Default '09 Cts-v 650rwhp@ 11.5psi

Thought some of you guys might want to know there is a good deal amount of power to be had with the LSA on just motor alone w/out having to push massive boost. The work was all done at Wait4Me performance out in Indiana.

2009 Cts-v / Stick trans

Heads ( Wait4me )
Custom Cam ( Wait4me )
Kooks headers w/ high flow cats into Oem mufflers
9" pully ( Metco brand )
Ported tb, snout, & blower ( Wait4me )
Comp pushrods
Cai ( Wait4me )
Heat Exchanger ( Wait4me )
Injectors

Car hit 700+ rwhp & 650+ rwtq but we backed it down ALOT because fuel was running out and I didnt want to nuke my stock clutch in a week. Final #'s were 654rwhp & 571rwtq corrected on a mustang dyno at 11.5psi with a straight a/f of 11.5-11.6.



Sorry guys, no vid of dyno run. It was a looooong day & we didnt expect it to put out such serious power.

That's an awesome torque curve! That's a hell of a nice mod list too.

Thanks ! It works great for me as I spend most of my time on the highway..and I didnt want to just throw pulleys at the car to get 14-15psi and overheat quick. This I can push all day and have minimal power loss from heat.

You would be very surprised at how low Jesse's prices are compared to other shops / tuners. You would also be surprised at his successful record of happy customers. Unfortunately, I live about 1800 miles away, I think, and I am not about to transport my car there and back, and at my age, I'm not too sure that I am up to driving it there and back.

I bet that car flies, and i figured the price for those mods would make a regular V1 look like modding a civic price wise, glad to hear not everyone is out to gouge the prices. Have fun with it.

The cost of everything from parts to install was under 9k. Imho not bad at all considering headers alone are nearly 2k. If you can def get your V out to Jesse, Gary. He really does know what he's doing with our cars.

FWIW & IMHO, Razor, Jesse is one of, if not the, most knowledgeable and user friendly builders and tuners on our cars. He also strongly supports our cars by sharing his knowledge on his posts and threads. I just can't get over the traveling for the car and / or me and the car 1800 miles one way to visit a builder / tuner, but that might be what it comes to.

Wow! Exactly why I will have myself a V2 in 6 months when I graduate. Well... That or a C6 Z06 but there is nothing better than a fast luxury 4 door!
