2009+ Cadillac CTS-V
Hey all,
Bought myself a t-1000 a few days ago, still being shipped!
I live in DUBAI-U.A.E. n can't find any1 here who knows what a trinity is!
I have a 2009 CTS-V with a stickshift... picked it up a few months ago, now am ready to explore what's possible!
Looking to tune, get CAI n pulley kit in due time!
My issue is octane, our options here r 95 n 98! I don't see any1 here talking about tunes at these octane levels!
Would it be ok if I tried a 93tune on 95fuel??
Expecting my t-1000 to be here in a couple of weeks, can't wait to get u ur feedback after trying ur tunes!
Also, if there is anyway I can help u guys try out anythin, drop me a line huh?
The wife keeps naggin... HOW MUCH FASTER DO U NEED TO GO??
...she's got a point, but what does she know, right?

Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
Hi mikel, I hv the 11 V Coupe and I just added Airaid CAI and an axle back Corsa Sport exhaust and picking up my new Trinity 1000 tonite. Will the trinity support? I am also doing the 2.5 upper sc pulley with the polish and porting of the snout along with 160 deg thermostat........
RE: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
Yes, its supported. Get a 180 degree Stat instead of a 160. 160 is too cold.

Will I find the support here i will need to tweak or maximize the tunable parameters?Mike_Levy wrote:Yes, its supported. Get a 180 degree Stat instead of a 160. 160 is too cold.

Possibly. If you ask, someone will usually answer.
RE: Re: RE: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
You obviously have the CTS V. Any tips with regards to Trinity tuning?
RE: Re: RE: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
You obviously have the CTS V. Did u mod and put it on the company Dyno ? Numbers?
RE: Re: RE: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
I don't work for Diablosport, so it hasn't been on their dyno. It actually hasn't been on any dyno yet. When the upper pulley goes on I'll probably have it done. For now with just the lower its probably in the 650hp/650ft/lb area.
I can't really give any tips on tuning. I had to have a custom tune done when I put in bigger injectors, so all the tuning was done for me.

Re: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
Which is my best choice ? The Diablo Tune? 93 Octane? or 91 Octane. I find that all three are rich......i notice that all three have decel exhaust detonation! I know that means that the parameters are rich....which I do understand because Diablosport has to protect our CTSV. I was going to experiment by leaning out the A/F but I honestly do not know how far I can go! I notice that theoption to lean or rich is by a percentage of middle! You likely know where I can start without tyring 10 then 20 then 30 etc. Maybe I should just get you data downloads of three each of my cruising and WOT events and pay you the 135 or whatever it is ! When I pay for the custom tune do you give me the "best" possible tune ? It wont be rich A/F mix and best possible ignition and injector curves? Im willing to pay the money to save me the aches and pains of troial and error....or should I go get the CMR fr a local CMR rep?mikel wrote:the car we developed the inital canned tunes on had an Airaid and a catback, you should love itriderover wrote:Hi mikel, I hv the 11 V Coupe and I just added Airaid CAI and an axle back Corsa Sport exhaust and picking up my new Trinity 1000 tonite.
