: Twin Turbo G8 to Come Soon!
Flash99 04-06-2008, 03:53 PM I'm amazed at this car, I've had a ton of other cars, and I didnt expect much from this car, but was amazed at the build quality, and the way it drives. Hopefully the car will be done by LA Invasion, but Sema for sure. Haddad Motorsports will have both a supercharged and TT G8, Look for us out on the streets!
veritasatis 04-07-2008, 04:07 AM How many engines do you have lined up for the G8? ;)
peter@aps 04-07-2008, 11:45 PM Twin turbo G8's will be roaming the streets of the US very soon. :yumyum:

ILMODC 04-10-2008, 12:49 AM Right on Flash. Haddad holding it down for you? Very nice. Hope to see you out some time man.
Lates...
LS2GTO 04-12-2008, 12:00 PM Welcome Flash and congrats to you on getting a G8.
Flash is one of my performance 'mod-king' heros when it comes to modding LSX cars! I'll be looking forward to seeing just how sick that G8 will turn out.
1SIK LT1 04-12-2008, 01:57 PM I wonder what kinda times that thing will be able to put down. From what I saw Haddad's G8 stock was handling pretty freakin nice and put down some good times at the track. Keep us posted.
Gpdan 04-13-2008, 03:09 AM It was great seeing you out tonight in Fullerton. Hope you can come out to the valley sometime and hang out with us.

Thanks, just over looking some things and the DOD on the G8s require a different cam, and different lifters, which basically the word states they are not "High Revving" and the problem is turbos dont make power till typically above 3200RPM, with the LS3 GXP model there wont be any concern, but for now, I'm still doing my homework, hoping to find some ways around this.
SOcaliG8 04-13-2008, 12:41 PM flash99 what city do you live in?
1SIK LT1 04-13-2008, 02:35 PM Damn flash, you've gone through more cars that I have. When did you get rid of the GTO???

Flash99 04-13-2008, 10:22 PM flash99 what city do you live in?

Yeah its posted on all the other boards, just not here, not too popular yet.
1SIK LT1 04-14-2008, 01:59 PM Nice. Last time I saw you was when you first bought the Vette. What have you done to it since then?
93612 GT 04-14-2008, 02:54 PM so whats the word on the tt i am out of fresno were is evrione from?
Flash99 04-14-2008, 10:30 PM Nice. Last time I saw you was when you first bought the Vette. What have you done to it since then?
Alot, LOL. Its a whole new car. But the girlfriend drives it, so yeah.
so whats the word on the tt i am out of fresno were is evrione from? Still working on a setup, APS wont be available till end of April, and STS will have to custom make a system, but will prefer a single turbo, as the cost ratio wont be there for the price point.
1SIK LT1 04-15-2008, 03:28 AM lol. thats one bad ass g/f if she enjoys driving a modified flash edition vette.
Flash99 04-17-2008, 07:20 AM lol. thats one bad ass g/f if she enjoys driving a modified flash edition vette.
Well I had to teach her the whole "Wave" thing that Vette owners do, and yeah she gets alot of attention in it, and enjoys that I guess. I get the Vette back this weekend so I'm looking forward to driving that for awhile.

I cant wait to see a "flashed" G8, if it was anything like your GTO its going to be sick!

Hey Flash, in one of my GM high tech perf mags they did a write up on hayes manuals. The car they were tearing apart was a 5.3L impala and they had the lifter valley cover off and it displayed the DOD setup. If the L76 is the same deal, it looks like the DOD solenoids, special lifters and lousy cam could be pulled and replaced with "better" non- DOD equipment. Axe the DOD active protocol through HP Tuners so you dont see any codes. Might just have to plug the oil feed ports in the block that fed the solenoids........
Your thoughts?

My one of the Vette guys in my club was just talking about how a lot of vette guys wave to other owners on the road.

Been doing research, but your absolutely right, the cam sucks, the lifters suck, and I would love to change the whole setup. The DOD can be taken out via HP tuners, and thats my plan for the weekend. An LS7 cam swap and 928 springs are where I'm heading for it. I would love to do a write up on the complete break down of the motor. but that wont be for a few weeks. :) As much as you appreciate my modding, I appreciate your work more. Big thumbs up on the quality, and fit/finish of your products!

Thanks Flash, thats very kind of you to say!
Be sure to post some pics when you get the lifter valley cover pulled. I'm sure everyone wants to see the DOD solenoid assembly for themselves.

With th twin turbo from mike, you will have quite a ride. Make sure you chat with Mike about your suspension. It currently is not set up for that kind of hp. Ask him about our chrome plated adjustable Pedders coil overs that I have.
you will need them if you anything else besides going straight!!
