Post by Maymybonneliveforevr »

I thought this might be of interest to some members, see link to the thread below which is from the Corvette forum, the link to the video is in the first post of the thread.


Jerry...........any idea who owns the G8, I guess I could ask Rob from Champion Motor but thought I would ask you first?

That G8 belongs to a fellow named Jordan, a local guy here who I see now and then. It made 635 rwhp last fall on stock internals before chunking a piston at the last track day we went to. At that time he ran mid 11's, but with absolutely no traction. Cayuga Test & Tune isn't particularly good on surface prep. I wanted to break into the 12's but could only muster a 13.2.

That created a little excitement down below.

How is the 6L80 holding up? Or did he have that bulletproofed too?

Higher stall, a tune, and a cooler, otherwise stock I believe. Still going (for now). I think his saving grace is the lack of traction.

Thanks for the reply Jerry, that's some serious RWHP for the G8. I'm sure he loves the car.

Lack of traction is probably saving the entire driveline. The rubber hockey puck companion flange, diff, and rear half-shafts...
