Maybe consider a 5BW?

 

I've searched for "performance" upgrades for my '22 CT5-V and found nothing. 360hp is fun but it's not the 650hp of my former gen6 ZL1 or gen7 Z06, nor 668hp of the CT5-V Blackwing. Where can you even use that performance anyway except on the track.

Exhaust manufacturers apparently don't even offer cat back systems for the CT5-V and I've found no header systems available from the usual sources. Maybe the R&D just hasn't caught up to the platform? It could be that companies are afraid of the EPA. And you could void your factory warranty with some modifications, if that's a concern (ie, aftermarket tuners systems). I would think a cat back made for a gen6 Camaro might work since the chassis platforms are similar. Keep the converters in place. You might gain something, probably only sound though.

I'm not sure what GM did to increase the power of the CT4-V 3.0L motor from 360hp to 472hp (just tuning?), but that could be explored. Or buy a CT4-V Blackwing or CT5-V Blackwing while they're still available. That's my plan.

 

I appreciate the insight. I saw the Rocket Chip promotion and I did some research to find that it is a scam, so disappointing. 420 would be better than 360. I really bought it for a daily just wanted a little more. If you come across anything please let me know and I'll do the same. Have agreat one!

Maybe consider a 5BW?

Yea. I looked at the 5BW but I need more of a daily thats fun and efficient. I drive 70 miles a day for work. Thye are sweet but if I am going to spend a 120K, I'm buying an exotic. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers!

 

The 472 HP engine is a 3.6, not a 3.0. There WAS a 400 HP version of the 3.0 in the CT6. That would be nice to have.

 

OK, that makes sense. I didn't find in my initial research the increase to 3.6L for the 472hp CT4-V Blackwing. It's like GM wants to keep it a secret.

 

Not much available for these sweet rides. All locked down

 

Give it time.
In 1986 it was not too hard to get a certain GM V6 to 500 HP/600 ft lbs.

This is my first Cadillac, only Chevrolet and GMC previously, so I never paid any attention to the Cadillac platforms and never thought I'd own a Cadillac. The online material I received from GM prior to owning my CT5-V only referenced the CT5 horsepower engine options.

 

CT6 have LGW engine and another turbochargers!

We keep saying this but that car was only about 5% heavier than the CT5-V and that 10% increase in horsepower still translates into slower 0-60 times. Heck even the PL with the 335 hp 3.0TT is as quick to 60 as the CT6 was. Of course, the torque numbers are all around the same figure for the three engines. I do not know what the differences do to the acceleration curve beyond 60 mph - maybe the CT6's had more breath in the higher revs?

My best time on CT6 3.0TT Platinum (8at) 5.6 0-100 / 13.2 100-200. He is really quickly after 120km/h. CT5-V weight is lighter by 300kg (1797 vs 2089kg), but it has smaller turbochargers.

 

Take YOUR vehicle with you and your toys loaded in it like normal and hit the local sand & gravel outlet truck scales or maybe a grain or produce loading platform. You might be pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised at the true curb weight of your darling little rocket.

 

Next time i drop my used oil at the dump i need to remember to ask what it weighs (they make everyone go across the scales)

 

The Ct5 V black wing is 668hp That's a Z06 CT5

 

One that needs to go on a diet. lol

 

Here is what Ive had on my list for awhile now.... Still havent gotten around to it yet...

Green High Performance Air Filters - CT4-V Blackwing, CT5, CT5-V (Pair) (7490) - Tapout Tuning

We provided a CT4-V Blackwing airbox sample and worked in conjunction with Green Filter to design these air filters for maximum performance. Green filters are constructed with four layers of tightly woven cotton gauze, rather than open cell foam. This is thinner, stronger and easier to clean...

yes agree thats all i have found also bro ooo and i also found BOV . question wtf is those green filter whats the difference between those and stock ones. am looking for performance air filters so i can hear the turbos more and all i see is those green filters

 

So tapout tuning offers high flow cats. Corsa now offers a cat back exhaust. You can do green filters. And hptuners offers ecm unlocking so it can be tuned.

 

i talked to hptuner but they dont have no tune yet for them



seen the corsa full exhaust which look presssure i like them. not sure what the green filters do?

 

jb4 if you want to risk one, Trifecta performance says they are working on a tune but the CT4VBW is first but thats been years in the works...was the same status when i got my 2021 ct5v as my 2025 ct5v lol

 

the hP tuners cost could cover the upgrade from a ct5v to a ct4v BW by the time you buy modules and credits

 

No hptuners doesn’t offer a tune. But a local speed can do a tune. Tapout in Columbus tuned mine. And the transmission. And yes hptuners is not cheap. Like 1500 when all said and done. Then you have to pay for your tune. Green filters just flow better than stock. More volume. And the exhausts are nice but also pricey. The biggest problem I see with them is the turbos. The intake side of the turbo it like 1”5/8 It’s tiny. So even with intakes it’s all limited to the charge pipe being narrow. Once someone decides to make an upgrade. Then they will make good power.
