Default The CTS-V at RPM MotorSports

My CTS-V is at RPM MotorSports for their Stage I Package.

1) Air Raid CAI
2) Stainless Work Exhaust
3) Pulley Swap
4) RPM cat delete pipes
5) RPM Tune

So far stock boost, Air Raid CAI, Cat delete and tune made SAE 507 rwhp 463 torque. MORE #'s TO COME. Stainless Works exhaust goes on tomorrow. Will record some more #'s and then a pulley swap and record more #'s. That will be the end of the Stage I Package.

Yeah Ryan and the RPM crew are top notch. Second to none in my opinion. Ryan and his crew have been working on all my vehicles since 2004.

Great numbers. In no hurry, but I can't wait to trade up to a V2 (that makes no sense).

I bought the car while out of the country, I got pics my wife sent and a couple from Jason at RPM. I have ordered some CCW's and they will be on the car in about 2 1/2 weeks. I will get the windows tinted when I get home.

Right now they are making a pull on the dyno after each mod. With stock boost, Air Raid CAI, CAT delete and tune, yesterday made 507 rwhp. Still got to do the pulley swap, and Stainless Works exhaust and more tuning.

Any update? I've had the SW exhaust on mine for about 3 weeks and am really liking it.

I talked to Ryan yesterday and they are waiting on the exhaust to come in.

Appreciate the comments.

The car baselined at 449 rwhp. Cai and tune got us to 495. With the custom rpm motorsports cat delete pipes, got us up to 507.
The exhaust went on today, but it was too late to get it strapped down for numbers. Monday I will pull it.
I must say,. This is the color combo I would want my v2 to be. This is a nice project for sure, I am really excited with it!

Talked to RPM today. So far Air Raid CAI, RPM cat delete pipes, Stainless Works exhaust (still has stock exhaust manifolds) and tune. 522 rwhp & 480 torque. Pulley Swap is next.

The goal for the RPM Stage I package is to get 600 rwhp with Pulley Swap, RPM cat delete pipe, Air Raid CAI, Stainless Work Exhaust and RPM tuning. No internal mods, injectors or long tube headers until Stage II comes along.

Sorry bud, we also had to order injectors yesterday too. They were 99% duty cycle on the last pulls.

Very nice color!

I don't want to jump the gun, but I'm anxious to see what happens on the stage 2 build!

Yeah a few guys on the other forum said that they would probably reach max duty cycle before 600 rwhp was reached. Y'all went with ID850's?

I'm always ready for the next Stage of a build.
