Is that what the back end of a regular CTS looks like? Huh, I've never seen that angle. LOL

[JimmyH]

Yah, more people see the back of my V (albeit from a distance) than my 3.6

[Highline Cady]

True... But now I got a sh** load of nitrous. Can't wait to see you at the Midwest Meet next year!!! LOL

[dwight.j.carter]

speaking of the Nitrous what kind of times are you putting out with it ?

[JimmyH]

maybe next year I will bring the CTS. The thing jumps off the line like nobody's business. If I took off with the V as fast, I would be leaving pieces of differential behind.

Haven't actually made it to the track yet, but according to data logs made in a "secret" location, which were in the mid 13's which is flat out flying in this tank. Gonna need more brakes. 14.6 @ 95 w/o Nitrous, figure + 125 shot will knock off around 1 second. I think we're going to go even bigger.

I was hoping to go this weekend but they have other stuff going on this weekend and I have it in the shop for a climate control issue, a window rattle, wind noise, new windshield washer squirters, and my pressure activated Nitrous bottle heater. I love the certification, especially when I saw what was involved with just getting to the 20 cent plastic noisy/groaning door just to replace it. You basically have to gut the interior, the bright side is it'll make it easy to install gauges when the parts are out.

Very nice keep us posted I will be interested to see what kind of times you put up. You have the best of the best working on your engine that's for sure.

[Highline Cady]

Yes I agree, the motor is fine, we've been working on dialing in the juice. Bought a pressure sensitive bottle heater and that was a huge help in being more consistent on the data logs, but now is hitting my lean limit set in the controller and the safety stuff, is doing it's job, instantly shuts down the nitrous as soon as it goes out of spec. So we upped the fuel pressure reg., but still goes lean. Might be getting to much fuel now and shutting down injectors. So we'll back her down %5, do more data logs, check w/ the tech 2 see if cylinders are shutting down and re-jet, and then more data logs and more dialing in.

We're close, and spent some $ and allot of time taking it slow and getting it right, the system is done very nicely very clean look and everything you don't want to see is tucked away and hidden perfectly (AJ's the man!!!) We just gotta dial her in, perfectly, and I have no doubt at all, it will be perfect when we are done, just like every other mod that has been done. I got a crazy wicked sleeper here, can't wait to get her to the track!!! Timeslips, pics, video soon to come on the Nitrous thread.

there was a guy on here Mark99STS that put a turbo on his STS. He posted an update recently that he had to get some kind of independent controller for the car. If I can find the thread I will throw up a link for it maybe it will help you guys out.

[Highline Cady]

Ya, that would be nice.
I had heard from a friend of a friends 3rd cousin twice removed, ya one of those stories,
that Mark had blown up the STS because the cylinders shut down through the pcm causing it to go lean, obviously, and then kaboom. It would make sense and I think I might be running into a similar problem with too much fuel causing "injector lock" which then the pcm shuts down cylinders causing me to go lean. Might have to go with smaller jets I really don't want to go aftermarket just to much $, but we'll find out tomorrow by hooking up the tech2 and more data logging with the laptop, also we have a few other adjustments to make, would have done it tonight but I got way sidetracked. I really want 450+hp at the crank on the juice but we'll see, maybe dial it down a little until we find away around this, time will tell, even a conservative 75 shot would be fun, but I want to do way more, if the pcm can keep up with the nitrous we'll go with the biggest jets we can, just more time testing and tunning, get back to it tomorrow actually I guess later today.
