I just picked one up in march and man im glad i did its a super rare car and takes mods very well. Im still a dodge fan so i have mu charger its nice to switch it around. I plan on modding mine i want about 600whp
@Jvion Smith it's @tevonski Not too many to be honest. Most have been cammed so the DOD will be deleted. Just make sure that the crank Balancer isn't wobbling when you purchase it and send it!
@@TevonMaples i'm looking into buying one and went to check it out the other day. it has 130k mikes but the balancer is wobbling. Is it fixable? Has that caused internal issues?
Tevon, that's a very nice machine! I bought my G8 GT new in 2009 since it was the last high performance Pontiac. My setup is very similar to yours. I run a Magnuson 2300 Supercharger with 10 pounds of boost. I had the DOD fuel management removed when they installed a new high performance cam. I also run E85 through Bosch Injector Dynamics 1050 fuel injectors and use dual fuel pumps. I had the entire fuel system redone to handle the corrosion of the ethanol. I had new suspension parts installed, including cradle bushings. The car was then dyno tuned. It has 715 HP at the wheels. Unfortunately I run stock Michelin Pilots all around and this limits take offs! I have a single piece carbon fiber drive shaft, which eliminates the carrier bearing, which is a weak link in the stock drive train. I still run the stock 2.92 rear end, but with a 4.12 first gear, it still launches like hell.The car is a daily driver. I have had the opportunity to humble a Dodge Hellcat! I wish you the best and enjoy that G8!
Poor Americans we didn't finish the VE Commodore model until 2013 You could of bought 2013 Chevy SS as is same car except the Chevy had extras more like the Commodore whereas the Pontiac came with less features as a Australian Commodore of same model. I own the Commodore ute version of these
lol funny seeing Americans act out the last of the Pontiacs as a big deal. not even made in America. Australia kept making this model of Commodore until 2013 before going to the 2013 model that was sold in America as Chevy SS Sedans. I own 2011 Holden Commodore SS ute . ute version of this car.
Just did an LSA on a built 408 for my G8. Barely about 600 miles on the new build. I wish glanzer made more tanks rn my temps stay normal in this weather but they could be cooler with a tank. And definitely need it before next summer here in Texas. What’s the power you’re making?
Where in IL are ya from? I’m originally from Rockford but live in Colorado now lol. Nice G8 build! I hope to LSA mine in the future too, good shit man 🙌🏽

Seeing builds like this make me wanna go head and get a g8 🔥
Do it man, it's a great platform to be honest.

@@nedkelly9688 You're a fool, we had the g8, chevy SS, caprice ppv, and the chevy ss from years 08 - 2017
Nice build, man! Did you piece the intake together yourself, or was that a kit? Going to be looking for a 5” myself in the near future.
I cobbled one together and it did solid
@@TevonMaples Sounds good, thanks for the reply!
I was your 9th view! Lol looks good man! Need some cold start, revs, and highway pulls lol gotta hear her purr a bit.
I got all of that on the channel, Lol. Just need more. I appreciate it though homie.
Right on ill have to check back and see what I've missed! Keep pushing man!
@@drankthatpurple it'll be back in IL in Feb. Cordovas the move
Chyea chyea can't wait until you get back to get a ride and see it in person!
@tevon, thx. Illinois, to Arizona, WHAAT could possibly go wrong!?!
I have a 2009! IWhen 'folks ask me, I always say It's the "Last of the Pontiacs!" YEAH BABY VRoom!
Can't wait for the turbo man 👌🏾 it'll be my dream car "finished"

What’s the power you’re making?
Right at 724! Sorry I just seen this!
Stock heads and non ported lsa ?@@TevonMaples
@@byranmartin7321 heads have a slight port, was non-ported blower for like a month. At the time of this video it had a kong port.
I think the G6 17” wheel center caps fit on CTS-V wheels. If you’re still looking for Pontiac caps
I actually have been rocking hard with the ones I got.
This is a fire build how much would it cost to buy one? Or what did it cost you total or starting price?
A nice LSA kit is about 8 or 9k.
That's ported polished everything. Ect. This has been a on going build for a couple years. The LSA was just put on
Where in IL are ya from? I’m originally from Rockford but live in Colorado now lol. Nice G8 build! I hope to LSA mine in the future too, good shit man 🙌🏽
Galesburg Area! I'm in the QC alot also.
Do it man! The power is addicting lol.
@@TevonMaples Ah nice! And I definitely think that’s the route I wanna take! Need that boost since I’m so high up in elevation haha. Nice car man 🔥
@@TevonMaples Your only an hour NW from me lol. 09 G8 GT stryker blue all original...
@@seanweaver9414 hell ye! I'll be at sick week coming up, up here

Nice video! Where’d you get your gauge pillars from?
Thanks man! It's a Ortiz 3 Gauge Pillar pod. You can find them on Facebook time to time or on their website!
What part of Illinois? My wife has a 09 G8 GT also. Hers is pretty stock currently though
Monmouth IL area!
We are over by Ottawa Illinois!
@@jaredlyon6668 Small world! Come out to the car show in monmouth, One of the biggest ones for IL!
@TevonHD post up some dates and I will try and get out there for it! Love the G8 man keep up the videos on it
IMO they look better with the Commodore VE front end.
Agree then a HSV front is even better looking.
Dyno numbers yet on your set up?
good job bro
Hope your good Steven! Thanks man!
Niiiice what intake?
It's a RPM intake from a V.
Gotta do some minor work to get it to fit correctly but worked perfect for my application
How much you paid for it? I’m still trying to get me intake 😂 I’m doing a LSA build myself check out the channel to follow along. I’m gonna sub to you
@@nicksbuilds5514 They're 550 plus shipping. Think it was like 600ish shipped to my door. And I got you bro
Maybe I missed it but what cam and stall?
ZL1 Stall. Cam I can't remember off the top of my head. I'd have to look at the sheet
What are the cam specs?
I cant remember off the top of my head, I'll be switching to a turbo cam before to long.

Has your car ever Overheated?
No, I've owned it for 7 years and haven't had a single issue with overheating.
But I stay on top of pumps and coolant levels.
