That's a very clean car. All the small things came together in a big way.

Some of these cars had issues with them going out; mine did at around 34K luckily it was under factory warranty still

I'm thinking...

- 2800 stall
- 3.27 rear
- 90mm internal diameter MAF housing w/ LS3/LS7 card MAF and an IAT relocation kit
- VMax Motorsports spiral ported throttle body
- I missed what you did on the intake valves... the GM hollow stems for the LS3 help at high rpm

This is a beautiful car, excellent work!

You see any problems with running the factory firebird wheels on the back with the slightly different bolt pattern?

lol I think it's like a .7mm difference. I have a set of drag radials on stock 16" camaro rims and when I saw those on your G8 it made me think about putting them on my G8.

*edit .027" difference. Maybe a little more than a fingernail thickness. I don't see how it could cause much of a problem.
