Important!: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT build thread!

No real issues yet. Couple trans errors but after clearing them they stay away. Some solenoid code has popped twice while making a hard wot pull. Trans guy said not to worry. So I cleared and went on. Happened twice about 6 months apart.

Other than that my only issue is keeping tires on it and whether or not to swap to a bigger cam to match the stall
 
I'm curious if you think the under drive pulley is worth doing or not? I need to redo the front main seal on my engine and its got me thinking now.
 
I don't know about the G8 world, but I know the subie guys generally say they see no noticeable gains from doing a UDP.
 
You don't notice them, but dynos show 5-7 ish so yeah it's worth it. No more wobble and a few hp rather than none with a stock HB.

I don't think anyone will actually legit notice 5-7.
 
1 7/8 full kooks. Should be able to clean them up nicely. Suggestions on what to use?

I won't be using that axle back, I have my Solo Performance J pipes that I will be using instead. I am selling my headers and piping and adding an X pipe and these straight pipes that he has, as a full kit to someone in our G8 group. Or trading it all for a new snap on electric impact. I figure my setup is worth around $600 or so.
 
I thought about it, but I dont want to spend the money coating them to be honest. SS is fine here, and I am ok with them not being perfect. I just figured I would clean them up before tossing them on. They look awful in the picture.
 
I would have them media blasted and leave them alone. I prefer the raw ss over coated any day and a media blast will make them look like new.

looks wise SS is better than coated, but coated is better in every other category
