CT5-V Blackwing Performance Mods and Numbers

The market for this intake will be the same people who upsize wheels on the car.

That sure is ugly! Crinkle black and no branding would be more fitting for this car.

Just saw on facebook JLT is working on developing an intake for both the CT4/5 BWs.

They will be black.

You think? I figured it would be for people trying to pick up more power in the upper rev range.

Figured this was the best thread .

Has anyone tried a Camaro short shifter in 6sp blackwings? Seems to me it would be close.

Wondering the same thing . . . got my new '24 5BW today and the shifter is good but not as great as I had hoped. My GT350R with a different Tremec was better when stock and now with MGW shifter it is the proverbial "rifle bolt" shifter.

 

[sleepys4]

Yes yes yes. I may pull the trigger and report back. Moreover please email MGW and ask about it. He swears the demand isn’t there, but let’s push him. I’ll drop my car off for r&d if needed.

 

[Champale]

That is awesome of you! I just emailed them. Other people who are interested please email support@mgwshifters.com.

Let's get this going!

Sooooo I sent an email to MGW and exchanged emails with them. George finally told me that he would have to have "several hundred" orders to justify his investment. Oh well.

I see that Hurst and maybe others make shift kits for the ZL1 Camaros. I wonder if they would work?

It’s probably the same trans that’s in the Camaro, try it, worst case return

They both use the Tremec TR6060 I believe. I just don't know how similar the cutout in the transmission tunnel and various other things are between the two cars.

Well when I got my headers from kooks the x-pipe was mark camaro. I know it’s not the same, but the undercarriage is very similar

at what HP range do you consider moving up to 30 over injectors?

Same time you do a CAM to allow more fuel in. Otherwise you are limited to 750ish hp.

Interesting! I’m at 759hp now, and next month I’m doing cam and ported heads. Maybe I should bite the bullet and get them to be on the safe side.

Is your low side holding ?

I was going to try to get away with a intank system. I have no plans to go past 800 whp or so.

Katech has a new intank system for the Camaro & CTS-V3 that may work:

Lmp they still may actually be on sale. Late model performance, so an expansion tank while you are in there.
