Howdy! My name is Ben and I own
WEAPON-X Motorsports in Cincinnati, OH
- follow us on facebook here for great builds, swag give away, sales etc 
. As a former engineer for GM and GE Aircraft, I'm always dabbling and designing things in my spare time from carbon aero kits, to various engine stuff, even to having our own forged wheel line. A little back story and shameless plug LOL, we have a new 10,000 SF facility in Cincinnati, OH and tackle all of your typical as well as your atypical builds. Our layout and capabilities are pretty impressive as most shops go including two in-house engineers, an AWD Mustang dyno with the max channels they offer tied to 20' wall projector for dyno runs
, a Haas VF6 4 axis CNC mill, 36" x 36" 3D printer, full fabrication area, 6 lifts, and large warehouse. We're less than 2 years into this and already planning the next expansion with more CNC machines, an engine dyno, a larger fab/production shop, and four more lifts.
We have been very fortunate as a leader in the Cadillac performance world as I started with the LSA CTS V years ago and developed a lot of parts for that and created the world's only F1X Procharged CTS V laying down as much as 1,400whp at 7000rpm on high boost with ProEFI.

After that, I picked up a C7 Corvette and did the first LT 427 engine that made over 600whp on motor plus a 300 shot of nitrous, and added a very custom colored widebody making the 1,000HP C7, which is a wild ride. It's currently, undergoing a motor refresh, dropping the compression and also getting an F1X.

From there, I picked up a Cadillac ATS V and was first to run a 10 second pass with very minimal mods/tuning/exhaust. We have had a lot of success on that platform, even having the million dollar Ring Brothers built Rydell 48 Cadillac on the ATS V frames down here for our heads/cam/tuning/exhaust.

Here was a red, white, and blue video we did for Labor Day that still makes me smile

I had a CTS V gen 3 on order, but decided to hold off on it with the Camaro ZL1 around the corner since I was after new and something different, especially with the 10 speed. We had a lot of V3 customers lined up based on our V2 rapport and we laid out our staged packages and got Whipple's attention and ended up working closely with them on their LT4 Whipple testing. We started out with just a bolt on kit and ran it up from there. Our extensive experience with the DI systems from the C7 LT1 and LT4 world gave us a great start with what it takes to make the right combo, and to this day, we still have the highest HP Whipple charged LT4 at 920whp on a Mustang Dyno! That car is presently back in for some tweaks and will be making it's way south in February for the Cadillac Attack event in early February with an anticipated 1,000+whp boost only with our new port injection kit and rotor modification.
Like my ATS V oddly, I found what I was after back in TX. So, I flew out to pick up what would be dubbed the Demon Slayer and had it nearly fully optioned with the A10 trans. Out of the gate, I did a set of Forgestar CF10 wheels and had them black chromed. I lowered it using
*BMR performance lowering springs*. I was pretty happy with the outcome thus far.
