I have a 2005 cadillac CTS 3.6L and want more power with the stock engine.?

I know some things I could get like a new camshaft, rollers, exhaust, cold air.... But where can I find these? And also, where can I get a supercharger for it? A good one that isn't 5,000$..

    Dude, its a 3.6L engine. Your lucky if you can keep oil in that thing. Hard enough with the timing chains stretching also. Not sure that engine was designed to handle a charger on top, may destroy the engine real quickly. Save your money & trade that thing in on a V-Series!!!!! They come stock at 565HP & it has a warranty if you get one new enough that covers all that good stuff under the hood!!!!!!

    We got one around town that added a few mods to it & word on the street is it is pushing 720HP at the wheels which is wickedly scary!!! But I would advise not adding that since these engines are that reliable & the extra force exerted on the pistons & rings will surely doom them very quickly

    Cadillac Cts 3.6 Performance Parts

  • 5 years ago

    Not everyone is rich enough to buy a V. However you can rip the 3.6 out and install an ls engine, like me and a buddy did and you have a V minus suspension and wheels. .I just bought a 06 cts with the 3.6. I'm gonna be doing it again shortly, ls engine, t56 tranny, also installing new diff, not sure which gears I'm going with. But I agree, if there was more aftermarket parts for the 3.6..turbo, ecu program, etc. I would've probably just beefed up the 3.6..

    Do a web search for cadillac racing parts. There are several companies that specialize in Cadillac high performance. I would say sell it and buy a V8 model as the little V6 is already stressed enough in stock configuration. Otherwise, maybe $5000 will get you into some sort of blower or turbo.

    A good one that isnt $5000? maybe in dreams only as a nice SC kit requires much more money, than that, the $5k figure is for parts only + labor + dyno runs + Ecu tune and so on..... You need to custom your parts as you have a car with very low aftermarket support, you can contact Crower

    With a car performance simulator[1] you can virtually do any mod on your car and see how it would improve to help you decide what mods to do
