No real special launch technique. I stalled it to about 1700 and nailed it on green. Car did the rest and I was proud of it.

2009 Pontiac G8 Tuning I was just curious where you got your G8 tuned OR if you tuned the car yourself and with what programmer? I'm wanting to do this as well. p.s. what kind of mileage are you getting with that 93 tune?

What did it make for power before and after the LT's? The CAI and tune is the setup I'd like to run for a while. Probably toss on some axlebacks or a catback as well to make it sound nice. I know what you're saying about trying to decide where to put the money

^Great improvement with the new intake. I was really set on the Rotofab just because it looks so good, but it's hard to argue with power numbers like that! You said you have headers on it now? Any numbers with the headers?

Those are some rediculous gains! Do you still run the stock exhaust? How does it sound? I was noticing that my stock G8 sounds like a 6 cylinder, but my father's stock 2004 GTO sounds pretty damn good in comparison.

It would probably sound great but this is a DD and I have the other car to make a lot of noise. Plus some may figure I'm stock and be a bit surprised.

I am currently running the American Racing Header catted LT system all the way back to the stock mufflers. I think this sounds just about perfect as its still really quiet when you are cruising and when you nail it, plenty of V8 roar. The aftermarket axle-backs for these cars typically produce a lot of drone and it was something I would not tolerate. I originally had a Pypes axle-back on the car which sounded really good IMO and had minimal drone at highway speed. When I switched the rest of exhaust, I knew it would be too loud so I went back to the stockers.
