I posted a thread about a month ago asking where to take my 2014 GTS for twin turbos. I was directed to Calvo Motorsports. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the work they did. The car produced over 1330 rwhp (and it was hot)on a stock engine. Amazing! Not to mention they beat our contract deadline date by over a week. Antonio would send me about 10 texts a day with pics and progress updates. Sometimes he would send texts around 10 pm because he was still working on the vehicle! He became a friend of mine. And needless to say they blew away my expectations! I would recommend Calvo to anyone!
That being said, the car.... Well lets just say when Antonio took me on the test run I was still pinned to my seat as he blew past 180! I also own a 850 hp Lingenfelter CTS-V which I used to think was fast lol! The Motec and PPG sequential shifter are amazing. The car hooks like crazy even with all the power. I turned the boost down to 3 while I learn to drive it (It goes to level 7). And it's still over 1100 rwhp at the 3 setting! Thanks to Calvo Motorsports and thank you to the members who pointed me in their direction! Fastest F#%*ing thing I've ever been in.

1330 on a stock motor? That's so impressive that I honestly don't believe it. Congrats on the build! What tires can hold that power? 19" R888 or 18" MT's?

Be better if the boost went to 11.

Update your avatar, or do you just miss the sound of your Gen 3 that much, haha!

Toyo R888. I have them on my CTS-V also and they still spin. But they hold with the Viper? That Motec traction control is out of this world!! I wouldn't have believed it either. It's black with silver stripes. Calvo even powder coated all of the parts to match the car! I will post some pics and videos soon.

Calvo has tried to blow up a stock gen 5 motor that was getting a rebuild to see where the limits were; they made it to 1450whp+. These motors, if sound from the factory, are strong as an ox.
