1,000HP CTS-V with too much power for the tires!

This beautifully wrapped yellow CTS-V built by Zenith Autoworks, comes in and gets our LMR 1,000 hp package. This car makes crazy power on 93 octane! It's pushing over 17 lbs. of boost with the Magnuson blower and it screams at wide open throttle! This is definitely the perfect family cruiser for all you muscle guys out there!

I always had a secret love for CTS V’s from the brutal exhaust note to the sharp and cunning design 😍

[@atamagashock]

I absolutely love the ctsv! To me it’s a modern day Buick GN. Brutal muscle car power, disguised in a family sedan.

It’s just so mean. Ctsv over hellcats all day for me imo

Recently changed jobs and will be averaging 1600+ miles a month. Bought a 2016 Cadillac XTS Vsport. Can't believe how well it cruises the interstates. 27 mpg. Getting tuned soon. Had a wicked CTS do a fly by in Atlanta....if only Cadillac would have put AWD on the CTS.

Between this and what LMR is doing with the twin-turbo C8, I really like how you approach these projects. I've got a V3 CTS-V and will probably grab a C8 Z06 so there's a good chance I'll be seeing you at some point :)

[@jamessowder193]

What makes you say that, just curious? I would say pushing it to 1000 HP with stock internals is a stretch if it's gonna have longevity and reliability. Considering it sounds like it's gonna be a daily driver too.

so quick question to pick everyones brains. Have an 05 ctsv headers and 8 psi balancer pulley. The injectors that came with the maggie mp112 are in there. I got a flexfuel kit but then i started wondering if those injectors at 8 pounds of boost would they be enough?

[@Zslowzr1]

I hope nobody follows this video in terms of mechanical work on an engine. Using an impact gun to tighten down the timing cover and running down head bolts with an impact...wow. You can actually hear the head bolts struggling as they get ran down with the impact which shows they didn't clean out the holes where the head bolts go.

[@zomisland03]

It wasn’t a impact it was a regular drill.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

It was deff a type of impact. You can hear the weighted hammer inside impacting
