gotcha… but the tune…would be the reason for more horsepower… The intake alone like I thought, gets around 19-24whp. Still damn good. ---

That’s the lowest dyno test out of 4-5 that I’ve seen, but even at that for $230 ill be happy with 24hp. I’ll have it on the dyno at some point this year to see what its doing ---

GM High Tech just did a LSA CTS-V that made another 60hp just from intake mods but that did include porting the blower snout. They take a lot of time to make sure you cant hear those things coming! ---

Very nice car. I’m a huge fan of the CTS and STS V series. Got a chance to sit in a 2012 CTSV coupe at the auto show at the TU Center last week. Car is bad ass. ---

Have the plastic around the motor paint matched to the body and ditch the engine cover. Would probably be tits IMO. If ya dont mind me asking, What was the damage on that bad boy? ---

From my research it seems d3 charge am insane amount for so so product. There are a few other companies out there, been doing some homework on it. Engine cover has to come off for the intake and won’t go back on without some trimming, so ill probably leave that at. Paining the plastics is a good idea, just not sure the best way to do it underhood without it looking like crap down the road. After I pay NYS their cut, ill be ar right around $25k on the car. Thing left the lot in 08 at just shy of $79k. It’s got a bit of high miles being in the 60’s but its still under the gm warranty for over a year. ---

Oh yeah, forgot to put a pic of the HUD up.
