My brother just got his car back today after getting a new Precision Billet turbo put on and retuned. Most of his mods are in the intro to the vid. I knew id get walked but just wanted to see by how much before the cam goes in tuesday and its tuned for the cam/long tubes and spray. Should be a different outcome the end of next week.
BTW this run was with me on motor with just CAI and Kooks 1 7/8 untuned. No spray obviously since it hasnt been tuned with the headers. About a 50 roll with him getting the jump since i decided to go into second at the last second.

Im untuned with headers so im guessing about 350hp/345tq now off the bottle. Hes about 425hp/600tq. His car was breaking up bad he said so he has to make a few changes because before the new billet turbo he wasnt getting any detonation. So hes gonna try upping the Meth and see how it goes. Its a solid low 11 second car at around 118-120. Its definetly a dig car though, its just plain nasty..... by far the sickest car ive been in from a dig...

Nice run, I guess you will have to put up with his bragging this weekend. Just a thought, roll him at 40mph, not 50, as would work better for you, and remind him he owes you a jump at the start.
Good luck for the next round,,,

Most guys don't believe me that my GM product can beat a beautiful Bimmer, and even the my friend always makes excuses about why he lost (missed a gear which is funny because it's a paddle shift, just had a new turbo installed under warranty, and last month had a new fuel pump installed -- the BMW reliability apparently is lacking on this particular car, lol).
Point is, our cars are geared just right to be beasts from a roll.

Just some info I saved through the years:
Stock 3.73 CTS-V
1st 2.97 46 mph @ 6500
2nd 2.07 66 mph @ 6500
3rd 1.43 96 mph @ 6500
4th 1.00 137 mph @ 6500
5th 0.84 163 mph @ 6500
6th 0.56 163 mph @ 4300
60 mph = 1600 rpm
70 mph = 1866 rpm
80 mph = 2133 rpm

Yea i prefer 45 rolls but i wasnt really planning on running him I was just gonna get a vid of him taking off but I decided to give it a try anyways from 50 it was either 2nd or 3rd and if i had any chance to keep up at that speed it wa 2nd. 45 and 65 rolls are the best for me. Ill make sure to post a vid of the rematch, i was just glad my 200 dollar clearance sony handycam was able to get a pretty decent night video.

I have a bone stock CTS-V and a Gn pulled out onto the 4 lane yesterday morning..I heard that wastegate blowing off and I knew I might had bitten off more than I could chew. We hit a run from 45 and I pulled him by about 3 up to around 100 mph.....next was from 55 and he had a lot more boost loaded up, pulled me by one length and held it to 140...I felt pretty good overall and the old timer in the GN gave me 2 thumbs up and a big ole grin.
