I'm in the 11's

Ready2roll · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-09, 11:32 PM

Took my CTS-V to the track tonight to see what it would do with the mods.

11.90 first run
11.78 2nd
11.77 3rd

Needless to say I'm a happy camper

Only mods are wait4me 9" pulley, 4" air intake and performance tune.

When my car was 2 days old and bone stock it ran 12.49

And I know I'm going to get asked this.....

It's an auto car and i had the transmission in sport mode and I pressed the traction control button twice.

What tires did you run? Stockers? Nice times.

Stock tires!

I had a few "warm up" passes in the 11.90's and then decided to drop the rear tire pressures to 24 psi and my times came down to the 11.7's

My exhaust is untouched.

The only mods i have are the 9" pulley, 4" air intake and the tune that comes in Jesse's hand held programmer.

I got my best launch at 1500 RPM and had to roll into the throttle to prevent tire spin.

I was still getting a bit of spin on the 1-2 shift. I think with some drag radials and a more powerful launch I'll see 11.5's

And if you guys are curious here's the time slips from my warm up passes.

7 time slips total and all in the 11's. Damn you gotta love these cars

Do you know what the density altitude was? Those are some great times. I was thinking about a 9.5" pulley, but I'm gonna go with 9" now for a little more margin of safety. 11.7 is exactly where I want to be.

Congratulations on the times. 1.7 60ft is no joke, i'm sure that pass was the best feeling. Nothing like the rush of your head being slammed into the headrest.

Your speed and consistency is there just need consistent and better 60ft times. The launch is is where your ET suffers, or shines.

What power did your car dyno?

I just looked it up and DA at the time of the 11.77 pass last night was -435'

Thank you! Not sure what my car dyno's yet but plan to get that number soon.

1.774 60's not too bad for street tires. Lowering the air pressure helped a lot so you guys might want to remember this on your next trip to the track.

I know all about that rush of having your head slammed back. It's awesome!

The CTS-V is my wifes car. My car is a C6 ZO6 that cuts 1.38 60' times and runs consistent 9.90's
