The G8 you guys did that made 441 to the wheels I was wondering what it made stock. Most of them are barely breaking 300RWHP and I know that Michigan's cold weather and lower altitude can help make for good stock numbers. A 140RWHP gain from a cam, headers, cat back, CAI, and valve job is super impressive.
The car is back a livernois for ported intake/tb and under drive pully.

With this setup could a bigger cam be ran? I don't know a lot about the L76 yet but I have done about 5 cam swaps on my old LS1 before it went bye bye. How hard is it to do a cam swap on this motor as well? Sorry for the questions but we just bought this g8 for the Misses I have had my performance car in the past and talked her into this badboy she wanted a new poopclipse. Now she is learning how great domestic cars are!

Awesome I already have her convinced to go for it LOL. She wants to help with the cam swap so I told her I would pay for half if she bought the rest. I think I found a keeper

The gain in power isn't because of the D.O.D. delete. The gain in power is from the cam and surrounding parts. The D.O.D. lifters are very heavy and shouldn't be used in higher rpm setups. They will cause valvetrain problems. Getting rid of them and going to standard lifters allows for the higher rpm again and therefore more power. The swap in the G8 is one of the easiest I've done. Time consuming because it's a brand new car and you want to be very carefull with it, but not a difficult job by any means compared to like an F-body.

Just curious how many of these packages are out there? We have finished the tuning on the G8 we did at work and we sure didn't make the 441RWHP which is an outstanding number for those mods. Any other dyno numbers out there for this setup?
