LFX Manifold on LLT

[sycraft]

heres his post...

Tires used on the pass: BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2's (245 f / 275 r)
Performance Mods: IPF Supercharger, LFX Intake Manifold (self-ported), VMAX Ported TB, Methanol Injection, ARH Headers, ARK DT-S Exhaust, BMR Trailing Arms, Toe Rods, Subframe Inserts, B&M Trans Cooler
Transmission: Auto
Category submitted for: Forced Induction
R/T.......... 0.092
60'............. 1.918
330'........... 5.334
660'........... 8.142
660’ mph... 88.96
1000'.......... 10.535
1320'.......... 12.532
1320’ mph… 111.73
Name of the track: Thunder Valley Raceway Park
Date of pass: 8 Nov 2014
Weather conditions: 1187 DA

I gained 0.5 seconds from the Trans cooler, previous temps were 250 degrees, today they were 180 degrees.

What Sycraft posted, I ran that and constantly ran good times. I was constantly over 110 mph, think the porting gave me 10 or 15 HP based off the trap times. Big torque gain was from the trans cooler, allowed the transmission to transfer the power better.

Car is transforming into a beast that people don't want to race against.

I wonder if a proper set of drag radials with skinny fronts would net an eleven second run?
If you do manage to hit 11's with a V6 my wife is gonna kill me, because I'll copy your setup.

I can probably do drag radials but I have Brembo's, so no skinnies. I am about to install 3.91 gears in a few days to replace the 3.27 open diff I have, see how it goes.

The ported intake worked well though, gave me my highest trap speeds and resists heat soak. Too bad my transmission wasn't getting cooled or I would have hit 12's a long time ago. But we figured out that part, so now we know that a trans cooler is required on IPF setups at the drag strip.

Is your V6 a LS or LT? I thought I read that there was a difference in the transmission between them.

1LT, only model the 2010 Synergy Green Edition came in. The 2LS came with 2.92 gears, all others 3.27.

The Auto transmissions are the same in all V6 models, the 6L50.

I dont want to thread jack, but can you make a diy on the transcooler for us. I plan on doing it right after the supercharger goes on

Thanks for all the testing you have done!

This is the guide I used:

If you have an IPF supercharger and use this manifold, do NOT run the V60C1D tune, that tune will run very very lean at startup and will try to stall out the car. I was fine with it on my LLT Ported IM, but not with the LFX. I am stuck running that tune since it his the only one for 3.91 gears even though I requested over a week ago a 3.91 gear tune based off the V60C1C10 tune.

Funny cause V60C1D was lean at startup even without the LFX intake. Went through a couple versions with Arno before we got it right. Misfires were pretty bad.

This time it was bad, idle dropping to 200, car sounding like it had a cam. I had to turn the car off and restart it to get it to add 10% to the LTFT's to keep the idle from destroying the car. My AFR was reading 1.17 lambda.

I don't know who's car they used to get the V60C1D tune for longtubes, but they had the worse flowing headers in the world.

Going to call Andy on Monday to see if they can get me a new tune fast. Car ran fine but rich after the car learned how much more air flows.

Ok it's official after reading I want the LFX intake for my 08 CTS.

Have fun!

Since this thread was bumped, definitely do this upgrade. Yesterday after very hard runs the intake manifold was cool to the touch and all my runs were consistent for MPH.
