    NoriBuilt off Eckhert has been doing some good work, they'll be doing the turbo upgrade on my MazdaSpeed6. I'm also getting my exhaust and test pipe from them. They make some nice IC's too...They're having a dyno day on June 19th with an awd dyno they're having installed so all types of toys are welcome. Whatever you go with on that G8 is going to end up sweet, I love those things.

Last but not least the tune is very important don’t let some Joe blow who owns a shop tune it because he says he can do it pay the money to travel to a real tuner or fly one in. Lots of shops are tuning via remote desk top and I don’t like that to much… lots can happen in a split second
    yes once you decide on your kit don't skimp on the install go to a reputable shop as I'm sure you know. On a side note what happend to texasracingscene. It used to be a decent place to go for advice but I hadn't been there in about 5 years And jumped on the other day to see it lost alot of members it seems.

    Lol. All the old stang and camaro guys are long gone now it seems. This also hit me while working today- the suped up cts cadillac makes uses a 6.2 supercharged but it doesn't pull 600. I think it was 550 at the flywheel. So like chris said it could be done just make sure you do it right.

    Stock cts-v puts around 505 rwhp. 600rwhp would take some work for sure. 500rwhp is easy, but thats a big difference between 500-600.

    I would not do forced induction unless you have 10k laying around by the time you are done with the parts tunning install clutch and fixing what else broke you will have at least that much in it. You can get over 500hp all motor fairly easily with the Ls3. I had 500 with the ls1 all motor. My experience has been that if it wasn't built for forced induction it will just be a matter of time before something goes.

    Just trade it in for a CTS-V. I'm trying to convince Cort to let me do that with the hummer. She said I can if she can get an Escalade. Hmmmm.....is $2k in car payments worth going without food? I still haven't fully decided.
