    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Car is FINALLY back after nearly 3 months with not only a new long block, but a new gas tank and much, much more. It sounds like what happened was the evap canister or something else with gas tank emissions filled up with fuel & that was causing the ecu to think everything was running rich &...

    CT5-V 2023 CT5V Blackwing - Green Filter Installed/Part #

    I’d never use an oiled cotton filter on a car like this. They may flow more but that’s bc they don’t do a good job of doing what an air filter is suppose to do which is filter air. You’re not gonna notice any power difference (assuming there is any) either on car that has such a high baseline if...

    Bronze Wheels with Bronze Calipers?

    at this point in time it looks like the pricing has swung the other way and now the bronze wheels are about $20 each more vs the graphite. i want a second set of OEM wheels that way i have an extra set of tires always available for track use, especially during multi day events. with the bronze...

    1500 miles for rear diff. Just don’t do hard launches or track use until then. You can hammer the engine after 500.

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    If I do that it could be well over a year if I got back in line now to get another. Plus msrp is way more for 23s vs 22s. I also spent a bunch having PPF put on the entire car

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    Dealer sent me a pic of my new long block November 4th & has communicated exactly zero since then. Closing in on the 2 month mark since I first brought it in…

    Girodisc Rotors - any takers?

    Bad idea. The magride is specifically tuned for the CCB. Changing the rotors to much heavier steel will throw that off

    CT5-V Blackwing Performance Mods and Numbers

    No one should ever use K&n on any motor they care about. They flow better bc they do a poor job of doing what an air filters main job is which is filtering air. On this engine you’d likely see little to zero difference in power and certainly not a noticeable one...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    First time they didn’t give me one. Second time a XT5. Third time they said they only had an Equinox but if I’d wait for them to wash their Escalade I could have that. Told them I’d wait. The Escalade battery then failed on me and wouldn’t start after sitting 1 day. They’re suppose to be sending...

    288 Miles and an engine failure

    I got black flagged at the track bc there was white smoke coming from the car due to oil hitting and burning on the exhaust. That’s how I first found out. I was like wtf this is a new car how can there be smoke coming from it?! The oil is EVERYWHERE. Entire underside of the car is covered...
