Bruce Nunnally Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 http://popularhotrodding.com/features/0411phr_katech/ For about $35K to $40K over the price of a new CTS-V (exact pricing hasn’t been set), Katech will do one of its K-Series conversion on your CTS-V at its Clinton Township, Michigan engineering facility, or for $85K to $90K they can buy the car for you and do the complete turnkey deal. At the heart of the K-Series is a 6.5-liter (396 cubic inches for us knuckle draggers) LS6 making 525 flywheel horsepower at 6,200 rpm and an extra-fat 510 ft.-lbs. of torque at 4,800 rpm.

bigfoo Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Wait until my northstar has 450+HP with lots of goodies.. Doing that to a LS6 isn't very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoo Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Well I guess I should have said, ithe HP IS impressive, but doing it for $30k isn't appealing considering you can buy a 600+HP engine for less than half that and drop it in any car you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
