    Default Blown G8!

    Hey guys, Im new to this forum and just wanted to say hey. Little history behind my G8, Ordered my hot white G8 GT brand new in 2008. since then I have put alot of work....and money =/ into the car. Currently it is at its home shop, RPM in Garner NC, getting the last pieces of the build put on. Over the years I have gone through the motor with basic and advanced mods. recently I installed the Procharger D-1 kit with the Race BOV and 2 core intercooler. before the blower the car was making 449 RWHP and ran best of 11.91 at 116 MPH at Darlington Dragway, my home track. They had the car on the dyno a few weeks ago with a Boost a Pump setup, the car did great untill around 6100 RPM, the MSD Boost a Pump then failed, the car shutting off....but it made 588 RWHP before the fuel died out. So we decided a BAP wasnt safe and would not be enough for this mini monster. So now the car is in its last week of waiting on Lonnie to install his Twin Pump fuel system. He should be sending the parts to RPM mid this week and I should have the car back by next week. I wont be around long on the forum due to my unit is deploying in late september to early october to Afghanistan. I am a 11 Bravo and 11 Charlie Infantryman with the Army Guard. Heres a few shots and videos of the G8, Thanks for the website! Others may know me as SlowFourDoor on G8board. Thanks guys!

    Current Mod List: Procharger D-1 S/C kit, RACE BOV, 60lb Injectors, 2 Core Intercooler, Ported Throttle Body, Comp Custom Ground Cam .223/.239 .610/.620 LSA 113, Ls7 Lifters, Ls2 Lifter Trays, Patriot Dual Valve Springs, Comp Forged Push Rods, OBX Long Tube Headers, 3 Inch Exhaust, Yank 3200 Converter, Summit Racing Vacuum Canister, Tranny Cooler


    here is a video of the car as it sits right now. Sucked having it home for a few days and couldnt get down on it due to the fuel issue. cant wait to get her back
