Slight mods for now and will need a tune. CTS-V forum can be challenging at times...any local recommendations?
@LargeOrangeFont ?

I’ve had good luck at Superior Automotive in Placentia and Church’s Automotive Testing in Wilmington, I’d call a few places and gauge their interest and comfort level and see what they recommend.

I’m assuming the tune is bone stock now?

Yes, bone stock
I have upgraded the HX, reinforced the brick and installed Airaid CAI.
Ordered 2.5 upper, solid isolator and ID1050 injectors.

Post pics. I picked up a CTS a few months ago. It's not a V buy I really dig it.

Andy at A&A in Oxnard CA is a good choice, as is Addiction Motorsports in Simi Valley.

New Era in Agoura has the fastest stuff around these days, but Alex is absolutely slammed. He has built several 9 second full-weight CTSV and Chevy SS, some with a ported LSA and all the tricks, and the most recent with a Harrop 2750 and Frankenstien everything.

Addiction Motorsports in Simi Valley is the best around, period. If you live down south Powertrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach is really good as well.

I think @Cole Trickle had some tuning done on his boosted pontiac

I used brandon at ARS and he was great. Car has been nearly flawless. Problem is he moved to texas.

Have heard good things about new era.

I wouldn't let superior tune my lawn mower.

I would also check with Goshan at boost district. They just completed a package on my buddys V and it rips.

I used Tom Vanvugt, he works at Izzy Performance in Gardena and Balto's in Signal Hill. He knows his stuff, my V made over 730 at the wheels and was a real fun daily driver.
