Can anyone recommend a Performance Tuner for 2022 CT4-V Blackwing? I want to squeeze another 28HP out of the engine so it is 500HP

Thanks in advance

In our opinion, there is no point in releasing any aftermarket products for these cars without access to aftermarket tuning. So that'll be the first thing we introduce.

None of the currently available piggyback tuners do much/anything on the new Blackwings, since the GM's new electronics are so much more sophisticated. For example, you can no longer just tap into the MAP and TMAP sensors and convince the ECM to turn up the boost.

Our 2022 CT4-V Blackwing has been on the dyno 15 or 16 times now, and it will be strapped down again tomorrow. This is no easy task, but I can tell you that we have finally begun to 'crack the code' in terms of turning up the boost, and increasing horsepower and torque.

Once we have the tuning figured out, the next challenge will be to figure out how to make it affordable for distribution to the masses. Then going forward we can start working to determine which mods make the most sense in terms of cost versus horsepower gain.

Please stay tuned...

Always require an aftermarket tuner/modifier to 100% warranty, in writing, any modification damage that may occur. GM/Cadillac/dealership will probably send you packing if the engine/powertrain even hiccups if "tuned" during the original BtoB warranty period.

Turns out the vanity plate is correct after all...

It still looks and sounds the same, but this is definitely not the same car it was before! Our entire team has been busting our butts for five months to make this happen. And now things are finally starting to get real. Details will be announced when we have everything finalized, but not before.

We use a DynoJet 224 xLC dynomometer, which is pretty much the industry standard.


We strap the car down to the dyno to keep it from moving.

Our most recent dyno chart shows a peak of 568 whp. Gains are 168 whp in the middle of the powerband at 6,000 rpm, so believe me when I tell you this doesn't even feel like the same car!

Current mods are somewhere between our soon to be released Blue and Purple Belt Performance Packages. All details will be released as soon as we finalize a couple more items.

Looks like Trifecta Tuning has cracked the new GM ECM or at least on the CT4-V Blackwing. Hopefully they can do it for other models too. I have used Trifecta on my 2016 Corvette and 2016 Impala and very happy with them, great customer service.
