DTM Brian Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 As some of you know, I had mentioned that I would be getting my hands on a G8 for some extensive testing and tuning along with a couple performance enhancements. So here is the plan. 1. Car will be going on the dyno on the three times next week. 2. Trip one will be to baseline a 500 mile G8 and then tune with the 87 Octane that was designed to run on. 3. Trip two will be bring the car back with 94 octane and retune for more timing an a slightly leaner A/F 4. Trip three will be with the installation of 1.8 Roller Rockers from Yella Terra and a Cold Air Intake. 5. A deposit has been made for an APS Twin Turbo kit which is due to ship from Australia by the end of the month. Install turbo kit and bring back to the dyno for tuning. I have been spending my free time burried in HP Tuners and I am becoming quite familar with GM's lastest ecms. I gotta admit I am excited!! Stay Tuned for Dyno Results as the project goes.

Buck531 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sounds bad ass. Not that it matters, but who owns the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 That sounds like a sweet project. I always love seeing what hp gains can be made from different mods on stock cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 That sounds like a sweet project. I always love seeing what hp gains can be made from different mods on stock cars. Sounds like we need to have 4door vs 4door competition. . Did you all hear? Two Door Sports Cars are out. 4 Doors with seating for 4 adults and more is in. Looks like I am a little late with the purchase of a C5 Z06. Nah. I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Damn, I've only seen 1 of these things and it's still in the showroom and people are already ordering TT kits for them!! Should be a fun project. I like the idea of having a car with 600+ hp(random #) that can haul all your firends!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sounds like it's going to yield some interesting results, good luck Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'd venture to say that there will be some good gains for tuning it on 93- 94 octane alone. They must be running really rich on that 87 tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Saw one driving around just the other day. One of the few cars that i would like to drive/possibly own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Went for a short test drive in one of the V6 ones today...It ain't an eight, but it does have decent pick-up, and the car itself is ROCK-solid... I'm gonna try to get a GT test drive tomorrow while the PA is in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
