new to forum
Hey guys i have 2009 G8 GT im new to the forum, i also have a 3.27 camaro rear and i love it. ALOT faster off the line and gained alot of midrange power which is exactly what i was shooting for since i only use it for street use.

OP HERE,
I've seen a lot of comments, on several forums that tuning new gears is difficult.
I mentioned that to my tuner and he looked at me like I had three heads!!!!
Using HPTuner, he completed the tune is less than 5 minutes and it was spot on.
I checked miles per hour with my GPS and it was perfect.
He had to enter the tire size, and new gear numbers. Computer automatically made 103 changes to my setup.
As usual it comes down to the knowledge of the tuner.
Good Luck!!!

Sometimes you see them on Flea Bay.....LOL
I missed the opportunity to 2 or 3 times in the last couple of months.
Seems like there have been more 3:91 gears and for me with an auto that maybe too much gear....
I still like my 3:27's but hoping for better ET's in the 1/4 mile.

I have experience with both the GXP and the g5/ z/28 diff, yes they use the same axles, also confirmed by DSS.
And yes same with the G8/Holdens, V6s have same diffs as V8s, only difference is the V8 HSVs are shot peened and a little stronger.
The Camaro diff is a beefier unit for sure, much more webbing on the pumpkin.
