So, for all my work, I ended up with SSR Performance. If anyone is in the OC or LA area, they are a great shop and do excellent work. Ask for Josh or Nick. They do have experience with CT4 BW CT5 BW.

Did you go bigger with your Throttle Body? Have you done other modifications? I have a lot of customers asking about mods so I try to ask about everything.

 

[CT4-Venom]

Yeah, I got the ported throttle body, air box lid and JB4 with Boost Control Module. The first three items I got from TapOut Tuning. and the BCM was from Burger Motorsports.

 

[CT4-Venom]

I also forgot, I got the "V Blackwing" side mirror puddle lights from Savage Cadillac which easily adds 50 HP per light! LMAO

Did they dyno the car or give you an estimated power increase with those mods? Most people I talk to go straight to down pipes.

 

[CT4-Venom]

Nope. Just taking TapOut's estimates of power. I didn't do any downpipes as it would mean I would end up having to remove them when I was due for smog inspection. I thought about it pretty seriously though.

What power/power increase did they tell you?

 

[CT4-Venom]

Roughly 40-60 whp gain from everything.

Seems pretty solid to me. I would be happy with that.

@speedygonzalez , did you add that grasshopper to your picture?

@speedygonzalez , did you add that grasshopper to your picture?

Actually no, it was just perfect timing. I didn't realize until later that everything lined up perectly for the photo. I thought it was funny at the time that a grasshopper would choose to sit there and it was right after I had driven it too. I just saw it when I got out of the car. Now, I love the picture.
