:( Killed by a CTS

[Hivolts]

My Buddy and I lined up for a rolling race down I-95 tonight. Started even at about 40mph...I got the jump and had him through 3rd and 4th but then he destroyed me. He has an '05 Cadillac CTS with the corvette engine - 6spd. I guess I'm no match for that weight difference. Now I know what to ask Innovative Diesel for this Christmas......enough horsepower to be a Cadillac CTS with a vette engine.

That car runs a 13.1 second quarter mile. How many HP's do I need to get under 13 seconds? I'm guessing 650-700?

575HP should be good.

SickStroke...I like your signature...that's what I have to tell the stealership tomorrow. I'm loosing coolant bad and lots of pressure build up in the degas. I have ARP Studs and Onyx gaskets. While they are in there I am going to add EGR delete pipe. What else could I add that wouldn't cost a fortune or would make sense while its apart. My warranty runs out in a month so I'm not worried of voiding the warranty.

[SickStroke6.0]

ELC Coolant, 6.4 Banjos, Updated Ford Fuel Pressure Regulator, and the Updated STC fitting.

If you want more power let me know, and I can list out the expensive parts.

You have to remember that vette engine is a top end motor and that is why he started pulling away like that after 4th.

Correct me if I am wrong but it should be a CTS-V if it has the vette motor in it.

[kingranch89]

yea thats the car he is talking about

[dannanw]

either way it still has a big V8 in a small car......13.1 in 1/4 is not that ez with out alot of $$ invested. no matter what make/model/year diesel truck.
