I was sworn to secrecy.

Been busy with the holiday/family stuff. Pictures I can post up later today since i cleaned up the engine bay and got all the dust off lol. Videos will have to wait since i haven't gotten far enough with the tuning.

Also, if you are interested in a race sometime very soon, i would be happy to put off taking my engine apart for the build so we can line up!

I'm sure your GTP is running healthier than mine lol. I'm only on a 2.9" right now. I'm sure I could go down more but once I dial in the 2.9 and maximize the timing, I'll see if I am able to drop down to the 2.7" I have.

Pictures as promised.... Merry Christmas!

Engine bay:














HPTuners box fits right into the cubby hole:




Dual Aeroforce and Innovate Wideband:

SWWEEEET!!! very clean!! Nice job.

You getting yourself a headlight restore kit for christmas?

Plan is eventually have the whole car repainted and everything will be new so right now headlights are not a concern lol

Got the pics now....now we need some videos

The blower looks good in black.

Notice in the pics u have strut tower braces...do they make a noticeable difference in handling?

Looks good man!

Got the tune almost dialed in. Now with 6-10 inches of snow on the way I won't be able to finish until the weekend probably. So, videos this weekend. Wheel spin on the 1-2 shift on dry pavement at 50 mph is pretty interesting though lol. Glad the G8 is in the garage and the intrigue is on daily driver duty! haha

How many gears does it spin in the snow?

Not going to dyno for a little while now. New radiator started to leak on me so replacing it today. Then if this snow clears up on the roads i can finish the tune.
