welcome Chris and thanks for the cut out vids so I guess that answers that question.
06blackctsv- yes this is what I picked up with the 9" installed and the monster clutch light flywheel from the LS7 heavy steel one with my retune. My car does have heads/cam, headers, pully, FAST 92 and REV 95 throttle body so those may have played a factor in the power gains as well.
Just a few more weeks and we will have the track vids and you may just see a 1.65 60' in a V1 with a low 12 second N/A pass

I have the cash put together for purchase of the kit now... but I'm eagerly awaiting your vids to cement my decision.
I think you should set up a camera and do 35 hard launches in front of your house and then post it up. You know... for the advancement of the CTS-V culture. (Nothing to do with personally entertaining me.)

Greddy, LOL!!!! My wife and neighbors would be pissed if I did that, lol. Its enough that they have to hear my loud a$$ start up on these cold mornings, lol HA.
This is what I am hoping for- a trip to the track with a good day and nice time slips and a nice DRIVE not tow home, lol. The only think I am afraid may break would be the tranny output shaft, not the 9" but you never know until you try right!!
Off topic story for you--
I had a guy just staring me down at a light yesterday and then we started rolling he had me roll down the window and said "What the @%$! is that, lol" I guess the shaved moldings through him because he could not put a Cadi with the sound it was making, lol. I had the cut outs open too....gotta love these cars!

Me: I have an issue with my CTS-V
Dealer: No, we won't replace your shitty, flawed from the factory, diff.
Me: Yeah - diff's fine... the transmission broke.
Dealer: You need a new clutch?
Me: No, seriously... the output shaft broke. These cars are bulletproof!
Dealer: Sirens sound - heart failure reported.
On your off topic...
I can't recall if I told this story here or not... Picture: Cobalt SS - riced out big time - dark blue in color with recognizeably not catted or muffled exhaust - just loud and nasty sounding...
He rolls from a light with me - I shift normal as I see him, but don't acknowledge his douchbaginess from the roll to 30-35. We're leaving my hometown and it opens to a 65 mph zone... I crack the window and he says something I can't hear over mine or his exhausts then he gives me the thumbs up and a nod. I wave him on... he nods again... I wave him on more enthusiastically as if to say "just go fool, I'll catch up"... then he lets the fart rip out of the tip and leaves me...
I left it in third and nodded as I caught and passed him before hitting fourth and then liftoff.
No punchline to the story... just pure overtaking torque on a little turbo car at max rpm.
NOW....
It's been 8 hours... where are my driveway launch videos ahole?

lol Greddy, well I think we have a problem "Houston". My oil pressure is all over the place, up and then down to like 7 psi and up to like 30. I changed my sending unit and that did not fix the problem unfortunately. I think my oil pump went out or I spun a bearing so I am going to have it checked out next week. I may not be going to the track on the 30th but stay tuned to my posts and I will let you guys know when I am back and up running again.
The car sounds the same; no weird noises, ticking etc., so what do you guys think is going on and yes it has 6 new quarts of oil as I just recently changed it and did check it again?
I guess the Gforce 9" was too much for my stock LS6 to handle, HA. It may be forged motor time guys...

We think it may be the O ring on the oil pump so we are going to do a mechanical check first and go from there. So far I have it planned to be repaired and ready for the Sept. 30th track day.
