Scheduled the first oil change for Friday AM at the dealer. Wish me luck..

Have you had a chance to get any more dragy runs in?

Took storage insurance off it and took it out for the first drive of the season since we had our first 50 degree day. All of 12 miles to work and back to pick up a package. Feels good man.

I think the one thing holding back interest on any aftermarket catback/axleback exhaust for the Blackwings is the lack of integration of the exhaust flaps. Did they say if they would have flaps on their exhaust or not?

Hmm. I didn't have any brake ducts in my trunk when I bought my car. They're probably installed on the car. ;shrug

I took this picture last year for this thread and never posted it. Summer needs to hurry up!

I was going to say... That doesn't look TOO too bad. The red CF bits actually look good with the SKG seats. White car with red wheels is a nice combo (kinda like a 997 GT3 RS).

8.01 with the 6mt and being stock is really good. I ran the same exact time in my A10 car but with an incline in decent weather.

Yeah I saw that one being developed but it's been almost a year in the making but communication has seemed spotty so I figured I'd try my luck with eBay in the meantime. Usually eBay is pretty good when it comes to returns and/or customer claims so we'll see how this goes...

Ordered the eBay CF spoiler on Friday after reading some good reviews on it. Looks like it'll be delivered this coming Friday and I'll install it after I pull the car out of the seemingly never-ending Winter slumber.

I'd be interested to see some Dragy runs with the new setup..

Lucky... its been 3 months for me. :cry:

I'll help you out!

Yeah I read that graph and made my post before I had my coffee... lol Lost torque down low but gained after 4000 RPM but overall it lost peak torque which seems odd given the gains in power.

Nice torque gains across the curve too...

Fair. In the LMP video they went 10.99 at 129. So about 2-3 MPH more than most other CT5-V BW runs I've seen.

There were significant gains throughout the entire powerband but especially up top. With an A10 car, the car is constantly in that sweet spot where the gains are. I believe without a tune there is some power/torque limiting going on with the Global B software which isn't putting that full amount...

I'm skeptical on the real-world gains of the ported blower without at tune. Yes, I saw the YT video where the car picked up 60 rwhp, but FishinV ran pretty much the same time as the ported blower car (within .10) with slicks and an otherwise stock car. Equal cars with a ~60 hp advantage should...

Plugged the battery tender up to it in prep for a long winter's slumber.

I've always said that if the "regular" CT5-V came with a LT1 and AWD I would have bought that over the Blackwing. Then I would have driven it year round.
