Car is pretty loud with exhaust work.

I've never heard a better reason to add more power...

I went to Sachem for a few years then moved out east. But I know some '94 grads from there. Small world. Guess you must have spent some time at the old Long Island dragway, Deer Park Ave, Edison Ave, etc....I used to have a black '99 Firehawk hardtop with a Procharger back in the day.

Man as much as I look at some of the Euro sedans its hard not to consider the CTS-V! I think its only going to be a matter of time before the ZR1 guys start pulling off their R2300 blowers for the big Whipples or KB's or turbo kits. Than it should be quite easy and cheap to chase 700 rwhp.

Honestly I would even consider turbo charging, the V doesn't need any more torque right at the bottom!

A shop local here in KC did a custom twin turbo system on one that fed thru the stock 1.9, very cool set up.

Compound turbo charging....hmm I would think the R1900 would start being a restriction at certain boost levels. LSA with a front mount tied into the intercooler circuit and twin turbo's blowing into a Fast 102 intake.
