My father just bought one, and to encourage him to buy it I promised to pay for a tune for him.

Is anyone local dyno tuning these? If so what is a completely stock GT A6 picking up for gains? What are they typically putting to the wheels?

There isnt much info about local new england G8 stuff in the G8 forum or the G8 section of LS1tech.

Thanks!

Slowhawk did my G8GT at 4k miles and it was the best money I ever spent

A stock G8 GT will dyno around 280rwhp on Slowhawks dyno, and i dont know how much of a gain you will see, 20 or 30HP? give Don a call

I know most people here dont worry about voiding the warranty, but this car is probably not going to see mods other than a tune. Anyone know if the dealership would notice changes to the fuel tables and shift points and what not?

I work at a GM dealer. I really don't think that they will notice the PCM tuning since there will be no other mods. most people in my shop would never notice.

I had mine tuned, and then it went back for warr work, they never noticed.
it went from 270 to 300 HP with a tune running 87 oct gas

Slowhawk,

You have any experience doing speed density tunes?

Looks like I'm moving to your neck of the woods by fall and my car is on a speed density tune right now. I probably should get my own program and learn to tune but I'm gonna be pretty busy with school and 2 jobs out there so I'd rather just drop it off for you to tweak when I need it.

Plenty.

Good to know. Thanks.

Should be going to school at Bridgewater State for aviation so I'll be down in that area a couple times a week.
