Kong Ported Blower Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing – Before and After

November 14th, 2023

This video takes us on a journey (of sorts) as the Late Model Performance (LMP) crew perform a minor modification on a 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing sedan. Specialists from LMP will put the Cadillac on the dyno to get a baseline performance reading before installing a Kong ported supercharger. Afterwards, they will do a second dyno pass and measure the gains. It’s gonna be educational. The rear-wheel drive 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 668hp and 679 lb.-ft. of torque. In stock condition, the Blackwing can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph Read More

2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing – Factory Supercharged Four-Door Monster

August 3rd, 2022

Believe it or not, the Cadillac sport sedan line just got an upgrade. Even more powerful than the Cadillac CT5-V luxury sport sedan is the Blackwing version. The Blackwing takes away the cumbersome all-wheel drive platform and replaces it with a fun and nimble rear-wheel drive variant. This bad girl will get sideways at the drop of a hat. The dry-sump motor and supercharger are also improved, but we’ll open that can of worms a little later. The exterior is basically the same with a few subtle differences in the front air dam and rear splitter. The factory paint is Read More

Street Hits – Cadillac CTS-V Sedan vs Ford Mustang GT

March 24th, 2022

This video documents a street (roll) race between an iconic muscle car (the Mustang) and a luxury performance sedan (Caddy). Both these cars are manufactured towards performance, and both have been modified with aftermarket performance components. These two competitors have been waiting a long time – and talking loads of trash – so, let’s see what happens when the rubber meets the road. The Cadillac CTS-V is a beast with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and manual transmission. From the factory, it can make 640hp and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph on 3.6-seconds.

200 MPH Grocery Getter – Cadillac CTS V Wagon

September 11th, 2020

The venue is the Kansas Airstrip Attack, a half-mile closed course airstrip designed to measure top speed in performance vehicles. Having that said, what is this station wagon doing on the course? Well, it’s not your granny’s station wagon. This bad Caddy is loaded with a big V8 engine and – get this – a manual 6-speed transmission. It also posts a (personal best) top speed of 200.26 MPH! Have a look. Under the hood is the factory 6.2-liter engine built by Horsepower Solutions of Newport News, Virginia, who also did all the turbo work. The engine bay is sans Read More

Taking it to the streets! These guys are south of the border and letting it all hang out.

First up is a Corvette with a built engine and a YSi supercharger. There’s a 5.0-liter Mustang with a Vortech supercharger and a manual transmission.

Cadillac CTS-V vs Paxton Mustang vs Corvette Z06 – Street Hits

December 14th, 2019

This is how we do it on the streets! Of Mexico no doubt. This clip brings us a look inside the world of top-shelf roll racing. It features some of the baddest machines and hungriest competitors as they roll out onto a (nearly) deserted strip of interstate to see who wants it more.

Next, there’s a twin turbocharged Camaro running 20-pounds of boost. Then there’s a Read More

9-Second Cadillac – Best Engine

June 14th, 2019

Like a hood-less horseman, this Caddy is as likely seen “galloping” across the countryside as sprinting through 1320-feet of blacktop. Despite the full roll cage and shiny pair of CO2 tanks; plush, leather seating, air conditioning, premium audio, and power steering are among the amenities with which this street beast is equipped. Nevertheless, it can dash through the quarter-mile in nine-seconds at around 152 mph – consistently. Under the hood of this (Black Market Racing built) 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan is an LME custom 7.0-liter V8 with a dry sump lubrication system. It has Mast cylinder heads and twin Precision Read More
