Adding some HP and getting rid of DOD

[992dr]

Thank ya! Tips are 2" ID inlet and dual 2" ID outlet. The outlets are double-walled with a 2.75" OD. Of course, I cut into the oval part to make a much larger inlet for the Tahoe. Didn't wanna choke it down.

The seats were within 1/2" in all dimensions of the stock S10 seat. I don't know how they'd compare to a Tahoe/Yukon/Burb, but I think they'd be a pretty close enough fit. They were kinda goofy with the way the backs adjusted- you turned a knob for the recline. I'd rather the old school lever or power adjuster.

Nice job, they look great.

That's crazy, they really look good, almost like they were made for it. I'm going to look around for a pair, see what I can find.
I agree, the lever action is a lot more convenient. My wife's Charger has that knob, its not very functional.

That's what everyone says! Even the plastic trim on the side of the G8 seat's base fit perfectly over the S10's slider cover trim. I say keeping everything GM ensured the close color match.

I don't know who thought the knob was a great idea for the recline adjust.

Did you go with all OE brake components or aftermarket? Did you just replace the flexible brake lines?

What's your son doing with that G8? Planning on taking a trip to Summernats to compete in the burnout competition . Sounds insane.

I'm gonna go with Tony on this one and say grab it from your son. You know the history of it. Its only hot when you put your foot into it plus it will be a whole different beast in your Tahoe being such a tank.

I'd like to see his G8

I don't like buying reman stuff so I went to the dealer and bought everything.
My son is using his G8 to drag race and he just bought a high rise and he will be adding Nitrous to it. He wants to get 1000 HP at the wheels. He will be forced to build a roll bar when he hits 700 HP. He is so close to it right now.

Horsepower and not ET is a requirement for a roll bar? My, things have changed.

I'm with you, not a fan of reman either.
Your sons G8 sounds like a fun car. Any pics of it?

No recent pics. It is a Black G8 running street drag radials pissing people off...

I asked him the same thing, If he makes X amount of HP Y=High ET Times Z= Roll Bar. I think this is at the track he runs at in Killeen, TX. But you are right ET is the determining factor in roll bar requirements according to NHRA
