    I’m about to pull the trigger on the DOD delete kit with a BTR stage 2 NA LS3 cam, BTR .660 springs, GM LS7 lifters, and BTR pushrods. I don’t know what length pushrod to go with though. 7.400 or 7.325?

I got my G8 earlier this year and right away started building the car with plans to put a LSA supercharger on it this winter. Major mods so far is: BTR stg 3 PDS camshaft kit, pushrods and springs DOD delete kit Ls7...

    I've narrowed down my cam options from recommendations from what I (and most of you) consider reputable sources. My options are: BTR stage 2 LS3 cam 225/238 .620"/.605" 113+3 p/n 32538133R1 Or PatG spec'd 225/232 .629"/.615" 112+3 The cams are clearly different but my question is what does...

  6. Exhaust Tech
    So it seems like most are in agreement that a cat back on an otherwise stock G8 should add approximately 10 hp give or take. I want to know how much hp gains can be had from any full cat back on my engine over the stock exhaust system. I’m doing a dod delete on my 09 g8 gt. Cam specs are...

  8. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    So first off, my car: 2009 G8 GT, 35,000 miles, and daily driven 70 miles a day round trip to work, 90% freeway. Full OBX exhaust from 1 7/8 long tube headers, to the factory GT mufflers, no cats. Used stock GTO intake tube for free flow, factory air box, K&N filter. Wideband O2 to tune with HP...

    Just finished up installing the dod delete package and here's a short idle video. That was the first start without a new tune so it is running a little rough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZbyD-kfqEM

    Found this gem at a local dealership, one of the best kept GTO's I've ever seen. They have it listed for 17,000 with 55,xxx miles. Really good deal. Hopefully someone from here or the GTO forum can find someone who wants one. Would hate to see it go to someone who doesn't know much about them...
  11. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    This is a Patrick G spec'd cam: 218/226 .595”/.605” 115 LSA +4 Dual springs and hardened rods otherwise stock internals. Remainder of mods in sig. Exhaust is all stock but the ARH 1 7/8 LT's from Nick are in the box and going on "soon". One thing at a time. Learned that the very hard way with...
  12. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    So on the route to purchasing a cam and have narrowed it down to two. My goal is like most, preparing for blower while keeping her DD AND adding as much hp as possible. I've been considering the Livernois Stage 1 (224/230 .581/.590" 114 LSA) and a custom Pat G cam (218/230 .595/.609" 115 LSA +2)...
  13. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    Hey guys im wanitng to get some input on who I should order from. I originally was going to go with Vector Motorsports and that was based on everything I read on Knoxvilles thread. I have decided not to go with them based on no communication from them. I have emailed them numerous times even...
  14. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    So I decided to do it, I purchased the VMS Stage 2.5 cam package with ported CNC Heads along with a 3200 Yank Stall Torque Converter along with some other goodies like a Tranny cooler, and Oil Catch can. I felt like a fat kid in a candy store after I saw these boxes waiting for me when I got...
  15. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    I am looking for a "mild-ish" cam for my car. I am getting rid of the DOD as well. I have a custom tune, underdrive pulley, vararam, catless LT headers, 3" Magnaflow with X-pipe, and a 402 forged stroker kit from Probe. Also, I will be keeping the stock stall for the time being.

    I ordered the Livernois 2C cam and DOD delete, everything should be here tomorrow and I will hopefully dive into it on Wednesday!!!!!!! Pics to come!
  17. V8 Engine Tech (L76/LS3)
    Ok, I was going to buy the 404 ci stroker kit from Livernois but decided to put it off for bigger better things down the road....... For the meantime I want to at least get a cam and dod delete kit. I just can't figure out which package to go for or if I should just get a custom grind and cam...
  18. G8 GT Talk (V8)
    I am torn between the 1 and 1c cam, can someone with experience tell me about how they feel about their selection. Any regrets one way or the other? Need help deciding which to get for my DD. Thanks for your input.
