Big takeaway here is it’s awesome that you can do some pretty serious bolt ons to a global b car without tuning and it’ll keep itself straight. That’s a big deal for GM late model stuff.
Andy, I truly enjoyed watching the progressive build up. I never even knew this particular model car existed let alone the massive power it generates. It will be somewhat of a sleeper for people like me who think of Cadillac's as the old man's cruising luxury vehicle. MM
I have a 24 ct5 blackwing , I’m keeping her stock for now , this car is bananas without mods.. It’s very nice to see all that can be done with the blackwing .. Haven’t got this excited about a vehicle since the Buick Grand National.. Love the content ..
Hard to make a blower cover like the factory one just cause of the size of it. Don’t quote me if im wrong but i believe the stock blower is a 2.3 and the maggy is a 3.0 blower in size. Definitely some fab work but 3D scanner could possibly do the trick
@@LIMuscleBlackdevil you definitely have to redesign it though. If anything raise it a good 1 1/4 inch or bigger so the flow of the blower wont be too thrown off
Love the blackwing content! My build is coming in this month cant wait! You guys should do a test video of what there is to be gained if much at all with larger DI injectors. I know you know the answer but it would be a killer video I would be willing to buy the injectors!
@@keithjones7304just went back and watched the 5 CT5V BW videos they got up and the most they made was 689 with a ported blower and headers which is less than the 730 this car made. But again it doesn’t matter
I got a 23 with an auto and I'm about 90 minutes from you. It's not stock and the ecm is unlocked. Let me know and I'll make a road trip up if you want to put it on the dyno.
I put on at least 50 miles without a tune revision or clearing codes. And it has no check engine light. I have been talking with Mike and haven't had one reported yet
What the smart ass haters who probably drive Prius don't get is, it's a 50+ hp gain but also extra performance from not heat soaking near as bad so could become a 100hp gain after 5or more pulls etc
Love the channel Adam. The powerband of this motor with the 2650 and headers is sublime. The flat TQ curve is beautiful. It's NOT a light car, though. My C6 Z06 stock (at its rated 505 HP) has a better power to weight ratio (including a 200 lb. driver) than a 707 HP Hellcat. Now, with a TVS2300 and headers, my C6 Z06 has a better power to weight ratio than this tuned 2650 CT5. Weight is the enemy. I suspect making the CT5-V lighter would require a bunch of exotic materials and drive the price up substantially. Certainly Dodge doesn't care at all about the weight of their musclecars. Just an observation. Lowering the weight pays dividends in braking and cornering as well, though.
It's a different dynamic. The CT5-V is a capable family sedan. Giving it the ability to take it into almost any situation. Now, I've personally taken my C6's back in the day on trips, even to Canada, but I can't do that now with kids. For those who want Z06 performance, comfort, and space, the CT5-V is the clear winner in the GM World.
That's more so a function of the tune. What happens is that tuners don't pay attention to final timing with iat reduction and end up running it too low. This releases a lot of heat into the exhaust and kills them. When you can run a bit, you won't kill them.
That's why for videos like these I like to show hot and cold numbers. Sometimes I use it to compare that way I take heat soak out of the equation to accurately determine gains.
Maybe, but on a supercharger like this is very minimal. If you were thinking about the fuel issue, the cam is the right idea as you can upgrade the fuel lobe and then push quite a bit further.

The kooks you put on my truck 5 years ago still look great.
It would be so cool to win this car
Wow stainless steel doesnt stain.

Love this car. I'd be happy with the blower swap in the previous video. Maybe make a lid that looks like the stock one to really be incognito.
Why do people like being dishonest about their builds? I don't get it.

@@Dexterboy24 The stock is a super tiny 1.7 and I believe the Maggie is a 2.6 or so. Either way, the design/look would be similar, not the size.
There is a company that makes a 2650 Lid that looks similar to stock.

Love the progression. Seeing the stock tune learn is pretty neat. Grabbed some entries!!!
Hey Andrew absolutely love the video so glad no cats were killed in this video

Which green cats are on this car? I see a couple different green cat options on looks website.
Nice car but LMP done one on stock blower that made more!!! WOW
Who cares. Different mods make different power levels.
@@LsXUndergroundother car was on ported blower. With bolt ons. So yeah the other had less mods

Eat crayons got me rolling. 🤣
Guess you didn’t want to answer my comment from last week about price and being cost effective.
I guess u didnt listen to the last video because it was between 12 to 15k 🤷🏾♂️ paying attention is beneficial
This guy a mega nerd
is it me or does the cts v2 sedan look the best

When y’all working on the OG ct6VBlackwing?
There is no tuning support for them, and as far as we know there is nothing in the works for there to be.
Great Video!🏁🏁
What a sick build!
Love it when you colab with the Eray hater. Andrew, I think you should have a shop in Florida.
So confirmed no cel with catted headers?
I put on at least 50 miles without a tune revision or clearing codes. And it has no check engine light. I have been talking with Mike and haven't had one reported yet
Andrew! A LOT IS 2 WORDS fix your board😂 car is beautiful

Hahahaha “streetspeed he’s a cat guy and we will add two more cats to his collection” that was epic
Great video, perfect blend of car learning data along with just the right amount of humour. ❤❤
Wonder how many Jarheads got offended or hungry in the first minute of this video 😅
Love that you don’t blur out the speedometer like other wussies
Music is like Mario met dubstep lol horrible but I’m here for the power baby
Giggity

CSP,y'all rock! 😂Peace
the blue crayons taste like blue
Of all the performance shops, you guys have the best content. Always funny.
Do you think all that heat will melt those green cats like it often does on the Camaros?
That's more so a function of the tune. What happens is that tuners don't pay attention to final timing with iat reduction and end up running it too low. This releases a lot of heat into the exhaust and kills them. When you can run a bit, you won't kill them.
Not sure why people give a fuck about a “hero” pull you’ll never get those numbers in a street race
That's why for videos like these I like to show hot and cold numbers. Sometimes I use it to compare that way I take heat soak out of the equation to accurately determine gains.
cool stuff
With a cam it would lose some low end toque correct ?
Maybe, but on a supercharger like this is very minimal. If you were thinking about the fuel issue, the cam is the right idea as you can upgrade the fuel lobe and then push quite a bit further.
