Supercharged CTS-V Cadillac built by LMR. This car is making 700hp and it drives like it's still stock. Check out //www.hightechcorvette.com Follow us on ...
O wow wasnt it ferrari that was looking at the new tec goin into the
handling of the ctsv coupe o ya thts right it was humm well i would say if
thy are looking at somthing in a ''pice of shit american car'' (your words)
thn wht does tht say about thm or actually wht does tht say about the ctsv
or american cars wht about the ssc the once fastest production car in the
world above the buguatti untill the supper sport ya thats made in america
also wish i got on here jst to talk shit and be hard.!!
@mkuroglu The only way that the N20 can catch fire is if ti has a ignitor.
I have had my bottle over filled and the blow off valve went. Id did
absolutely no damage to my car, my house or anything. Other than the fact
that I had to wait a bit for my garage to air out there where no issues. So
if it is not being used, or its in my garage with no ignition, it will
dissipate into the atmosphere like oxygen, or CO2. As for using it all the
time, also it goes back to usage.
@mkuroglu I was motor only for many years with the Vette but I thought I
would give it a try. the guy who did my set up is the #2 LS tuner/mechanic
here in AZ. So the guy has a following and he has a very good tuning record
with nitrous oxide. I would say this stay motor for as long as you can
stand it. Because once you start adding power adders you are more likely to
start breaking stuff. Enjoy the car and thanks again for the smart and
delightful conversation.

@mkuroglu You are about as ignorant on nitrous oxide as i am on mechanical
engineering. I have been running nitrous oxide in my corvette for 3 yrs now
with out one incident. Is there a possibility of fire, yes, but that is if
you do not take care of your equipment, just like if you do not take care
of any equipment it will fail. Get educated on nitrous oxide and actually
know how the system works before posting up ignorant comments.
@TheRebuttle Although you came back with an okay argument it has a flawed
logic. N20 can catch fire when it is not being used or when it is in your
garage. So the taking care of equipment argument goes down the drain. No
CNCed cylinder head catches fire on its own if you know what I mean. And
man I would use the laughing gas for like a drag event or 1 mile run but to
use it everyday in a car I drive often.... is madness.
@mkuroglu while the SC or turbo is there on tap, and they are "on" all the
time, unless you are putting both under load they are not being "used" Same
thing with the N2O unless you using it for a race or under "load" its a
none issue. But good try, I like people who I can give a "rebuttal" to who
like to debate subjects on facts and are not small minded and childish.
thumbs up to you.
I like all you guys who are like "dur you idiots, 700hp at the
crank!!1!!!!!", when NOBODY cares about crank hp, especially when they show
the chassis dyno at real world hp. And, if you want to be technical, it's
likely still not 700hp when you take into acount the 15% drivetrain loss.
It is a nice V though, regardless.
@TheRebuttle Except you're refilling a bottle for the rest of your life.
Not to mention N2o's tendency for...shall we say, unexplained pyrotechnics.
Oh and these cars have intercoolers to help manage heat. I don't have it
out for nitrous but there are reasons you don't see them in OEM
applications.
it made 612 wheel horsepower on the dyno. That mens it's certainly making
around 700 hp at the engine/crank. Since youtube is full of magazine racers
like you, the video poster put the engine/crank hp in the title so you
wouldn't get confused. Turns out it didn't matter.
While i like what GM has done with supercharging the caddy and the vette I
still think that N2O is better for street application. No heat soak, no
worries, and no needing power to make power. Mine is on tap every time and
I don't care how hot or not it is out side.
@TheRebuttle Thanks for the thumbs up but I am also a Vette driver
afterall... Still though I differ on my view about the "laughing gas" I
might have to maybe live with it a couple days then it could change my mind
but for now I am motor only.
Considering it's making 612whp.. factor in 14% of drivetrain loss and it's
a hair under 700 hp. Which is what they are stating. There is a difference
between hp (crank hp) and whp. All manufacturer's rate their engine's at
the crank.
@dirtyhotyoung I disagree. It looks good but sounds ugly. It is an ugly
sound that I like however. It has an unrefined, brute, raw sound but I like
it. I want one but I am going to have to wait till I can afford one.
Well before you assume do the math! 612 plus 15% is 704 and 15% is on the
low side pending on transmission. typically its 18%-20% if it's a stick. So
700 horsepower and then some.
I've always thought "crank horsepower" is a stupid way to measure power.
The crank isn't propelling the car -- the wheels are. Wheel horsepower
makes a lot more sense.
you know that is wheel hp right so at the crank it's 700. example a Hyundai
sonata put out 250 hp but at the wheel it is about 200 you know what i mean
