> [@1QIKZ](#): > > Had a chance to sneak out last Wednesday to do some “testing”. My buddy brought his G8, which he recently made some changes to (motor and tranny) and he was doing some data logging for his tuner. Pretty apparent that drag slicks were a requirement. Even though my car hooks like mad on the street, on the track…not so much. Even with a prepped track I’m going to assume the need for more of a track setup so I have some thinking to do. Like Choda says…bring slicks, not excuses. > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t98s9fWs1Q8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t98s9fWs1Q8) What’s done to the G8? He on this board? ---

Cams, tune, intake and some tranny mods. Nothing forced or major changes, new rear gears. Tried to get him on here but he’s a busy guy. Maybe someday. ---

The biggest thing about Wed is your can’t line up and launch in the groove. ---

check the year on the snell cert. wont matter for slower cars but might as well get one that will still be ok if you decide to go faster. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lancasters-improvments/272251.md?page=2)
