2009 Pontiac G8 GT build-up with Custom Airbrushing Thought I'd post a little video of the recent build on my wife's 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. The airbrushing under the hood turned out amazing IMO, so figured I'd let you guys see what ya think

Are those dyno #'s after, without a tune?? or was a tune included? Very impressive, great looking car and amazing airbrushing. I was already considering getting a G8, this helps make me want 1 a bit more lol

That's a sweet G8! Those were definitely some nice gains from just bolt-ons, congrats. And the video work/camera angles were just awesome. So much better than just a regula vid. Great work, and beautiful G8.

So you gained 69hp and ??tq at the wheels with a full exhaust, ported tb, intake, underdrive pulley, and a tune? Thats nice to know. I just bought a Stryker Blue 09 a little over a week ago and can't make up my mind on the exhaust. To many damn options to be honest. I just can't figure out why all the exhaust are 3" at the collectors all the way back to the rear then a 2.5" axle back.

For what it's worth, I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the exhaust combo, so maybe you should consider that route??

Yeah, you are correct bro. Sorry for no stock TQ numbers. The beeping you hear in the "before" pull is the dyno sensor malfunctioning, so no accurate TQ reading was made. Sensor was replaced during the period the G8 build was completed, so we did get accurate TQ numbers afterward....
