no updates yet sorry. been very busy with other peoples cars lol.
got a set of headers to go on, but we are going to change to a more aggressive cam when we do the headers, along with a high volume oil pump and a nice double roller chain. should be late spring/early summer when we get this thing on the dyno....

going to be putting a ported ls2 intake with 90mm throttle body What I am going to try is putting these RHS spacers between the intake and heads to try to see if i can get the bottom of the ls2 intake to fit over the vlom cover after I modify the opsu I've talked with racing head service they said it could work cause I still want to keep the DoD active because its still my everyday driver for now. I will keep you posted on how this works out cause these spacers are about 250.00 for a pair of them they are custom built for race engines.

We need someone with a Chinese connection that can make these spacers for ~$40-$50 a pair. That way, hopefully, there would be no need to trim the DoD/AFM connector nor hesitate at the idea of removing the ribs from the bottom of the intake manifold.
And at what speed are you driving on I95 pray tell?

Those are indeed pricey for what we would actually need them for. In fact, that almost guarantees people would not have a problem modifying their replacement intake manifolds.

I drive down I95 weekly as well, albeit quite a distance away from you. DoD/AFM definitely does not engage.
There's a thread on one of those G8 forums where a guy tuned his GT to maximize the use of DoD/AFM: increasing the MPH limitation (85 MPH), RPMs, etc.
This is something I'd definitely like to investigate as I feel the stock tune is very restrictive with respect to DoD/AFM activation.

I'm not trying to undermine your reasoning but I had my dod tune opened up. It does engage at higher speeds. I ran it for 4 weeks with 4 weeks without. I got 19.6 without dod 19.8 with. And the tighter cruising converter and overall feel is worth it to me. I'm not trying to sell tuning out dod I dont work for shell....ok I do but that's besides the point. Just my opinion.

And that's exactly why I asked you about your speed. IIRC, DoD/AFM doesn't engage at those speeds/high RPM, etc. So it would make sense that you achieve similar fuel economy.
