hey guys, i just got my new 2009 g8 gt in black, with sunroof, sport and premium. i went from a 2007 dodge ram and o my god i cant seem to not go 130 on the way to work(35 miles all highway) haha

i already took off the engine cover and added a k&n airfilter, i was wondering how this is compared to a new cai?(pic below)

i also had a question about the different modes, is it ok to always leave it in sport mode or should i only put it there when i wanna go fast? and is it ok to switch from normal to sport at high speed? and also to manual? last thing since im not used to manual shifting i put it in first and took off and didnt shift, once i noticed the rpms were really high and i put it in normal, did i mess anything up?

Welcome! It is OK to switch modes on the fly. I would look into a CAI kit to help isolate the underhood temps from being drawn into the filter. You want to get a HSRK as well.

welcome, just be careful with the college crowd, bunch of lushes! Keep barf bags in the car when you bring chicks home from parties, when you're driving fast they won't be able to hold it in... :puke:
