I just finished up installing my long tubes the other day so tonight i figured i would go meet one of my buddies to see how i faired. My friend as a 08 G8 with a roto fab intake and a catback/x pipe. My mods are in my sig.

We raced twice from a dig. We both spun quite a bit, but i pulled out almost a half a car length by the time we hit 50. We both shut down at 90 with me being ahead by about 3 feet but was losing ground.

2nd Race. Again from a dig. This time we shut down at 105. I had near a half a car length til 85, then he started reeling me in. At 105 we were dead even.

I was pretty happy with the runs. Anybody else with similar cars run the g8s?

Good races! How's it feel with the new mods?

I use to own a 1994 Z28 A4 that my brother now owns. It has a CAI, magnaflow catback, 1LE elbow, airfoil, LS1 driveshaft, 3.42 gears, and Nittos. It went 14.3 @ 98 mph stock on a cool night (with 2.73 gears) and has run 13.98 @ 99 mph with the current mods on an 85 degree day. I think it's got a 13.7 at 101 in it on a good night.

From a dig the car pulls out on my G8 with the G8 slowly pulling back. From a roll it's close down low, but the G8 runs away pretty good at highway speeds.

Nice runs. I don't see how anybody drives their G8 without a full tune (ecm/tcm/dod delete). There's seriously half a car hiding in the computers.

Yeah, I can't wait to get mine tuned, I just need to find a shop. I usually go to East Side, but last time I asked they weren't doing them and I don't want to be the first one they tune, so I'll wait or see if there's another shop around. Also, I want to get a CAI first. Still debating on the Rotofab or the Vararam. I love the looks of the Rotofab, but the Vararam seems to have amazing results.

The headers really woke my car up, i can't imagine driving without them now. Yeah i was really impressed with the way the G8 pulled up top being pretty close to stock.

Me and my friend are both getting a dyno tune very soon.

If he is presumably running mid 13s then I am really happy with my car so far.

Sounds good! What gears are in your car? If they are 3.23's then I definitely see mid 13's at least on a decent day. I know my brother's car pulls hard out of the hole when we race.

I only have 2.73s in right now, but i have some 3.73s in the garage waiting to be put in.

Those will wake the car up BIG time. Just going from 2.73's to 3.42's was a huge improvement, so with your 3.73's the car is going to feel like it gained 50 hp. Tires will be your next mod

Sweet that makes me even more excited to have them in. Yes tires are definately next, i spin hard out of the hole as it is.
