Default My '09 Cad CTS-V:

Took my ’09 Cad CTS-V into Izzy’s for a baseline dyno run.
It developed a measly 561 RWHP & a similar sick RWTQ #.
To say the least, even though this was on 91 only & alky, I
was embarrassed. Izzy & Tom both told me that I should be
getting about 620-630 RWHP from my combination. They
both told me that if I left it there, they would uncover what-
ever issues it had and they would not let it leave their shop
until it was running mean like it should be. That was Monday
afternoon & I dropped it off Tuesday morning. I’m like on
pins & needles because I would so like to see it running like
it should. Tom called me Wed afternoon & told me that it
was running very chipper at 642 on 91 only & 692 on a 47%
mix of E-85 & 91, no alky.
Picked it up Thursday afternoon and I am totally stoked as to
how it started & run. Significantly more bottom end, mid
range, considerably smoother through the entire range.
This thing is running so strong I’m afraid to poke it with a
stick for fear that it will turn around and bite me.
Many thanks to Izzy, Tom, & Izzy’s crew for their work.

It looks to me like the auto word wrap was broken.

Many thanks for the props, Grant.
The trin is not only black, it's satin
black reminiscent of the late '60's-
early '70's factory muscle cars.
