-17 deg what to do ?

[Manny@Dasilva]

Well if your E.C.P, what else.............you put a cam in an 07 CTSV that you recently put a blower on

This is Nik's 07 LS2 CTSV with a Maggie and some other goodies. This week we installed an 8 rib belt pulley set-up, custom E.C.P blower Comp cam,Comp double springs,ti retainers , Comp push rods, Yella Terra Rockers ,JP double roller chain & gears along with a melling oil pump. Nice and this is a DD

Here are a few pictures :

I told you it was a daily driver

The old springs

The new springs

The new pulleys and the timing cover off

The old stick coming out

The new stick in as well as timing chain & oil pump and the Yella Terra's

More pictures to come later after we install the driver's side hardened shaft and fire this puppy up

If you put a cam into a blown Caddy when it is -17 degrees, I would hate to see what you would do if it hit -35!

WoW... what kind of performance numbers are you expecting from it? (just go get an idea) Should be around 550 RWHP i would guess? THAT would be fun!!!

With just the maggie and meth , it put down 494 RWHP and 490RWTQ with only 6lbs boost. With this cam and some more boost we should be right around 575 safely.
Here's a little clip of the start up we just did and judging by the thumbs up from Rob ,I think Nik will be very pleased. I will post the dyno graph once we are done with the tuning this week.

Holy crap. That would be one wicked ride!

This is Nik, aforementioned owner of the crazy Caddy. Just wanted to say many thanks to Manny and Rob for the work they've so far put into the car. It's been a long journey this past year.

Next on list will be headers and likely a new clutch. (C6 monster stage 3 kind).

Thanks lads.

Nice work guys!

 

[HLN A55]

wicked ride!! I like the functionality of it too actually. Poor ZR-1's won't know what hit them LOL

Thumbs up Manny!!

Oh and this is an excellent cam for a daily driver. Honestly, don't know I have it until I hear the rumble from behind which is exactly what I wanted.

So the interior is still relatively quiet? Is the car as easy to drive as always or have you noticed if it has become finicky at all?

 

[HLN A55]

I think his next clutch will determine that lol can't see that stocker lasting a whole lot longer. Plus if there are still the factory manifolds (and maybe cats) it should get louder when that gets changed out too!!

Right on the button LOL , Nik just ordered headers, wires and clutch . So the monster will be back in a couple of weeks for the final stage ........stay tuned

good thing too!!! LOL I figure he'd have put the rev limiter to good use keeping the stock clutch in it

Can't wait to hear the final product!!! I couldn't believe the difference that headers and x-pipe made when I listened to some comparisons!

 

[Riley P]

Yah, but can he do a burnout like the Yellow Z06? That guy didn't even need to spin his tires to make his car smoke.

Nice work Manny. I see it's a daily driver, but Jesus! Somebody wash that thing!

Very much so. Only noteworthy thing is the more pronounced shake/judder when idling. Not irritating in any way.

 

[Nik]

It's been washed lads Need to get manny into car detailing.

Running high flow cats btw hence additional noise.

Taking bets on next dyno pull on Thursday.

 

[HLN A55]

What are we tsaking the bets on!!! Lol. If the stock clutch holds? Hahahahaha
