Must be unlucky?

Go look at the g8 forums lots of people do 360-380 with headers and boltons on various dynos

PatrickG put down 335 on 87 octane with a intake he is pretty well respected for his tuning and cam combos

Should be more interesting to see what JDs car traps based on weight and power

Also seems these cars have overly sensitive knock sensors(patg and others have posts on fhis topic on ls1tech)and some pretty huge HP swings based on IAT

What in the Christ is 6 degrees of knock? Did you mean 6 counts of knock? Or 6 degrees of timing? If that’s 6 counts of knock that seems like a bit much, as I know my car at most can get 1 to 2 on a bad day.

They’re super sensitive and get false knock its mentioned a few times in the links above.

Ya, retard 6° of timing due to knock, sorry. And I was told by Livernois to look and make sure the headers werent touching anywhere, as that would cause false reading of knock

Ahhhh makes sense now. Well that’s pretty decent power for sure. Not super familiar with the g8’s but I do know I really like that GXP model they made. Are those limited because I haven’t actually seen too many in person.

Extremely limited from what I understand. GXP is also the only one with a stick.
