Default New CTS-V Guy on the forum

I'm new to this Forum, Logged in for the first time today.

Name Is Rob and I live in the Bay area in CA (San Jose Area).

Hobbies lately is to see how much trouble I can get into with the wife. Got the Mod Bug and knee deep in Mod hell. Thinking about getting up to my waist but hopefully I can hold off for a little bit and enjoy the mods currently on the car.

I have a 07 CTS-V with an LS2. Thunder gray outside and Lt gray inside.

I put on a homemade 3.5" FFV and a Billy Boat exhaust then had the car dynoed and came in at 340 (almost) at the rear and a nice flat torque curve.

Mod's before and after the Dyno run
B&B Headers (Having troubles with the catted connection fit)
UUC FlyWheel
CTS Sport Spoiler
DRL Mod, Clear Fogs, LED's for the front turn signals
UUC Shifter, bushings, ****

Mods in the mail or ready to go on
Hotchkis sways
new CTS console
GM Accessory wheels

Future Mod's
Cam
Heads
??????

Some day, 427! As they say, no replacement for displacement!!!!

Going the NA route and I am coming to this site to help with the LS2 Mods. Started the research and plan to have the work done sometime next year.

Car is a blast to drive but as I drive it I want more. I am currently debating on whether or not to track the car.
