Today’s Dyno Blast video features a first gen Cadillac CTS-V fitted with an STS twin turbo setup. The 2005 CTS-V was powered by a 5.7L LS6 V8 offering 400 horsepower and 395lb-ft of torque. Figuring an 18% drivetrain loss, we can expect a Caddy like this to lay down roughly 320-330 rear wheel horsepower.However, this Cadillac CTS-V has been equipped with a Squire Turbo Systems twin turbo setup and on this run, the boost pressure has been set to a modest 5psi. Even with that light boost level, this Cadillac sends 479 horsepower to the rear wheels and with an assumed drivetrain loss ratio of 18%, that luxury sedan is making around 585 horsepower at the transmission.Best of all, the STS turbo system combined with the GM LS6 V8 has a great sound under load, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: Cadillac, CTS-V, Dyno Blast, Dyno wednesday, LS6, twin turbo
