Important!: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT build thread!
- Thread starter Jared
- Start date
Idk if you've said, but what are your plans for the truck once the G8 is done? Got a timeline on the G8 getting done?
I was referring to his red truck.
I'm lifting it back up as soon as I get a free weekend. 4/6 at least. Then may list it again. I want to get out of it and into a cheaper dd. My wife may be trading her car in for something newer and more enjoyable to drive.
Car may be done next weekend. Really all I need is my tune and to finish the motor. We left my windage tray at the shop by mistake at the hot tank.

because it comes with the autocal...it isn't just for a tune, considering dyno tuners want $500 here, $650 with autocal and 3 retunes is a good deal...of course, that's my opinion and I have been debating my tune for well over 3 months!
Ask Blackbear how much his is. I believe it was $500, and then went up some. BBP is good, but Pat G knows the G8 cars REALLY well, as he owns one and modded it heavily and is well respected on many forums. The only other tuners I was going to consider is Rick Crawford, and his communication sucks and he is always backlogged, Futral motors in Louisiana, but they couldn't give me a solid answer. First I was told it had to be in person, then now they said they can do email tunes, but never got me a solid reply. The local two guys Sam Miller and James Karger are either a pain in the ass to reach, or prices tend to change frequently. I decided this was my bet route.

You should see Subaru ProTune pricing :suicide:
Typically 4-500 plus a Cobb accessport which is 650.

Good thing I have a buddy who works for Cobb...I can get a killer deal on a build! They got a nice GT-R in there right now, and a Pontiac Solstice :turborofl:
Yeah, too bad he didn't get back to you when I was looking for parts :slorg:
Interested in what they're doing with the Pontiac lolol
Yeah, you said you were buying parts from a local guy used or something.
Yeah, shop is about 35 minutes from my house, and 5 minutes from my shop. Buddy lives 15 minutes from me, that's where my car is...and that dope truck!
