My buddy Ryan's 10 second G8.

[syP]

Been following his car for a while. Went to high school with the kid. 3600 stall, ported stock heads, big cam, 175 shot of nitrous. Stock rear end stock trans. Stock suspension minus lowering springs. Fucker rolls out.




This was the red one up at Luke's back in august with me.

Sounds awesome.

 

[Fish]

Nice.

He should bracket race. I saw 11.03 like clockwork a few times.

 

[Spivitz]

Hauling ass!

 

[Shibby50]

That trans sounded all over the place

 

[Gone_2022]

That trans sounded all over the place

Agreed like nitrous was cutting in and out really fast. Or the trans was just not happy haha that's a lot of shot for stock everything

I sprayed 150 a few times tore the motor down the pistons were gold on top

 

[udluuz]

Sounds like he needs a tuner. Good job though

 

[Gone_2022]

Wonder what it could do with a good tune and some lighter rims and tires. Actually lighter anything lol those cars are boats

Trans was slipping bad. I guess a 6l80e can only take so many nitrous shifts. Lol

175 shot on top of big cam is huge. I think any normal trans would have some trouble

 

[The Bluegrass Nomad]

That was not a happy trans. Love the car tho

 

[Smokinhot]

Very nice, definitely should have more in it.

 

[Zack]

Jesus how many bottles did he bring?

 

[rocket5979]

Build the trans, retune it, run it again... Nice ET's.

 

[Lead Pipe]

6L80's are piles of shit.

 

[RedBeard]

This car is NOM! He was at Strats one of the few times I was there this year, cool dude and one bad ass car.

Yes? Do you actually believe they aren't??

 

[rocket5979]

When they have someone tuning them that is worth a damn then I haven't seen many issues with them. Mine held up just fine in stock form with 500+rwhp back when my Pontiac was mostly stock with just TT's. Yes, some have failed sooner than expected, but I would not consider them "piles of shit" as you chose to refer to them as.

 

[Lead Pipe]

I would. They are unreliable, inconsistent, expensive as hell to rebuild and severely limited on stall speeds. Not to mention it costs a small fortune to swap out this pile of crap for a real trans. Any little bit of spin and the trans has no idea what to do no matter how good your tuner is. I fought this battle and gave up. Ask Slolane how much he likes his 6L80.

I know I need to find a reputable 6L80 tuner, my trans tune sucks and rattles my teeth. At times it just doesn't know what to do. It has to be in the perfect spot for the trans to downshift correctly. I wasn't sure if it was a function of the tune or the transmission itself.

 

[Lead Pipe]

I think I've found your problem.

Speed Inc? Livernois (if you wanna drive it out there) That Shaun guy syp mentioned? Although that is a remote tune i'm assuming.

I should at least try Speed Inc. Brandon tuned the transmission, but I think it was one of the first few G8's he tried. And from what I understand, the tuning of the 6L80 is more complex than your average slush box.

I just hate to take it somewhere and pay $400-500 to find out that they can't do much better.

The trans tune I had from superchips was actaully a good daily driver when I had it on 50% torque management. When I turned it off (at the track) it would bang gears pretty hard but got me my best trap speeds.

I would imagine that there wont be much of any gains to be had but you will be happy with a better shifting trans.
