Don, keep me posted, it sounds like a good time. I'm only about 30 min. away from Greatlakes Drag strip.

GLD>WIR. /story.

WIR (in Kaukauna) is for the FAIL. The track sucks, they never update anything, there's no traction to be found, the equipment is SEVERELY outdated, there's a giant dip in the track (WTF!!! MORONS!), and they have the SHITTIEST schedule EVAR. GLD trumps WIR. Period.

If I were you, I would lower the G8 and GT badges to the bottom of the trunklid, and instead of their current placement, switch sides, so if read left to right, it's G8 GT, not GT G8. JMO, awesome car, and I hate you for having one when I can't lol.

That's why I didn't remove PONTIAC, I didn't want to switch GT & G8.

If the reviews on the Vararam intake are good and I pick one up, I'll give you my Spectre intake for $25 shipped. How's that for being a nice guy?

Spectre doesn't have a kit for the G8, you have to buy the parts and put it together yourself. They sell the parts at Jeg's or Summit, I think it runs about $150 for all the pieces with the filter. There's nothing wrong with it, I just want the ram air style CAI.

I put it on after I did the tune and it definitely gave the car more power, specially in the upper RPM range. The Vararam is supposed to start shipping this week, and I'm like #30 on the group buy list, so that will give me a little time to see what the others have to say about it.

Just keep searching Ebay for the Cortex 2950, I landed mine for $200 plus shipping. They just released the 93 octane tune today, so I'll let you know what the butt dyno indicates.

I downloaded the 93 octane tune and it rocks! The car pulls even harder now and the shifts are perfect. It chirps the tires in 3rd so long that the traction control light comes on! :shock:
