Sweet build.... that killer chiller set up is nice. CTSV is badass bro.
I like your CTS V I like things upgrades you did to your car. I plan on doing about the same thing your videos been inspirational thanks for sharing. I have 2011 Cts v coupe
Thanks for your quick response and I really appreciate the info you provided. I will definitely stay in touch with you especially once I purchase one.
Sounds good!
Do you care to have a quick convo w a cts v owner and lend some quick guidance possibly? Please.
Great video. You had me right up to the point where you shut off the ac to cool the charger. You must be in Alaska. I am in Florida. Air conditioning is more important than oxygen. Thank you for the video.
Great Job. I'm running a 2014 CTS V 640 H.P. LOTS OF FUN.....
Aye man I’m thinking of getting a 2014 CTS what’s some good mods brother
Simply have the Lingenfelter Upgrade. That brought mine to 642 on the Dino. They replace the Stator, Belt, New Cog for the Supercharger, and they must Re-port the input and exits of the Air Flow. Beyond this you will need to get Larger injectors,and a Total New Dino Tuned Engine. This will mean running more Boost. Around 15 Max.
the car looks very sweet
Thats a real tuff whip you got there
Great video brother. Money well spent...
Devell Wilson thank you! Yeah deffinetly enjoying the investment!
@@CarWars should I get c6 grand sport or v2 ctsv? Plan on supercharging if getting c6. But would also want to build the ctsv a little bit if I went that route. I was told you can draw nearly 100 more hp over stock from the ctsv for under a grand. The not being able to swap out the stock stereo head unit easily on ctsv is a huge drawback for me though. Just me and my girl, no kids. . C6 with magnetic ride control or ctsv?
Awesome video..love the car!!
Awesome build.....but I don't think I need that much out of my ctsv yet....lol nice job man
Wow very impressive man
Nice job good info
Thank you for Sharing
You're in South Carolina! Awesome.
MrJetPac yep!
Hey, bro thanks for these videos that’s really cool as a V2 owner to see this stuff about our cars .... My 13V is stock, and I wanted to run e85 can you point me in the right direction as a DIY? Also talked about supporting mods for cooling and the catch can, should I start with these?
Your awesome brotha! Keep them coming...
maybe the V3 in the near future lol. 😈😎
For sure! Thanks
Nice build! and Nice Color as well! my 2011 has 36k on the clock and doesn't come out much.
Quenton Freeney thanks and yeah I don't take mine out very often also
+1 as a fellow V owner. I appreciate how real you are! Love your vids bro, legit dude... A lot of gained experience 😎
Good job
Great video!
ALKO Spokane thanks man!
Bro your car is badass...
Wow nicely done. I haven’t touched my 12 coupe yet. Other than wheels and tires.
Thanks, yeah this thing had pretty much everything touched lol
Nice deal yes sir keep it pushin
Ha THANKS man, your car is super nice. We have a std 09. It's o.k., maybe so.eday I'll find one. Have a great week bra
thought he was tom brady when he walked out the door
Beautiful car
Nice ride .
What did you use to seal the fitting on the fuel tank? Nice car man. I'm building a similar build on my V2
Amazing 👏!!!
What Supercharger pulley do I need, and what Balancer pulley do I need? And the belt to go with this combo. Love your car, just got a stock 2013 Coupe CTS V. also What Thermostat, and is there a Programing Set up for just these changes, Thanks Dan
Loved the video of your car. I have a 2012 CTSV that is stock other than a cool intake upgrade. I wish I had someone in the NY (queens) area that could help build my car like yours. Completely bad ass sleeper. Unfortunately i am now disabled and unable to do anything mechanical anymore. ((It would be an awesome video as well) Godspeed my friend
I know a very reputable mechanic about 5 hours away.
He’s passionate and only builds things properly.
I think “pitbull garage” is in Nyc he seems legit.

Nice to have u!
Car looks and preforms great!
One question I have is when you're at the track and you're using the AC to cool your brick doesn't your evap leak condition on the track? The reason I ask is the track I used to run at said "do not" run your AC as it will drip on the track which could cause an accident.
