Car was not hooking at all. I tried though. I was granny shifting my car a lot since the car break the tires loose very easily. And the last video is just an "in-car" acceleration video. Enjoy...

No traction..

My mods are in the 1st video.

The 60ft on that run was a 2.2. I bogged badly all night. It was either bogging, or spinning like crazy. I'd rather bog. lol

Nice man. Do you have Geforce/hendrix axles?

Regardless...those are some good times!

That's still a good time man

I gotta believe that without that bog off the line (or the alternative wheelspin), you're ET would be a couple ticks lower. VERY nice run! Excellent trap, too!

That stageup tune is doing a great job!

Its posted on the video page in the first link. "2005 CTS-V Mods: Catback w/muffler delete, k&n drop in, Stageup tune, aluminum flywheel w/ stock clutch, 100 dry shot

Track Elevation: 1,243ft
DA that night: 2,483 ft "

That car definately needs some traction...
With a 118 MPH trap he should be will into the 11.8 range...

I ran a 13.3 with a 2.0 60ft and 107MPH with just a muffler delete and CAI...

If you're only running regular radials, ease up on the burnout. Just a quick spin to clean off the tires should do. That may help a bit with the 60ft.

Listen to the first three gear shifts in the second video. The 4th shift was "okay" I guess. If you think those shifts are fast, then you must not be a very fast shifter. lol.

Thanks guys, the car is running pretty good, it just needs more traction, and better DA. Im installing an MS3 cam, and 1 7/8 coated headers with off road pipes this december, and upping my nitrous shot to 150hp. Im hoping to go 12.0s at around 127mph. Traction is going to be a long shot though. lol

It was a fun night that night, people were laughing as they saw the baby seat in the back seat, and watching the car run. We got some cool family cars guys!

Okay, I must've missed something ...

What diff do you have?????????

STAGEUP · #15 (**permalink**) 11-16-09, 10:07 PM

My car has the 06-07 diff with 06-07 axles, and custom made CNC steel cradle rings to "fix" the cradle to the chassis. My rear setup has been taking this kind of power at the drag strip for about 2 years, which is a good thing imo. The car just lays rubber during burnouts without wheelhop too.
