Street testing

*What you will receive for testing*
Rental vehicle while testing
Free Superchips Cortex tuner for your application.

*Time of testing*

i was in orlando 2 weeks ago...

i hope some Orlando guys will do it

Spread the word if you know anyone in the Orlando area willing to beta test for us.

Nice color choice by the way!

Scott

I am picking up an 08 this Thurs/Friday. If y'all haven't found anyone by then, I might take the drive out from Tampa.

im down. im in tampa and can donate. i was actually going to call superchips tomorrow to ask about tuning on g8's lol

Let me know if you need a car still.

Let me get with my GM guy's to make sure and I will get back to you both.

Scott

Scott, you guys wouldn't be planning a road trip to Fort Worth, Texas, would ya? :wink2:

Just purchased my 09 and in Niceville/Destin area? Are you still interested?

Road trip could be fun is the rental a G8 Enterprise upgrade.

PM me your contact info and I will have our Vehicle Acquisition manager contact you about your 09.

LOL, I wish we were. That would be a nice trip.

No G8 V6?

At this time we are focusing on the V8 models only.

If the V6 becomes an option I will be happy to provide you with that info at that time.

Scott

i would be so happy to get a tune from superchips! awesome products!

ever get the tune done ?

Will this have tcm changes, or the ability to change tq management

please say yes i'm looking over all options for which route to tune....

We are weeks away from releasing the 08 tuning and yes we will have adjustments available for TQ management. Unfortunately I don't have any specifics right now but will be happy to forward what info I receive when I get it.

We still need some 09's in the Orlando area for final testing as well so spread the word if you know anyone interested.

ur guy never called me :(

Heard this threw the grapevine...

91 octane tune - gains of 15.1 RWHP and 15.4ft/lb torque at 5300RPM's on dyno
87 octane tune - gains of 12.0 RWHP and 11.3ft/lb torque at 5600RPM's on dyno

WOT shift points show adjustments available
Options to adjust Rev. and Speed limiters
Speedo corrections for rear gear swaps up to 4.10's

Torque Management will be off on Upshifts :)

Just a 3 HP gain over the 87 octane tune, Humm I am surprised thats all.

Do they have any idea when this will be coming out?

Soon!

Remember, that's pre-release info and is not the "Official" numbers :wink2:

Here is a link to show what they are getting on the GTO

man i wish this was out.....

We'll see, after their testing then some owner's dyno numbers. This engine does have a lot of potential and the torque management would be nice thing to control.

SRG963 is one of our beta testers and should be posting some raw data here shortly for you guy's.

I believe you will enjoy the product!

I just installed and tested a Cortex tuner on Mike Haddad's dyno. Haddad Motorsports is in downtown LA. Steve registered and downloaded the program for my 2009 GT on the Cortex Tuner, (Premium Sport Red) Mike ran two base line runs. The #'s were a constant 331.3 HP with 341.0 TQ in stock form. The tune was Cortex custom with changes to 91 octane, Shift pressure Superchips tune, Speed limiter Superchips tune. The first pull was 337.3 HP and 344.6 TQ. Well this is not jaw dropping and you might laugh or think this is a bad deal, but.......... DRIVING IS AMAZING. The package on the road makes this car feel and run fantastic. The 1-2 shift just about pitches the car sideways. I even got a sweet little chirp on the 2-3 shift. Downshifting in sport mode will spin the tires at 40 mph.

I spent a bit of cash for the tuner until I can take time to install a MagnaCharger and it was good money spent. If you want real big numbers and expect to rip it up on the track, you might need to look at some other source for horsepower. But if you just want to improve your driving experience, call Haddad and get your Cortex.

Congrats, 331.3 HP is by far the highest stock rwhp I've seen posted to date. Most GT's are under 320HP at the rear wheels stock...even on a Dyno jet.

Steve, from Haddad Motorsports, is planning to send me the dyno files so that you can see them. I am surprised that this is a high number for the car. Mike Haddad had just completed repairs and calibration to his dyno while I was waiting for my turn. I need to mention that I am using Royal Purple 100% synthetic oil. I also drained the new oil and put break in Royal Purple oil with 150 miles on the car.

Great post! Thanks for sharing your data.

Scott

Does the superchips tune adjust fuel trims?

The files in the Superchips programmer include air/fuel calibrations set by the engineer but we do not offer a user adjustable option if that is what you are asking.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Superchips Cortex and Flashpaq?

The cortex has an additional powertrain warranty attached to the product that covers your vehicles engine and trans if there is an issue related to the product.

The vehicle has to be under 100K to be applicable.

Scott

Just so I have this straight before I order. The Cortex 2950, and the Flashpaq 2865 will do the exact same thing for my '09 G8 GT, except the Flashpaq does not have the powertrain warranty?

ScottE

p.s. Anyone know of any good deals on the Flashpaq 2865?