Yeah it does, I got in trouble a few times. But to be honest I actually took that system off already
Looks like i stumbled on your show A bit late but i like what you have going on & your many good ideas & i need all the good advise i can get ,i have A '05 V that i gone thru 10 years ago now im fired up again & pulling it out the closet it has 402 cid Patriot heads ,cam, 2300 supercharger ,kook headers ect.
6 speed auto Hughs Trans & 9" ford irs with 4:56 gears & A one piece Alum. drive shaft , & has alcohol injector , dyno at 670rwhp , nothing compared to yours !
Pretty fuel pump 😍 Yeah he went full metal #KillerChiller
bad ass build
Thanks man! I should probably take it out a little more often then I do lol
Great build. The cut outs are a must in any build
The external fuel system is T’d into fuel rail or how are you routing it?
To be honest the cut outs are just show, when we were on the dyno we didn't pick up any power. But yeah the the pump is T'd in but it's T'd in by the fuel tank
Where did you buy that qtp setup an get the switch into your car that raw ash??🔥🔥
So would it be possible to get this whole setup minus the 418 stroker?
What 50mm bottom idler did you go with? I see that Weapon X has the 100mm upper but they don’t have a lower. . .
I guess my CTS-V likes this video
Monster.
can regular pump gas work safely with this setup or it must use e85?
Nice
Transmission and power train upgrades?
What size belt (or part number) for the supercharger belt drive? Similarly, I’m running the 2.55 upper and 9.55 lower (along with the 100mm and 50mm idlers). Thanks in advance!
Charles Farmer Gates #K080685HD
What if anything was done to the rear axle to handle the increased horsepower. I had a wagon I bought used and am so sorry now we sold it.
Thank you
Danyyil Tkachenko ur welcome
Overall, how much did this run you? Ball park? Thanks
What’s done to the transmission?
What year is your car? I have same setup on my2012 minus the killer chiller
Any transmission modifications?
I live near Aiken SC. Would you be willing to help me with the V I plan on purchasing in a few months
Around how much was the budget for all that build if you don’t mind me asking?
10 g i'm betting
over 10 grand
870 hp is not cheap by all means
Umm how much do you charge to pit a supercharger and rebuild a motorist the same setup you did on yours
Great video vey detailed an in-depth. Did you do all your mods yourself? What was the cost for everything if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at buying a CTS V Gen 2 this year and I want to know the price range of the mods so I can get them done right and last a long time.
I did a lot of the work my self, some of the stuff like porting I sent out but if you go for a package like mine ur looking close to 25k-30k if u have a shop do it
U can do light mods that aren't all that expensive like couple hundred for an intake, $700 or so for a cam (with out labor), hundred something for pulley and couple hundred on tune depends who u use
Hi brother pretty cts v, I buy one 2009 one week a go... If do u can tell me what brand is ur headers and x pipe?? i want nice sound, please let me know Thanks
Thank you and I have stainless works headers and x pipe
Nice video. I'm in SC also, be nice if I could get my G8 to move that fast. How much did the mods set you back $
Chevy Boy if u buy everything I got you'll be looking around 20k depending on who is doing the labor
Who did your labor boss?
I did montmorsport stage 2 (about 525whp). Looking to do headers and an x pipe next. Should I go long or short tube? What brand do you have?
i have long tube and mine are "stainless works"
I went 2" texas speed catless longtube, love em
Can I do all these mods without rebuilding engine ?
Ed- still have this beast?
Could I do this full mod list minus the 418? If so about how much would I be looking at HP and Money wise.
Retro Zoe same HP, u just dont have to worry bout ur sbe, you are set for whatever u throw at it. Money wise ur looking at parts alone close to 8k and idk bout labor, i do my own work
surprised its only a BTR stage 2. Silicone sealant on the fuel tank line? MM on the rear of the engine? How do you drain that?
Stage 2 is a really good cam. Easier on the valve train for a daily driver.
How much hp can a 13 wagon make on stock motor?
Any 1/4 mile times?
I was thinking he had built up a stock CTS-V motor. Good video but this don't help me with my CTS-V motor upgrades.
+He went *WAY* above and beyond for the mods he has, all the mods he has outside the block can be ran on the Stock LSA bottom end with no issues (technically speaking). The engine he has is built for 1k+ RWHP, he's running a mild upper pulley (2.55) and could easily run far smaller. The killer chiller is a nice addition but not needed (Trunk tank is generally just as good performance for a 1/4 of the cost).
