Has anyone had their G8 tuned??
 
I just started modding my 2009 Stryker Blue G8 GT the mods are
Roto Fab CAI and OBX Axleback and I am thinking about getting the car tuned and the trans tune also and maybe port the ls2 intake for a few extra HP:D

anyone tune their G8 that did NOT do internal mods, (cam,heads)

I hear these cars REALLY wake up after a tune and a trans tune especially

we had a guy in Delaware do a tune on my supercharged GT. Bada$$ but hard shifts.

i have been reading about the different trans tune options and I know they can tune the regular drive mode, sport mode, and manual shift mode all seperatly which is what I like

Supposedly the trans can be tuned to just about any shift points. Supposedly my trans is tuned to maximum shift points. I imagine that's putting a strain on the trans, ut I don't put but maybe a 1000 miles a year on the car. I love how responsive it is and wouldn't want to change it unless someone told me I'm heading for a puddle of trans fluid in the near future. :)

Give me some time. I still have that classic mentality. 'low mileage' equals value and it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. By next year, I'll be up to at least 2000 miles. ;) Plus, I split driving time with my 2005 GTO, 77 Bandit, 2001 TA and my 67 GTO will be back on the road next Spring. :) Love driving all of them for different reasons.

With the mods that you have now, you might be good with just a Cortex tune (superchips cortex 2950 I believe). You can change the shift firmness and get it specifically tuned for your current mods. I would save a good tune until you get longtubes or something more major.

yeah I am not interested in a hand held tuner, I want to be able to grow and have more adjustability as I go. my only debate is do I buy my own HP Tuners software and be able to switch my tunes or go and have Jeremy Formato tune the car and be done with it

I am torn between using Jeremey Formato for the tune or getting my own software and have Patrick G do a tune for me that i can load in the car my self

I think Pat G is free retunes. If you plan on modding more, get his tune and just get a new one whenever you add parts.
