2009 CTS-V A6 into see us after having some drivability concerns with a recent calibration done locally.
The concerns were documented, then logged with the customer in the vehicle. The vehicle not only had some serious issue with the transmission Calibration but the engine side was possibly even worse.
This vehicle was strapped down the the dyno where we data the car and showed the customer exactly what he paid for. This car put down some seriously low numbers....som**hing wasn't right.
So we did what we do best...find problems, correct them and make power properly.
This car made 539rwhp when it arrived.
Mods :
- air raid intake
- 90mm throttle body
- 2.5 upper pulley
- long tube headers ( catted )
- cat back exhaust
- 1000cc injectors
- alky control m**h kit ( using washer fluid )
This car was easily missing 60rwhp from what we know about these cars.
After reviewing the data we discovered the car had an AFR of 13.6 across the entire pull....Dangerously lean.
We put a plan together for the customer.
- DDP Intake w/LS9 Maf
- Inspect the Catalytic Converters
( suspected plugged )
- install in Spark Plugs
- fix m**h system and fill with pure alcohol
- Start over with new Calibration
What we found :
- plugged air filter insanely dirty
- one plugged cat
- failed m**h system ( pump, and maf controller)
- faulty throttle body
What we did :
- DDP intake
- new plugs gapped properly
- Replace cats
- replace throttle body with oem lsa
- replace m**h pump , maf controller size nozzle appropriately for power of car
- re- Calibrate car
Results :
597rwhp
Same boost, less timing, 11.0 afr with alcohol.
All transmission concerns addressed.
Another one out the door and working the way it should.
