I'm trying to research what packages are available (and what is invloved with their installation), along with average pricing, to make the engine into a 700+ horsepower monster. Hopefully this can be a discussion about the various packages available, and their associated benefits/drawbacks. Also, what kind of real world performance increases will they yield.
You will find everything you need to build a reliable CTS-V monster with the quality you would expect from a Cadillac.
We can give you a tire shredding 600+WHP CTS-V with some of our bolt on products. We can go over all the pros & cons and make sure you are pointed in the right direction based on what you are looking for out of the car in the safest manner possible.
This is the Hennessey package. W4ME and D3 have been doing this as well easily. Pretty basic stuff. The technology is there. It is just a matter of which shop you want to choose.
I'd wait for others who have already done this to chime in on specifics.!
Not on the stock bottom end. We wouldn't recommend having that much power without addressing the internals. Not to say it couldn't be done, it just wouldn't be the safest thing to do.
Our stage 3 upgrades can go into that territory.... But that starts with addressing the short block and working your way up from there.
It seems that manual trans cars often put down higher rwhp numbers than the auto trans car (owners of manual trans Vs have posted dyno runs on this forum from 460-470rwhp, with a few even posting over 500rwhp in stock form...yikes. Autos seem to be in the 440rwhp range).
It appears, however, that this does NOT necessarily translate into a faster car, but if the number is all you are interested in, it's something to consider.
Why on earth GM decided to "slow-down" the manual and attempt to make the 2 cars accelerate about the same is very strange, if not downright stupid. Build each of them to accelerate as fast as they can and go from there. :banghead:

Not exactly sure what is meant here, but the difference is the gearing in the trans and rearend. Also, on upshifts, the auto shifts faster. That's why stock for stock the auto might be a click quicker. With a competent driver, it's a drivers race.
I will say I'm kicking myself now for not getting a manual. Was tired of shifting my Z06, but man I miss having the control.
Is anyone aware of a vendor who makes aftermarket rims for the CTS-V. I am looking for a deep dish look/something with a lip or is this impossible due to the monster Brembo braking system?
I am certain we can. What are we talking about beating? Blower pulley package, Kooks, Intakes, ect?
Price is not always everything as well.
