Tune only g8gt vs new 5.0 with exhaust! Youll b supprised! Ok Ive got a couple videos for proof that GM/pontiac produced a badd azz family ride!!! That new 5.0 thats supp to be so badddd wasnt so baddd! I expected him to just walk away and put a half mile on me but we ran to bout 125 and he may have 4 or 5 lengths on me. Now keep in mind he has 4.10 gears and a man tranny! A simple gear change in the G8 and it would be alot diff!!! Im wrkn on vidds!

That guy just can't drive.........and you can't base a comparison off
one experience.
Look at George's sig.....He had the fastest bolton G8. Now look at his sig
again his Stanger time is faster with a tune only.
The cars aren't even close. I can admit that and
I own a 478rwhp G8.

With longtubes, high flow cats, Xpipe, stall converter, CAI, Tune, front runners, and ET Streets. I also had an underdrive pulley.
Which was kinda my point, because to get my 5.0 auto to run the same times I needed: a tune.
That's it. I could, and did, run 12.teens with OEM tires. With drag radials, I easily beat those times. In worse air.

G8's are heavy, Mustangs are lighter... not rocket science. Takes more power in a G8 to run with the same power Mustang. Especially with the Mustangs better gear ratios and higher revving engine. Personally I haven't had any problem beating them in my family car.
Its not hard to beat a G8... there are tons of cars that can beat them. Hell my Subaru beats 99% of G8's and its not awe inspiring, beats most Mustangs too and its my wife's daily. Its always funny to see people get beat by a chic in a ricer!
For the OP - for sure get headers and gears along with a retune and you'll be happy with it for a little while longer!

Personally I think the Camaro rear is the better option unless your gonna jump straight to a 9"! The driveshaft and axles will still be looming worries with the Camaro rear if your going to race the car a bit.
Lots of slightly used rears starting to popup on eBay now for much less, couple guys in our group have got them well under $1,000, some for half that.

11.88 to a 12.16 ohhh yeah thats really a diff leauge! The guy can drive also! Make all the excuses you want. Im not interested in modding the family/wifes/kids/grociery car! Georges 11.88 isnt tune only BTW is it? After street racing a 600rwhp ss m6 for the past 7yrs ,I think I know a badd driver when I see one! Good luck with your 5.0s.

Depends on which way he wants to go... to swap to a Camaro rear then sure it will cost about $1000-1100. Gears alone are available now for under $500, if he knows how or knows someone who can install them then it'll be a bit cheaper. But works out about the same if he pays a shop to do it.

DA -1500'
Or do you prefer the 12.19 to 12.09s that I ran with the OEM tires and tune only in air from -600' to +600'?
So yea, 11.88 tune and drag radials only vs. 12.16 and every bolt on there is for the G8.
Different league.
