Bump?

Johan made his way to Sweden for a 2 week vacation, so we're a little behind on this front

OK Gents....

Johan is building a update for trinity right now to add support for all 09+ CTS-V models!

You'll have 91 and 93 octane tunes, as well as 91/93 octane pulley tunes for up to 15 psi!

AH, and it has TCM support

NICE!! I just want the TCM support, don't really need more power.

Out of curiosity, what'd it do on the dyno?

Post by **mikel** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 1:31 pm

We've tuned a bunch, here, and Johans done a few on the side on a MD, but they all make great power.

lemme see if I can dig up Marsads dyno sheet...

second one is stock vs tune only, first is stock tuned vs pulley+tune

Note how fat the stock tune is....

this car went like 11.59 at 123 on stock tires, just pulley, CAI, heat exchanger, and a conservative tune.

Nice. 11.59 on exactly the stuff I have sitting here waiting to be installed.

which CAI and heat exchanger did you get/

Post by **mikel** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 1:58 pm

Lower pulley I presume?

Mike_Levy · Post by **Mike_Levy** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:04 pm

Airaid CAI, D3 exchanger, 2.5" Metco upper pulley.

Oh and a 90mm LS3 TB, thats gotta be sent out for a port and polish before I throw it on.

Curious on the TB. I believe the stocker is already a 90. Seems the gains are in porting the blower inlet behind the TB...

The Airaid is great. Havent used the D3 yet, but it looks similar to the Hennessey.

Haven't done any upper pulleys yet, just lowers. Have to see if you have any belt slip issues

The stock TB is 87mm. The blower snout will definitely be getting ported when I pull it to swap the pulley. Thats why I decided to do the upper. Its a lot cheaper, and it gives me a reason to pull the snout, so I can port it and change out the shitty stock coupler for a solid one.

The D3 heat exchanger is custom made for the V, and is the biggest that will fit in the bumper. Its 5.5" thick! Hennesseys is just a regular Fluidyne radiator that he welds a bracket to. Not nearly worth the $800 he gets for them. http://www.d3cadillac.com/products/ctsvintercoole

I hope theres not too much belt slip with the smaller upper. If there is I guess I can always get a bigger idler to maximize the wrap.

doing all that, yet in your other post you say you were interested in just the tcm part of the tune, that you didn't want any more power

Mike_Levy · Post by **Mike_Levy** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 3:43 pm

I don't need any more power. I can't get it to hook now. Doesn't mean i'm not gonna add as much power as I can though. I'll probably limit this car to about 750. I almost never go to the track and thats more then enough to get me in trouble.
