At least Hennessey Performance thinks so, and they have come up with the V700 upgrade package that boosts the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 to more than 700 horsepower. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>The result? Horsepower is up to 707 at 6300 rpm, and torque is rated at 701 lb-ft. That all adds up to some impressive performance on-track, including a 0-60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of of 211 mph. Fortunately, Hennessey had the cameras rolling during test, and you can watch the Hennessey CTS-V tear up the drag strip in the video <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/08\/hennesseys-cadillac-cts-v-ready-for-prime-time-w-video\/#continued\">after the jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\">Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/01hennesseyctsv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/02hennesseyctsv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/03hennesseyctsv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/04hennesseyctsv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/hennessey-cadillac-cts-v\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/05hennesseyctsv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Hennessey Performance]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/08\/hennesseys-cadillac-cts-v-ready-for-prime-time-w-video\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Hennessey&#8217;s Cadillac CTS-V ready for prime time [w\/video]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/08\/hennesseys-cadillac-cts-v-ready-for-prime-time-w-video\/\">Hennessey&#8217;s Cadillac CTS-V ready for prime time [w\/video]<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:01:00 EST.
