does not include other additional Corvette rims, suspension upgrades, and aerodynamic modifications. To give the Corvette an even more athletic look, concave wheels can be fitted. Concave wheels can provide a wider footprint than the stock Corvette rims, and offer a unique three-dimensional style. Upgrading the suspension with new anti-roll bars will help to reduce body roll. At high speeds it is important that the Corvette is stable. To improve stability, it is essential that new front and rear spoilers are installed.

 

As part of the HPE1000 upgrade, owners receive exclusive badging, serial-numbered dashboard plates, and premium floor mats.

 

The new HPE1000 from Hennessey Performance provides an incredible 1000 horsepower. But, when upgrading the engine with so much power, it is often important to install new concave wheels, anti-roll bars, and aerodynamic spoilers.

Answer me ASAP with good info plz and u get 10 points also SP2 making vista pro now?? Wich should i get 32 or 64 bit?

I would love to help you out, but based on your information you already have "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium". Is this a computer you would LIKE to get? I am not understanding.

If you are looking at purchasing Vista, I would recommend downloading Windows 7 for now - it's free until the summer of 2010. This way you can have the newest operating system, then in April just buy the full released version of Windows 7 and not have to worry about Vista at all. Windows 7 has the same requirements, and if the system above is what you are asking about then you absolutely have above and beyond the requirements for any operating system available.

Also, get 32 bit for now. MANY more programs will be compatible with it, you are better off with 32 until 64 becomes much more widespread.

EDIT:
About the memory issue, 32 bit can have 4gb of memory (3.5 shows up) - this is plenty for pretty much ANYTHING you could possibly want to do for a long time. You will not need the extra ram that 64 bit OS gives you for a long time.

EDIT 2:
Here is the link for windows 7 download:
