Just a day later: And: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41519597/2022-cadillac-ct4-v-blackwing-reliability-maintenance/

@Tall Steve The factory tune is a compromise of reliability, economy, drivability etc. GM does all kinds of validation testing in all kinds of weather, walks the tune up to a certain point and then turns it wayyyyy down to keep all sorts of things in line…even marketing and crowding other cars...

If I understand correctly - these cars don’t have quite the challenges the ATS-V has because the charge air cooling circuit is different…

I reached out to them and asked them this. They’d mentioned they couldn’t get a press car where they were and now the cars are not really part of the new car news cycle so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to review them now…

I just did this install on my CT4. Make sure you have a couple of torx or star sockets and take your time. Also - get some plastic trim tools Amazon or Harbor Freight. Get the 3 day subscription for the manual from the GM manual site -I disconnected my battery to avoid fault codes. 200 miles...

It’s 30 seconds approximately.

I think with a proper tune it negates the effect of the intake so it essentially becomes a cosmetic piece. But man…what a great looking piece it is…

He doesn’t like turbos. All of them. Which is why I wonder how an F or G80 M3 could solve that…?

I like either the idea of the this but even more how about an Aero pack spoiler made of plastic….? Kind of afraid to commit to carbon fiber because of the bad roads around here.

Does the driveshaft change that much?

Finally - I love these guys reviews on other cars. I didn't think they'd like it but they did and they finally gave the car some credit! I think it's good they lost the original footage and had some time with similar cars to compare it to.

@WONT TAP what about a tune that walks us right to the edge…I’d sacrifice ultimate performance for a tune that allows us to keep the stock spark plugs…? It’s one of the main reasons your intake is so appealing 👌

In for CT4 manual…

What was the trickiest part? Gonna' make a tutorial?

This looks great! It also looks hard to do… Don’t the front ones have pretensioners?

Gearing sure helps BMW a lot. If you’ve ever driven a G80, note that they turn pretty good revs (over 3k) at highway speeds…

THE BMW SCREEEEENS 😭

If it’s just about speed…probably the BMW. I wanted a manual so there really was no choice

The comp xdrive is just so much more expensive than a CT4…