Most of the mods he has, if not ALL the mods he has you can (generally) safely run on a stock LSA block.
How many miles on the car?
How much did it roughly cost for the build
I'm in Greenville area, mostly FBO, but need to do cooling.
Steve Burdett oh nice! Might meet you at cars an coffee if you go but yeah cooling mods make a difference, I was running a different HX pump and it kept glitching but once I went to the Verimax I saw a big difference but to be honest I'd go bigger
if Im in town I will try to make it.
Sweet caddy. Cars and coffee this Saturday!!!
Greer drag open this week too!!!
Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure if I'll make it to cars and coffee but me and a few of my buddies are planning to go to Greer drag.
Okay so I have a 2014 cts v bone stock 44,000 miles I raced a fbo 850hp hell cat I get him on the go no matter if it's dig or a roll at 100mph he catches me and at around 110-115mph it's bye bye lol he gets me about 2 cars at around 140-160mph do u think if I do fbo and drag pack I could beat the hell cat or should I just sell my V and buy 18-19 mustang and go with a Paxton s/c ???????? Thanks in advance!
I would mod the V, you could do bolt on's and make really good power and should be cheaper then the Paxton.
i have a 2008 Cadllic CTS and i want it to be my first project car. is it better to tune that up or just get a CTS-V??
Definetly get a cts-v, the car is built for racing, the base cts isn't. But one thing is that parts are pretty expensive
True. CTS V and CTS are two different cars. Yet. I have a red 2012 CTS premium 3.6 AWD. Bridgestone 19 Ts. Still 318 hp is no slouch. Excellent car.
Thanks for both of your opinions
Do those drag radials dead hook on the street from a roll?
Patrick M. Blanchard depends on how warm it is outside, on a warm day I can get them to dead hook in 2nd
just a estimate. How much does a build like this cost? 15k? 20k? etc
Hey man if you dont mind me asking, how much did all that run you with labor and everything?
My setup from a shop is around $24k
I'm in Florence. Where are you located?
Asking out of curiosity I realize it wouldn't be as reliable but can you get 750-800whp using a stock LSA?
650whp is the “safe” reliable limit
No cats?any issues with check engine lights
Nope, the tuner tuned everything out
How much boost you building? Also how much was the head porting?
david pereira according do my pulley setup I should be at 15-16, I have a stock gauge and that's what it points to. I paid $1225 for porting of the heads, they had to replace a runner, porting of the throttle body, and shipping. It was kinda like a package deal so I don't remember exactly how much just the heads were
Where in SC are you?
I want to hear it run stock and with the cutouts open!
I have cutouts on my 2014 CTSV coupe, my button to open the cutouts in on the drivers seat in front of my recaro seat adjusters. It take 4 seconds holding my button down for the cutouts to open or close fully. I can adjust my sound level to 5 different sound levels depending how long I keep the button engaged. It works well, I was tired of all the power I had but my car sounded very quite, not now if I wanted to, I could wake our neighborhood up....lol
what is the paint code or make ?
How much money u got just in the motor mods
This is going to be my next car was wondering the price to make this kind of power and if auto or manual will play a factor or transmission running this kind of power
Blake Santiago ok well depends if you will get a shop to do all the work or you can do stuff your self, my setup is about $26k, that's not including labor on part of the build. If you go to these numbers it's really nice to have auto because you run a smaller risk of miss shifting or anything else you can do to mess things up, also with auto you will be faster.
Blake Santiago and they say these auto transmissions can hold 800 wheel HP stock
Sounds great I'll be looking at getting one this year
Blake Santiago yeah man I highly recommend it, I really like the car!
Really informative! I'm also planning on trading in the STI and getting a V. It's a fun daily driver, but I'm feeling like leveling up... wont be till next year though (cant have it stock, feel like I'd just be upset until its modded) but making plans!
+1 on the sub Bro!
The reason why I ask is because in the stock rocker arms has those needle bearings .... looks to me with high horse power engines if one would dry up needle bearings will get into your oil that would be very damaging they have a kit looks to be better and safer check out Steve's Morrises engines he did a video on it....
