and if you think believe that adding only one turbocharger to a stock motor (as they claimed in that video) will gain you over 800 hp, good luck!! | If everyone was to have that same mentality the world will be driving around in supercars, and high performance cars, and what is the fun in that. |

| | | Re: Adding Horsepower??? it has nothing to do with my mentality. it's the facts. sorry if you don't like them. maybe i'm wrong but i don't think anyone has posted a 3.2l 300 rwhp dynosheet (which in theory shouldn't be too difficult. say 150 shot of nitrous? or a smaller shot on top of a turbo or supercharger?). i'd love to be proved wrong. let's see those dynosheets!! |

| | | Re: Adding Horsepower??? it has nothing to do with my mentality. it's just the facts. sorry if you don't like them. i've yet to see a 3.2l, 300 hp dyno sheet. i'd love to be proven wrong, so let's see the dynos |

| | | Re: Adding Horsepower??? did you make 300+ hp? i just searched and i see you made a "claim" of 240 rwhp (did you ever get around to scanning your dynosheet?). do you really think a 240rwhp car is considered "fast"?

on a side note, i hope your surgery isn't for nothing to serious and all goes well. |

| | | Re: Adding Horsepower??? that other thread you just bumped just further proves my point. you've apparently spent at least 9 grand trying to make your cts fast. you could've just got a V. |

| | | Re: Adding Horsepower??? 300hp doesnt make a heavy car fast , but it does take that heavy car from 191-199 rwhp to 300rwhp.I understand where your comming from ,but Im going to explain to you where i'm comming from.I didnt hook up the cts just to have a fast car... I do have a fast cts , and a fast sport lux in my eyes , and thats good enough for me. I hooked up my cts to be unique, and stand out a little. the extra pep in its step is just a perk. Thats my reason for spending nearly 10k on my set-ups but thats the price you pay for a hobby. The first automobile was far from fast , but through trial, and era over the years the automobile sprawled out to different forms fast. Only difference is I'm spending out of pocket ,and far from a major company. which once again I have no problem doing because it is a hobby.
Soon as i get the car on the dyno Ill throw you some numbers. Also thanks for caring bout the surgery | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
