Just something basic

[GWNG8]

So my GT is pretty much stock except for a CAI. I may go with an exhaust at some point (cats back, but no headers).

Is there any point doing any sort of tuning?

Can I get something (like superchips) that is just plug and play (I know nothing about this stuff), that I don't need to make any of the adjustments myself.

I've tried contacting patg but have never received a response.

Get a tune. You’ll like what it does to the trans

It helps to know what goals you have. If all you want to do is play around with the tune, then get a Superchips tuner. If you want a little more performance, then get a street or dyno tune. Where are you located?

^I don't want to play around. I want something to plug in and forget it. I have no idea what a tune can do. No experience whatsoever....

Ok, I see you are in Canada. Don't know any tuners East, West or Alberta.

I suggest you search for Superchips on Google. Try G8Nation: Superchips in Google.

This will give you an idea of what the tuner can do for you. Like a higher octane tune, firm up the transmission shifting, etc.

The change a tune makes on the G8 is pretty dramatic when it comes to the transmission, and it'll add some power too of course.

Best thing to do for a car you don't want to have to worry about (daily driver) is to get a decent exhaust like Corsa or Borla, a CAI like Rotofab, and a tuner like SuperChips and play with it.

I drove my GT daily like this for 54,000 miles and it never let me down.

I would NEVER want to drive my GXP the way it is daily.

Thanks Gents. That sounds kinda like what I'm looking for. Nothing extreme just adding a little spice to the daily (summer) driver. I have looked at exhaust upgrades (solo), but I'm not a real big sound guy anymore, and the dollar up here is a killer.