Oh ok, thanks for the heads up! I'll have to look into it!
Does the killer chiller delete the A/C unit?
No it uses the same A/C as the interior of the car. But honestly don't buy the killer chiller brand, I got rid of mine
good info but you have things in there that you don't really need. good build tho! 750whp CTSV owner also.
Gavin Davis thanks! and what do I not need?
the idler pulleys aren't really necessary. Correct belt length fixes that(not saying yours is not correct). The manley oil pump is nice but a ported stock oil pump does the same. ZL1 lid still has yet to be "proven" as better than a stock lid. Our builds are similar tho... One of GP Tuning stage 2.5 cam, ZR1 IC pump, 2.4/8.6 pulley combo. Not running external fuel pump either, IDC is pretty good where my tuner didn't think we need it at this point. NGK BRF7 spark plugs. , we have same injectors. My god brother is in Spartanburg... maybe we can hook up when i come down.
Gavin Davis oh well yeah some of the stuff I put on just to be on the safe side but the zl1 lid I really like how it looks and my original brick went bad (some of the cooling fins started falling out) so I got the lid but they say it flows better because it's taller. But yeah I go to cars and coffee and drag from time to time so if u in town come on over
This or a vette???
What part of South Carolina do you reside? I live in Sumter SC I also have a full bolt on CTS V
Jamaican_Johnny oh nice! I'm in Spartanburg SC
Your about 2 and a half hours away
Im in Orangeburg. AWESOME
Ported everything 😱😱
did you upgrade your rocker arms
No I didnt
Hey I'm in Wilmington NC area we should collab
You know what else you got? A lot more money than I got!
Wonder how much you would pick up if you swapped to the heartbeat supercharger.
Nathan Hensley I ran a guy on the track and he had almost same parts that I have but he also had the heartbeat and I actually still took him
heck yea. how much boost is it building?
Nathan Hensley I'm actually not sure, after I beat him he didn't want to talk lol
i am talking about your car.lol also whos flex fuel sensor you using?
Nathan Hensley oh lol I'm supposed to be getting 15-16 psi according to the pulley setup I have, I use the stock gauge to look at boost and it's not the most accurate thing out there. But I got the Dedicated Motorsports Flex Fuel Sensor
can i put a cts-v motor in a 2005 cts?
Everything is possible but thats alot of work
How much was build?
Don u do most of the work yourself?
Hey I’m curious how much power can I make with it until i need to really change things out.
I’m getting a 2.4 pulley DW900 LS injectors and 340pound fuel pump, and going to e85 tune. But I know that’s only 650hp on the good day. I want to know if there are better routs to get easy power, more power. But not nitrous :/. Thanks
Danyyil Tkachenko if I was you I'd go on this link and use the info of what they do. Check out the packages and ull see what parts you need for how much HP
vengeanceracing.net/packages-ctsv2.html
How can I send a pic to you of my car
how much did your interchiller cost, thinking about doing this mod. and where did you get it from,
I got a "killer chiller" it's from a guy online, I don't wanna share the website with u because to be honest I would say don't use this guys product, the guy is hard to deal with and his product is really hard to make work properly, I actually took it off my car. There is a company that sells "forced interchillers" there out of Australia I heard their product works a lot better but they are around $2k I believe for the kit.
@@CarWars Car Wars thanks alot for the reply, and yes I heard of them, I'll reach out to them, I have a coupe with 37k on it. wasnt trying to rebuild motor, but would love to get at least 6xx to the wheels, any tips? was thinking Texas speed headers and x pipe, 2.50/9.1 pully, cam, injectors. and a tune, lmk if I'm missing something lol
@@jonwavy6242 no problem and yeah that should put you in the 6xx range, I think u got most of the parts, u might just need an intake
@@CarWars last question should I just do the lower pully, and cam while i do the 160° thermostat because there in the same location? trying to avoid getting charged twice lol
@@jonwavy6242 yeah it should save you some money if you do at the same time but the labor for the cam and pulley is going to add on a good bit cuz it's a good bit of work
Where can I buy the 2.55 upper pulley and belt? Part numbers?
Ricardo Rodriguez www.montmotorsports.com
You can call him and he will get u all the parts u need
Thank you
