Tainted,

It's own my list of next things to do for sure.
I have to settle down for awhile spending money on this car.
The little woman has lost her sense of humor.
Sleeping on the couch isn't like camping, no matter what your friends tell you!!!! LMAO

Thanks for all the positive comments guys......

The idle is set at 50 rpm over stock.
It's either 550 or 600 rpm
Even the gas mileage is tolerable @ 16/23 MPG.
I have no issues at all with street manners.

Suspension mods to make it hook up better and durability, torque converter & supercharger are my next things to do.
The cam selection was also planned around a supercharger down the road.

That's the same mileage as my stock G8 GXP. Very nice improvement and F cylinder deactivation.

You remove the lifters, trays, cam, timing gears with non AFM parts, and tuning.

May be a stupid question and I'm not asking to start anything....

Seems like the G8 with similar mods to a 4th gen shows lower dyno numbers. Is it the drive train eating up hp? Maybe I'm just mistaken but seems like usually a heads/cam/intake full bolt-ons deal on a 4th gen is in the 440-450 rwhp range??
