Damn, NOBody is gonna be expecting that kinda level of modification on a basically brand new car. I bet the Lightning guy was at home on the internet looking up specs right after. Then seeing it was 7 flat 0-60, he probably made some angry calls to Ford ;) I love the CTS, hopefully it'll be my next daily driver. Do you have pix or vids anywhere? I'd love to check it out! Nice times!
 
I'll have to tell my mom. She was a powder puffer in the 60's and 70's with my dad, and still hasn't lost her need for speed. She buys a new Cadillac every two years and a new play toy every two years as well...that way she gets a new car every year. She absolutely LOVES my GN and begs me to bring it over so she can cruise in it. I'll have to e-mail her the pics so she can see the best of both worlds, and that I'm not the only nut that wants to transplant a GN set up into a Cadillac :D

cts second visit to union grove track, f body & turbo

Wednesday, my friend Tom Osiecki the owner of the turbo v6 cts

cadillac and I made it to the track for more test and tune runs and

some trophy racing.

He and I have worked together on many other turbo projects over the

last 13 years, the cadillac being the latest.

He has spent the past several months modifying the the car to

achieve the results so far, and has contracted me to produce the

intercooler, computer and harness modifications, fuel & ignition

tables, aluminum welding, and other engineering services to complete

the project implementation in May.

He may be reached at: 773-384-9000 / aalert@ameritech.net, and I may

be reached at: 773-685-1694 / nhn2@yahoo.com for other requests and comments.

Below are listed links to track videos, and some of my other similar
