The tires are cracked, bald, and dry. That might have something to do with it. :lol: The car has been sitting for a while..

Also, you need to unplug the WSS to get it to burn out.

it has MORE torque than an SSEi of the same year and 5 less HP.

I HATE Cadillacs. I work on at least 2 a day. PINA !!! But, most of them I see have 200K+ on the odemeter. Those 4.9's sound pretty good with a turbo style muffler on them too. ;)

Ummmm....I've owned that same motor in a LIGHTER model. It's a joke. Highly overrated, and that over-rating was when it was NEW and didn't have compression problems or trans wear.

The 4.9 is more reliable and less troublesome than the Northstar, but it is not a powerhouse.

Peak torque comes at a higher rpm, and is not flat. Very peaky.

It was designed to deliver smooth power in a land yacht driven by old people.

Man, you go through a lot of cars! Are you trying to make a profit off them or do you just like a new car every few months? :)

Time to port the heads. :twisted:

Aren't these babies known for head gaskets?
