Default G8 GT(bolt ons) vs 300SRT8(Cammed) *vids*

We ran em at the track first, then took it to the streets.

Me and my buddy went to the track to run em and see what would happen. Weather wasn't all that great. Our heads up pass was made with the DA close to 2000ft. I ran 13.0 vs his 12.8. Both of us on street tires. I later ended up running 12.89 at 1200DA and he ran a 12.58. His car definitely pulls hard up top and sounds damn good

Mods I have intake, long tubes, high flow cats, catback exhaust and tune. He has a mild cam, intake, high flow cats, corsa exhaust and intake.
First the track...

Now the street 55 - 140ish

I'm in it until triple digits start approaching. My 2.92 rear end is killing me. I'm seriously thinking of swapping to a GXP auto 3.27 or a Camaro SS 3.45. Thant would help, but a cam swap to get me in the 11's would be really nice.

You did pretty good for your mods. I will say you need a stall bad. The G8 gain about .5 at the track with just a stall, that will let you beat him right there. . Then do a cam/fast 102/Nick Williams Tb/ported heads. You will be spanking him when you are running very deep in the 11s and he is still running mid 12's. That or just slap a small wet shot on it. I went from 12.6 to 12.1 with a 75 shot and no tuning for it.

Driveability is the most important factor for me, so it would have to be a small stall like 2600. Plus I don't run drag radials and with the stall I would probably have to. I cut mid 1.9 60fts pretty consistently on my everyday tires. I like the fact that the times I pull at the track are how I truly drive the car around at. I dunno, makes my time feel more impressive considering that I'm doing it with out the assistance of drag radials, even if that means I leave a little potential ET behind.

The wet shot is interesting, but i'm not sure how much the investment would cost to do it right.

Devilish is selling his nitrous kit on GRRRR8. He traded his G8 in on a vette. Cam he went 11.4, small shot he went 11.1.

Also driveability with a 3k stall will not be bad. YOu will really never notice it.

hes driven my truck with a 3600 and its prolly too much for him since he drives in sf for work and i could see that just being annoying. 2600 wouldnt be bad specially since hes thought about changing gears as well

The stall with be worth way more then the gears. Its been proven over and over with the G8's. As mentioned also you can get a kit used that people are going to blowers or trading in for CTS-V/Vettes/5,0's for 700ish. I lucked out and bought a brand new kit from a guy for the G8 for about 800.

You got a good launch so I'd imagine you go H/C and you'll have an easy time taking him down.
