This custom 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is powered by a 427/1,400hp
twin-turbo-equipped V8 engine backed by an 8-speed automatic
transmission with a transmission brake. The engine was built on a
foundation of a Modern Airflow Dynamics 427ci LT aluminum block
fitted with sleeves, steel rings, billet pistons, billet rods,
Magnum CCW crankshaft, Manton adjustable roller rockers and
turbo-spec cam (MAD specs). The induction includes a Crawford
Racing Holley Dominator kit with port fuel injection supported by
Fore Fuel System triple fuel pumps and 1700lpm injectors. The
intake is fed by a Performance Supercar twin-turbo kit that
includes Gen 2 Garrett ball-bearing turbos. The oiling system has
been redesigned from the original to avoid smoking issues. A
swirl-pot design was added to the coolant expansion side of the
system to prevent overflow during operation or while shutting down.
The engine compartment was also fitted with DEI Fire Wrap on all
lines near hotlines, custom air-conditioning lines not included in
the turbo kit to avoid manifold heat and dual breather cans in the
rear bumper for engine crankcase ventilation. The engine is backed
by a Century-built custom 8-speed 8L90E automatic transmission with
Circle D triple-disc billet torque converter. It rides on a Menscer
Motorsports rear custom coilover kit (front is stock), and has a
15-inch wheel conversion kit, custom modified BMR rear control
arms, tie rods and trailing arms, DSS axles, DSS aluminum
driveshaft, modified Stainless Works 3-inch cat-back to work with
twin-turbo kit, dual Setrab front oil coolers (one for engine oil
and one for transmission oil), and an LPE 2-step box connected to
the interior switch for two-step operation for launching. The
trans-brake box is located on the passenger side of the console,
for use for bump and trans-brake, which is handled by using the
buttons on the steering wheel (left is the trans-brake and right is
a bump). The dial in the middle center console will determine
boost. The first setting is a wastegate, the second is 22psi and
the third is 26psi. The car has made 1,425hp on 26psi on Q16. It is
recommended to go through the engine for desired horsepower. The
current tune-up runs 93-octane on setting 0 and Q16 on high
settings. **MAY NOT BE EMISSIONS COMPLIANT IN ALL 50 STATES** **
