Well the G8 has gone through a few minor transformations both functional and cosmetic since I last updated you guys and girls here so I figure it's time for an update.
Here is the performance parts modlist for the G8 as it stands right now:
-KBX Performance designed progressive wet nitrous system with remote bottle opener, bottle heater and full NHRA spec gear.
-KBX Performance Tune
-KBX Performance CAI
-Magnaflow exhaust
-Powerbond UDP
-Vector HSRK
-Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials (need the traction bad!)
With this combo the car should be putting down around 350-370rwhp N/A and around 450-475rwhp in the spray. On a good day it should turn a low 13 to possibly squeaking a high 12's N/A and turn a low 12's and maybe even a high 11 on the spray. The biggest problem was severe lack of traction after I did the nitrous system. I fixed that with the MT ET Streets. When I did that I had to buy a whole new set of wheels to allow the MT's to mount on them. I figured since I was going that far I might as well get matching front wheels to make a complete package that looks presentable even if it is for the track. Even though I am not big on modding the exterior of vehicles for looks I figured since I am forking out the money I might as well at least attempt to make it look good too. I am going for the deep blue car accented with dark wheels and window tint with a small touch of chrome.
Soon I will be doing forced induction for the G8 which I believe I had mentioned before in here. Just waiting on a few things to occur before I can start ordering parts for that. Afterwards I will keep it detuned to around 500rwhp and then once I can eliminate AFM and replace the rod and head bolts I will turn the boost up a little bit and level it out to a tad over 600 hp at the tires and keep it as a fun street vehicle with some strip use.
Overall I am pretty satisfied with how the car looks on its other set of wheels and tires. Here is a few pics of the G8 as it sits now.
