I have no experience with anyone in that area, but I would guess its weather related, most of us do not drive these vehicles here past October or so. I personally do not take mine out after the first good storm because of all the road salt/mag-chloride they put down on the roads... that crap eats everything alive. Welcome and wait it out til Spring, it will get better.

Im in the Arvada area (CTS-V owner). Did any of you guys go to the KBPI dyno day? I was there and made 414 whp with the caddy and owned the lowest HP dyno of the day with my BMW drift car (175 whp). I will be swapping an LS1/t56 from a 99 trans am into the BMW this winter. Anyone want to help?

Im parting the trans am also. Search on craigslist if interested.

as of right now it is complete with black leather interior. The drivers bolster is beat up though. I have people interested in the wing, tails, shades, rear bumper, small misc parts. No money in hand yet though. Im not sure what Im allowed to post in this board, but try looking here for pics.

Nice!.. I was going to go to that but the weather was a little crappy up north so I didn't want to make the drive.. I also got my car dyno tuned at that dyno so I was only going to check things out.. not bad numbers for the V.. what's done to it?

I'm in Pueblo West, but I work in the Springs. Unlike some, I do drive in the winter. If there's snow ON the roads, I drive a 4x4, but otherwise you'll see me in the C5.

The V has a Maggie on it and Corsa exhaust. It dynoed at 489 whp when I first got it, but I had O2 and cat failure codes during the dyno day. Now I know those codes are worth 70 HP! I hope to do motor/trans/diff mounts, get a real tune (open to suggestions) and hope for 500+ WHP by next summer.

We have snow tires for our Caddy and drive it year round, snow or no snow!

Jeepster666,

Can you PM me a price for all the seats? I might want some other stuff too depending on the budget.

The Caddy sounds mean, my buddy has a 04' V with longtubes, OR Y-pipe and cat back... sounds so good that way. I cant imagine having a Maggie screamin' under the hood as well!

As far as a tune goes, you might try to contact Peter @ Dragon Race Engineering, he does a lot of Forced Induction GM tuning... He has been around a long time, he recently moved up North, but its not too far really.

Glad you drive it year round, I just cant get myself to do it.

Sold front seats already. Do you want a price for the rears?

Clint wont return any phone calls and this "badass" supercharged corvette tuned by Clint dynoed that day and only made like 430 whp and was so rich the exhaust looked like a diesel! Makes me a little uneasy about wanting you use him. Anyone have personal experience?

Longmont area here!
jeepster nice to see you on here man, only talked to you once before but yea that V is pretty sweet. I have dealth with Clint numerous times and he is very friendly and very easy to deal with, now I have only had my car tuned by him a few times but I am very pleased.
I wanted to make it down to dyno day to check out everyones rides but work got in the way.

Hey 95blackm6 if you are looking for an SS spoiler check out this guy: http://denver.craigslist.org/for/3408483903.html

I bought the SS hood from him for a really good price.
I will tell you though that his car is NOT an SS and the only O.E part was the hood lol. The spoiler is a knockoff that fits really good but its still a knockoff Ebay one.
