Truth ^ but the HP increase was so small it was irrelvant to performance and it didnt improve quarter mile times - 6 HP wont improve much. You could probably dyno a stock coupe vs a Z51 and that 6 HP deviation would not even show up to the wheels...LOL.. ...your right however it did have more than a normal stock coupe 6 hp more. I understand you point...
Why are you even bothering with this guy? We all understand, and agree, to your points.

Here is some information for everyone concerned about MPG? My Car for sale has a centrifugal supercharger....so..
"Although roots superchargers have significant parasitic load and do dramatically decrease fuel economy, centrifugal superchargers will yield approximately the same fuel economy as normally aspirated engines under normal throttle conditions. This means that after the installation of a ProCharger intercooled supercharger system, if you drive your vehicle in the same manner as you did before the installation, you should see no drop in fuel economy and in some cases customers with heavier vehicles have actually increased their fuel economy because of less frequent downshifts! However, the purpose of the supercharger is to get more air into the engine…and when you add air you must add fuel. So when you stand on the throttle and that impeller starts force-feeding your motor the air it deserves, your fuel system will allow more fuel in to create gobs of Grandma scaring horsepower. It is during those moments when supercharged vehicles see a drop in fuel economy.
To explain further, a supercharged engine operates at a much higher power and efficiency level than a naturally aspirated engine. So why, under normal operating conditions, would making an engine more efficient decrease fuel economy? "

TTT for a sweet looking car.
Is the boost adjustable and under what conditions is the methanol injection required? (can it be run w/o meth under lower boost)
Does the procharger requir mts, ie oil changes etc..?
I read your detailed listing, but wanted to clairify if it has HUD.
Do you have title in hand for cash buyers?
I am in south texas, not to far from H-town
posting an idle clip of the exhaust seems to do the trick in moving a car.

Good luck on the sale and sorry to see your baby go, Ed. Remember, we work on CTS-Vs too 
To all - this car came to us bone stock except for a CAI. We installed the blower, meth and headers and tuned it with a very conservative 15 degrees of boost timing at 11.8:1 AFR.
There is more power on the table if anyone wants to tune further into the meth and raise the timing.
This car sounds and drives 100% like stock until you drop the hammer, then all hell breaks loose.
Before and after pics.

Boost levels tuned in...revisit England Green to adjust the boost levels....see their post above.
Alky control Methanol injection system: Meth starts at 3 pounds of boost and is progressive from there up until approximately 10 pounds...(see dyno) Gain **** set at 6. Meth is not needed only until under boost. Keep it below boost levels doesnt need it...boost gauge in car for easy monitoring. Special indicator light turns red when meth is spraying. I havent added meth for 7 months now...just picked up 2 gallons worth to add when I need it.
Supercharger is not linked to the cars oil pan. Its stand alone and oil needs to be changed based on bottle every 7500 miles. Not on a monthly schedule so I have yet to change it...I was going to change every 3000 miles. Takes its own small 4oz bottle.Simple to do...it has it own line, remove, drain, add. done...easy.
No HUD
Title in hand...completely paid off.

Note: Please read the post.....at the very beginning it states the following...
Why are you selling the car?
My job description may be changing and they have told us that we will need to start meeting and entertaining our clients. I am a financial consultant. This means I will need to have a 4 seater. So I am looking at a CTSV, C63 or perhaps M3 as an option. However, this is not confirmed at the moment and I will get confirmation within the next week or two.
Please note:
If this change takes place I will sell the car, if it does not I will retract this sale as I honestly thought I would never sell this car!
Highest bidder gets it between now and when I know for sure...already getting offers so dont be shy!

I have requested that my company give me a decision by Wednesday. They agreed. so I will know at that time if I will need to sell the car or not. I have some good offers already so it is essentially already sold if no one comes in with a higher bid.
The highest bidder will get it ( business is business) so ...again dont be shy. Still accepting offers. If you are not the highest bidder I will let you know.
Note: This car is not being sold on autotrader or cars...only on this forum.
