Looking good. Can't wait to see the GXP. GM has done one helluva job promoting it during March Madness.

Guess some pigs "can" fly...

I'm wondering if some torque management was slowing it some?

Since it was tuned, it probably gained almost 35hp. Running premium and doing a nice spark curve, shows what this can do. A tune and gain that much is pretty impressive.

So the 361 horse GT L76 takes premium and a 400hp GXP LS3 takes 87??

Wow, very impressive. I can't wait to see what the lighter Camaro can do.

I've heard it is all exhaust and that is holding the LS3 G8 back. Oh course no official SAE numbers have come out for the 2009 GXP.

You aren't kidding.

It almost seemed like March Madness was a Pontiac G8 show, periodically interrupted by the occasional basketball game.

No the L76 is rated for 87 octane ....hence a tune to optimize running premium fuel would be quite beneficial .

Yep, but the critics will be silenced down the road as these start pouring into enthusiasts hands.
