You may want to checkout this artical from hotrod about the Caddy Hot Rot Fabricator modifications - including turbo kits up to 2000HP
http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e...rth/index.html
They say the engine will turn a reliable 8500 RPM and with cam/head work can make 500HP+ at 7700RPM.

I am glad to have found your site, the first thing I installed was the K&N filter and a set of Flowmaster mufflers, what a great sound!! I have been corresponding with Domestic Performance to get a set of headers and a computer upgrade, both I was told are on the horizon. They also are looking into making me an air intake upgrade. I have searched CadillacForums for more advise with no luck. Any other idease would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Jim! I guess I just showed you all that I am the "NEW" guy to the club. Does Scott from Intense have performance parts for GXP'*? I would like to get another source for upgrades, the only one I have found so far is Domestic Performance. So far, I haven't had any luck getting much of anything because the car is so new. I want to put my car well into the 300 HP range, just need to know where to get the parts?

Horsepower upgrades for GXP'*
Anyone have any luck finding more ways to upgrade the horsepower on the GXP' yet? Haven't heard back from anyone lately.

How to add Horsepower to GXP
BADSSEI writes: I'd like to suggest that we use this thread as a blackboard for some of our ideas, and I'll keep updating this first post periodically.
1) K & N Air Filter - part number 33-2063-1. The folks over at Edmunds.com say this is an exact match and will fit our cars. I haven't confirmed this yet, but plan to order one soon.
2) PCM - I don't know how much opportunity there is here, but we'll start working on this one next week, and we should have PCM'* available by the end of June.
Today I added 33-2063-1 K&N filter: BadSSEI, I too noticed that when I first compared my 03 SSEI to 04 GXP on take off there was no comparison, SSEI hands down. Then I realized that you couldn't just stomp on the peddle, you had to ease on it. Today, with more air added and turned off traction control it'* real close but a different take off. GXP
glides 0-60 whereas SSEI jets 0-60. I don't want to mess with the computer just yet. Let the newness wear off some.
Thanks
