Cicio Performance, the wizards behind some of the most jaw-dropping high-performance vehicle builds out there, have truly outdone themselves with their latest creation: a twin turbo C8 kit that transforms the C8 into a fire-breathing, heart-stopping, pure adrenaline machine. Buckle up, because Nathan takes us on a deep dive into the technical side and painstaking attention to detail that’s gone into crafting this automotive masterpiece.

The Heart of the Beast: Forged Performance’s Turbo Kit

At the heart of this monster is a state-of-the-art turbo kit from Extreme Turbo Systems (ETS). This cutting-edge system, featuring an updated tank for the air-to-water intercooler, allows for compatibility with factory-style catalytic converters, a major cost savings for owners. The turbos themselves come from Xona, a brand renowned for their exceptional performance capabilities and extensive customization options.

A Neck-Breaking Cam

The upgrades don’t stop with the turbo kit. A carefully selected cam package adds a whole new dimension to the driving experience. As Nathan of Cicio Performance says, “Since we put a cam in it, I want to drive it because it’s really fun. It looks exotic in nature because it’s a mid-engine car and then you stop at a red light or at a gas station and pull in and everybody’s just like, why is that sound coming from that car? It’s fun; it’s a good time.”

Built for Power, Built to Last

To ensure the car can handle the increased power, a Dodson clutch upgrade gets installed. For those planning to take their twin turbo C8 to the drag strip, an axle upgrade is a must. These performance mods, along with the attention to detail in the build, like color-matched turbos, make for a wicked build that handles laying power at the track and on the street.
