Checked the fluids and swapped on the drag radials. Going to be sweating to the oldies tonight. The tracks around here play 60's music generally. I do not usually race when it is this hot out, but there is a street car shootout going on tonight.

G8 gone, but not forgotten...
Drove mine about 200 miles back from vacation. I started to hear some slight squealing and found out my rear brakes are done at 32K miles. Im having my rotors turned Monday and hopefully getting some pads so I can get it put back together.

Had the trans fluid checked by the dealer after 55k miles, he says level is fine. Rear tires worn however - don't know how that happened
I switched back to stock programming from Cortex Volant 91, and I forgot how smooth the stock shift are. For everyday driving, I can't get them that smooth, even with Cortex shift torque set to stock.
I may be going back to stock programming now that I'm driving a 92 mile commute each day.

Got the BIG clean inside and out, trunk and engine bay. Took some pics of latest mods and need to post.

Went to the Northeast G8 Meet and finally got it back on the dyno for the first time after the Maggie install. She put down 441 hp and 432 ft-lbs of torque with 8 psi of boost. It dynoed at 350/351 before the blower so I gained 91 hp and 81 ft-lbs. This is with the stock pulley so I have room to grow...

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

Oil change and finally shadow lined the upper passenger window trim, confirming my stance that I'll never use it again lol.
