I was going through my performance ideas for the G8 GT and what I wanted to obtain in the end.

Handling Upgrade
Power Upgrade
Keep AFM

With that I have decided that yes I would like to go boost, but I have my GTP for that, so I will be keeping my G8 NA. Also I have a fascination for N20 (I have used it on many cars on the many years) so if anything I will run at the most 100HP Wet shot of N20.

Stage one: (Completed FALL 2010)
BMR Front STB
BMR Trailing arms
BMR Drive shaft tunnel brace
BMR Sub Frame connectors
BMR Front and Rear Sway Bars
BMR Lowering Springs
BMR Poly Bushing Kit

Stage Two (Completed FALL 2011)
SLP 1 3/4 Headers
Corsa Exhaust
SLP Intake

Stage Three: (Completed FALL 2012)
FAST LSX-R 102mm Intake
LG MotorSports 102mm Electronic TB
1.85 Roller Rockers
Comp Behive Valve Springs

I'm younger and more vigorous!

Just purchased the last GT with sunroof (sport+premium too) in northeast USA. Considering mods after I recover from the $1600 kick in the rear end for a blizzak tire/wheel pkg from tire rack but its necessary I suppose. John, your Roto+Corsa+Livernois tune is exactly what I'm looking for as a start toward the nice round number of 400 SAE rated hp (and will probably stop there to be honest just to say the car has 400 horses if it dynos as such!) Any thoughts on what youve installed? Dyno gains? Trans changes? Exhaust note? Things you like or don't? etc.. thanks in advance!

Glad my reply helped you out! You'll really love it when you get the work done!

O.K. I think that I have finally narrowed it down to what I want to do to the GXP. Want to increase the H.P. while keeping the engine compartment looking like factory. There will only be one piece that can be seen with the hood open.


Spring 2010
- 20% tint all around
- 91 octane tune
- Roto Fab CAI

Fall 2010
Turn the Fiance into my Wife.:wiggle:

Spring 2011
- 1 7/8 American Racing, Ceramic Coated long tube headers.
- Corsa Exhaust

Spring 2012
- Stage 1C stealth Cam
- Heads modified by Hennesey Racing.

Mine will get a Maggie, LT, Corsa, Tune, CAI, Cam, Head, new wheels.

All of which I will do when the warranty is up. I still have the TA to wrench on if I feel like it. Which right now it has seen more lift time than road time...LOL
