Indeed it has been. Work and school has been keeping me strung up tight, Including the official opening of RHX Tuning. Been MIA on alot of the forums due to Gray Ghost change in setup as well, so its good to be back!

How's your car?

Done this on more than a few vehicles, just no G8s yet. The 90 will run just fine on the 80 program, no TCM/OS changes necessary and just do the typical tuning you would normally do and change the torque range on the tables if you want. Try to use a ZL1 camaro trans crossmember, might be plug and play not too sure on the G8s. The driveshaft just needs to be shortened up by a small amount.

Right on! That's a big help to me! So trans functionality should seemingly be plug and play then. Considering the TCM is made into the trans, I should be able to plug in, rip the file, and HP Tuners will automatically load the trans segment? I'll look into crossmemeber and see where we're at. If the Camaro crossmember is the same as A G8's, the ZL1 as you said would be perfect. This may be easier than I thought!

I would do a read of it when it's all together with the 90 for starters, have no idea what OS will come pre-loaded on the TCM inside that particular 90. Not sure if the 90 OS that comes pre-loaded will talk to the G8 ECM OS or not without codes/errors, if it does not just do a full write of your existing original 80 hpt file to load the original TCM OS onto the controller and go from there. It's really not hard and works just fine.

Cool, well regardless I'll get it figured out. Thanks for your input buddy.

If he loads the 80 program he might loose some of the features in the 90 program.
I might try using the 90 as is and hope you get lucky, but I doubt it will work since the vin will be incorrect at the very least.

The 90 OS more than likely will not play with the G8 ECM OS. Even in other setups it rarely works without being pissed off in some way and further more most 90 operating systems have quite a bit of a different setup as far as shift modes, etc go when compared to the G8 original.
