    CT4 Blackwing at Sonoma

    PTM is only avail in Track Mode. If you are using the rocker switch on the steering wheel to adjust PTM modes, you are automatically switching the drive mode to Track.

    CT4V-BW Transmission Fluid Level Change For Track Events

    I would guess you have the A10 transmission? It's pretty bullet proof. AFAIK, there is nothing specific that needs to be done for A10 Track Prep. I think the manual is being extra careful with regards to tracks like Daytona that can generate high sideloads.

    Whipple charger install

    Sometimes the answer is so clear, it's invisible. :D

    Rear Diff Fluid

    Anyone know what the 'new' fluid is? The original 19418501 part has been discontinued and I can't find the new part # online. EDIT: Looks like the new part number is :ACDELCO 10-4131 TASCA and Rock Auto show it as replacing the x8501 part.

    CT5-V CT5 BW Ported 2650 - 1010WHP

    LT4 has forged internals from GM. Lots of 1,000+ HP builds on OEM rotating assembly.

    PDR Add-On

    That's the Gen1 PDR. Blackwing uses the Gen2 PDR. None of those components will work with Global B.

    Patch this tire or replace?

    I would repair. Keep in mind a repaired tire loses it's speed rating. So if you are planning on tracking, replace the tire.

    New Lyriq-V review

    Not a review. Just a rehash of the press release Caddy dropped today announcing production. Already on the list for one with Dustin. Gonna be the wife's daily and our first EV.

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    https://apexwheels.com/accessories/wheel-hardware/arp-press-in-wheel-studs-set-of-5#thread-pitch=m14x15mm Studs are the same as 6th Gen Camaro. Can't get better than ARP.

    PDR Add-On

    You would need an ECU Bridge and a external GPS (if you want track/lap timing).

    20” wheel/tire specs for 5BW?

    Apex makes (and has verified) fitment of 20" wheels. Their specs are: 20x10.5" ET15 F 20x11.5" ET42 R Those are direct fit. No spacers or rings required. They mount 285/30-20 and 305/30-20 tires (same as 6th Gen Camaro SS 1LE and ZL1).

    CT5-V Max tire size (diameter, width) you can put on stock 5BW suspension w/no rubbing?

    For the Precision Package, GM has been able to fit a 285/35-19 in the front. That's 100% due to a revised front knuckle that allows greater negative camber. (-2.8) They stayed at 305 in the rear. Anything above 315 and I would start looking at the tire width specs. Some 315's are narrow and...

    Track rats rejoice!

    While I am sure the Cup2R is a decent tire, it's hardly the key ingredient. There are a LOT of better track tires out there that would work as well or better: Supercar 3R, Sport Maxx Race, P Zero Corsa or Trofeo, Hoosier A7/R7...etc. The point is the suspension and calibration are now up to the...

    Track rats rejoice!

    Dustin told me when he swaps the tires to get the order accepted, a credit is issued for the Cup2R. Not sure the exact amount. While the correct size for the Cup2R is listed on Michelin's website, it's the Porsche spec. I would assume the next manufacturing run would have the TPC version.
