As 2023 rolls around we just finished a big Forum Build Thread update<\/a><\/strong> on a popular customer car build – this 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, which left the shop some months back. We are trying to keep up with all of our forum build updates and this one was the next in line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This massive 3-part Forum Thread Update<\/a><\/strong> covers work we completed on this CTS-V from May through December of 2021. This included finishing up wiring, plumbing and a digital dash (or two!) install to allow the HPR 383″ LS6 to be able to fire up with the Holley Terminator X EFI system. Read about all of the “fun” we had with Holley EFI in this post. We fought a long battle but fired up the engine successfully in August of ’21<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting past that milestone allowed us to focus the next phase of work – including a rebuild of the Ohlins coilovers + reservoir mounts, a new 1-piece driveshaft, then some front aero work. The aero bits needed included on front flares (to clear 18×11″ wheels and 315mm front tires) and a custom front splitter. We attached the splitter using rear quick release latches and front splitter struts from Professional Awesome. We go into major detail on this forum update<\/a><\/strong> showing the steps needed to mount the splitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you enjoy reading the forum thread – the latest entry is linked here<\/a><\/strong> – and we will have another one to read on this build shortly. So many builds, just never enough time to share content. Have a great 2023 and we hope our documented builds inspire you to build your own race car!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
