Not bad for the moment. It's been worse.

Care to explain the change that just took place?
Aluminum flywheels give more performance gain in the lower gears, especially on the CTSV which has a heavy dual mass flywheel. However, I can barely notice the difference in acceleration in first. I can't tell any difference in 2nd-6th. I put on the list because I'm sure it helps, but I would guess less than 5 rwhp on a 4th gear pull.

Bad *** sounding caddy Do they make bullets for the cts ??
I really had to do a double take watching the video of your car idling. Couldn't believe how she sounded. AWESOME !!
Must be like hearing a conversion car start up. (BMW, RX7 etc that have transplanted ls1, or ls6 motors)

not to rain on your parade, but you're dealing with an extremely shady person who most likely took a can tune from somebody's Z06 and just threw it on your car. And who will stab you in the back if he ever got the chance.
I would seriously consider taking your car to somebody else (Tick is a sponsor on the site and close to asheville).

HAHA, that coming from somebody with a mail order tune.
I, myself, am also a very shady person, so I respect him for that. 
I got $360 in the 2 tunes that I have got from him. And the first time I couldn't even drive it up there due to it being in reduce power mode. If all he did was throw somebody else's tune in there, then that's fine. I'm sure that my tune is closer than yours for less money.

Edit: Oops that madwolf was for your LT1 car. Either way, you probably have no experience at all with dyno tuning. And you definitely have none with Jeff. And while it may not always be wrong, living your life based of what somebody said on the internet is retarted.

Didn't want you to think I was trying to steal your thunder. Some people get their feelings hurts over stuff, especially when most of their gain came from 1 mod instead of the other 5. Not saying that is your case, but in some others.
And FWIW, I installed an alum fly in a good friend's CTSV and with no other changes, dyno'd 2 days apart it made 13 more rwhp. 4 pulls made on each day.
Again, congrats on the stout #'s. Will sound like a pissed off beast with a built motor.

I don't care where it came from. If I got 20 from the headers and 10 from the flywheel, atleast I know that a didn't throw money away.
I have to assume that the CTSV dyno wasn't posted, I would have been interested in seeing that. Also, driving wise, what was the difference. Lots on the caddy forum say it's night and day in the first few gears, but I could have not driven it for a week and probably not noticed that it was even in there.

You still ain't got nothing for it. That elbow is just choking your 408 too much.

I'll try to acquire a dyno sheet for you. The owner doesn't post on the internet and the car was dyno'd @ a local Mustang dyno.
