It took you 12 seconds to go from 20 mph to 110 mph in the speedo vid which leads me to believe your car runs a low 13 or high 12 if your lucky. Not something I would say would beat a 500 rwhp car, or even my brothers intake/header GTO.

not to try and defend this guy, but i pulled that exact 60' with the bone stock l99 to run 12.90 @ 108. Granted it was a -600DA night here in NJ.

the first picture is as stock as the showroom floor (even the air in the tires)

the second picture is tunes (motor and trans) and borla s-type axle back

I've heard of a tune settling in, but as far as I know that should only effect the driveability of the car. IE; coasting fuel shutoff, adaptive learning fueltables. When I tuned mine, I only used the WOT fuel tables and various spark tables. When you tune for WOT you should be telling the computer what amount of fuel to inject. Bottem line, I don't see how a tune would settle in and increase hp, make it easier to drive yes, produce 50 more hp NO. Also nitrous tunes shouldn't make use loose 20 or 30 whp unless your running a monster shot. If its a street car running a 100 shot you should only be pulling 2 to 4 degrees of timing which will not be significant.

if this G8 picked up 12mph on a 150 shot than he should be trapping 110mph which would put you two door to door or "locked out" I think in the video you pulled him up top but couldnt do so in the low range?

What I meant was that I know a 150 shot will gain more than 12mph correct?? Ok so that it self will put him under the 110 mark, and I trap 110 sothat puts me up front, and he hit it before me do to me not hearing the honks then I was realign him in but we didn't get passed 100mph

G8 trapped 116 on motor, trapped 122 on nitrous transmission not shifting 3-4. I literally finished the 1/4 banging the rev limiter, once I hit 120+ it falls on its face cause 3rd gear is maxed out.

didnt they say that car was a heads/cam G8? I highly doubt it would trap less than 110mph on motor even on the nitrous tune.
