My name is Joe, I am an active duty soldier station on Ft. Drum and living in Watertown. I also work part time as a performance parts installer/ Maintenance Tech at The Auto Specialists in Watertown. My daily is a 2007 Hummer H3 thats been set up to run 35's which I'm hoping to have on it in the next month, an Aries Brush guard with 2 Hello 700 series Flight/Flood lights mounted on it and a Predator CAI. My baby is a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT also called a Holden VE Commodore SS-V to the Ausy's or a Vauxhall VXR8 to the Euro guys. Mods so far are a Rotofab Carbon Fiber CAI, SLP 160* T-Stat, Vector MS HSRK, BMR Strut Brace, BMR Sway Bars, BMR SFC's, BMR Driveshaft Tunnel Brace, Pedders XA Supercar Coilovers, Kooks LTH's, Kook 3" X-Pipe with HFC's, Vector MS DOD Delete Cam, P&P'd TB and IM, Dyno Tuned by Vector MS 412rwhp 430rwtq, and sitting on black/polished staggered ADV1's
Thanks for the welcomes, I’m planning on doing the Commodore E2 GTS nose swap on the G8 and adding a bigger cam and D1SC Procharger in the next year. BobbyG1243 it snowed a bit last night but nothing stuck I got the Hummer to play in it, I want snow lol. Travisn it keeps me in pocket change and new stereo equipment when I want it and the shop knows things are getting done correctly and safely, I’m a firm believer in “If your not going to do it right, then dont do it at all”
Don’t go to crazy with large camshafts and a Procharger. You don’t need big cams to make power with a D1SC. It will only hurt the powerband and driveability.
Welcome cornercarver82. You have just been selected as our eastern NYS snow spotter and will be required to post recon data on our snowmobile thread. Also, new members first posts are only allowed 100 characters on their first posting. Further duties will be yours as we see fit. Thanks for your service.
I know, not my first rodeo, the bigger cam is based on the GM LS9 cam just a wee bit more aggressive, the end goal is around 700whp, I figure that should be enough to keep me happy…or terrified lol
Originally from Michigan, I keep everything registered there, no emissions inspections or any of that crap, I think the sniffer would die of a heart attack if it was hooked up to the G8. No GM discount, I’ve had my fare share of Imports, Fords and Mopars, just seem to like what GM has a little more
