    Default Parts on my G8? Noob question.

    So I've got a G8 GT for about a week now, and it came with all kinds of fun goodies. Headers, Exhaust, Intake, Rotors.... and the mod bug has me eaten alive since forever, my question, as a new G8 owner is how can I tell what else has been changed out? I know alot of things (underdrive pulley for instance) would look pretty stock. Or even having a tune. I wouldn't know what was stock or not just by looking to begin with without having seen it. Is there any key ways to tell/places to look for/at? Sorry I know this is kind of a "need to look at it" kind of question, but any help or advice before I blow money on a part I may already have would be appreciated. I got the car from a dealer, and they are clueless as to what was installed on it. They only knew about the catback and nothing else. Thanks!

    You should get a Rick Crawford ported intake and throttle body, LS3/7 MAF, Camaro 327 geared rear end, and then a new tune.

    Then you're ready for a cam, heads, and stall.
