You are pretty limited on doing any serious boost on a completely stock motor. 10lbs max. It will make some good power though due to the high compression. Rod bolts and pistons are the weakest parts.

 

[Yaj Yak]

so like 5-7 lbs would be okkkay?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Yup. Most kits you can buy run 7lbs max out of the box.

 

[smug]

I like where this is going

thats what ive seen/heard, u really dont wanna run much more due to the high compression but that was already stated before

 

[Allmachtige]

Only 6psi for an extra 135WHP isn't bad:

Not an LS6, but whatever.

in4turboCTS-V?

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

Turbo on a CTS-V1 will require a lot of plumbing since it will end up being a rear mounted setup. I've seen it done but the guy who did it ended up cutting through his whole trunk bottom to make it fit. He was the first person to do it and there's clips on youtube showing it in action. It was for sale on eBay not that long ago.

STS also makes a kit but I haven't heard of anyone buying one. Most CTS-V1 guys do the Maggie route while a select few go Pro.

Maggie FTMFW! Do it, KJ (read: DEVIN)!!!!

7lbs and that car will be moving the hell out...

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

Whatever you do, make sure the car has an 06-07 diff, the 04-05 units are known to grenade very easily. There are also revised axles available from GForce, Hendrix, and DSS to help numb the wheelhop plague the cars are prone to experience.

Why not a Magnacharger?

^^^^^

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Id rather have a procharger, if there is even a kit for that car.

rear mount setup seems pretty super duper... and yeah we know it would take quite a bit of plumbing.

he's got a kars kit to reduce wheelhop... its a pretty intense major bracket deal... and the car has no wheelhop now.

dude 8400 $.

fuck
that

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

That is their installed price, dunno what it costs to just straight up buy the kit.

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

dude 8400 $.

fuck
that

I like the kit but I never agreed with the price either lol

Keep in mind that CTS-V has a Madman Ford 9" conversion also...that was like about another 4500-5k Ha!

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah kit is sick. and 9" would be badass.

This is the car in action. Keep in mind he has a cast on his foot..

F1-A ProCharged LS2/402 Forged w/AFR 225 heads & Fast 92mm intake
Methanol Injection
1-7/8" kooks w/ Corsa
Stage V Trans by RPM w/ 9" Ford IRS
UUC Shifter
Msd shift lite
Custom gauge pod w/dual interceptor scan gauges w/wide band
Launch control
Line lock
Hre C-20 wheels
GY gsd3's 255/40/18 front & BFG T/A 295/35/18 DR rear
Kw,var-3 Coilovers
Built & Tuned by EPP------- 864 rwhp / 776 rwtq
9" IRS built & installed by------- Madman Racing

I think its pretty decent considering the launch and 2-3 shift...and the fact that dudes foot was messed up. To top it off it was his first pass at the track with his setup. With a proper launch/gearshifts this old man car is in the low 10s easy

 

[TonzKnock-G]

I think the G8 Magna kits start with 6lbs boost with no other upgrades needed.
