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???

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"?

don't wanna see the set-up, wanna see the dyno. you should have plenty of time to do that, no? and truthfully 300 hp in a heavy ass car does not = a fast car. you DO get props for even embarking on such an ambitious project, but the fact remains the only cost effective way to get a "fast" cts is to get a V.
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
