Decided I'd start off a build thread about my V. Don't usually have much time to do this so hopefully I don't leave many things out. I will post with updates every time I get them.

Car is currently in Central America. It's getting shipped up to DFW to SNL PERFORMANCE to hopefully become on of the most powerful street V2 CTS-V in the world. Car is leaving my house either tomorrow or Monday so it should begin being built in about 2-3 weeks. Parts are already being ordered and hopefully the car should be back to me before Christmas of this year.


Anyway, as the car sits it's just your typical bolt on/cam CTS-V with some spray. Car is an auto... 6L90. The car made 606whp on a conservative 87 tune and then 648rwhp with some more timing thrown at it, all at 11psi on 87 octane. Car then made over 800rwhp with a progressive 100 shot. Car was loads of fun and quick but I just hated always having to refill the bottle and one day a build thread came up on ctsvowners about a TT V and I started reading up and got more and more interested. Fate finally put me in the hands of Steve over at SNL and this is where the build begins.

The build:
I'm scrapping my whole engine and trans.

As of now we are not going to touch the suspension. I might put some axles in but that's about it for now. I'm thinking the stock differential will be able to handle the power. I will be keeping my stock 3.23 gears.


When all is said and done I think the car will hopefully (cross fingers) make north of 1350rwhp through the automatic and I'd be happy if I get 155+ trap speeds out of it. These cars are a pig but I don't think 155-160 traps out of this combo are far off.

Car as it sits now:

Should be a sick build man. Curious what it's doing down in Central America though?

2SSARME

I live in Panama.

I originally bought the car in Feb. in Florida and had it sent to Formato to do what it has now except spray.

So now I'm re exporting it back to DFW to get this build and it will be coming back to me in Central America when it's done... Same thing the guys over in the Middle East do sometimes.

wanna sell your stock motor?

2SSARME

Yup. Trans also and some nice headers.

I was going to post it up in for sale with all mods. Don't have them all off top of my head but the LSA has:

ported snout and supercharger. a nice blower cam. top end upgrades. Bunch of stuff to be honest. Car made 606whp on 11psi.... It's a nasty setup.


All the parts will be in DFW at SNL in a couple weeks if anyone would want to see them and make an offer. I kind of know what I want for the whole setup but you can make individual offers for me to consider.

There are a few built motor TT 09s around and that thing will fly with an auto. Ill be curious how long that rear will last with a few good launches.

Im curious what is being "exported" in the frame rails to pay for that beast!

2SSARME

It's tricky re exporting cars and getting them into the US. We have time frames so sadly I don't think car will be able to stay until March.



You and me both. Good part is I have no tracks down here so no hard launches. Car will be a roll king/queen

Couple of things:

where are you going to get fuel for this beast? You've talked about only being able to get 87 octane, and there's no way this thing is going to run on 87.

Second, it must be crazy living where you're car sits in a barbed wire fence parking lot.

2SSARME

We have plenty of VP here. It just costly and there's no reason to run it unless you have a beast like this. I'm not going to run VP in my 600whp V lol.. Not at $16/gal.

Second lol. Funny part is it's the really really nice part of town. Can never be too safe.

Update:

Ship leaves on Friday to US. Car should be at SNL hopefully by end of this month.

Also put the V on the dyno today and just confirmed to me that something is very wrong with the car. When car arrived it made 606rwhp. Couple months later made 540 and today made 460rwhp. Been progressively losing hp.. No idea why. Also suspension seems pretty shot so kind of good thing I am sending car up North!
