Has anyone found ANY mods at all for the CT5-V 3.0TT? I've been searching the web everywhere with no luck at all other than the JB4 (which seems is still in Beta). Lowering springs, intake, exhaust... cant believe I cant find anything at all.

Any help is much appreciated!

I got some sweet Cadillac logo valve stem caps off amazon!

Edit: Now that i laughed, you have it covered. I think someone came out with springs recently. Other than that, there really isn't anything past the JB4. If i was sure it wouldn't give me problems i'd have one, but i don't need the power more than worrying about if it will start misfiring on me when i pull out to pass someone on a country road.

I saw that tapout was considering a version of their CF lid for the 3.0 but that was a while ago and nothing since. I looked at the PNs of the stock stuff and the CT4VBW intake box / outlets / MAF (IIRC) are different PNs, as well as the ducting to the turbos themselves. There's probably a way to make it work, but at what cost. A drop in lid with real gains would be nice, even at the CT4VBW price.

Remember JB4 is just a boost controller, not a real tune. 440+ safely....eh....idk about that. I'm gonna grab one for a little extra soonish. (My 'priority speed car' comes first.) That being said..no gueswork and forumn advice to get it right. Talked to my tuner and they (pros) are happy to dyno and make sure all is well/safe.

Tapout tuner now offers a (white belt kit) where you can opt for the ecu and tcu unlock and tuning. I was seriously considering this but first I gotta get the the father in laws gto done and out of the garage, then get my jag back together and drivable. Then the million dollar question do I tune the caddy or build an ls to swap into the jag?
