From what I've read in the past, those engines are straight from a 'Vette, just de-tuned a little. Sound like you wouldn't even need mods to make it faster, just a tuner. crazy

The 2008 model was rated at 360 HP on regular gas. You could have the PCM tweaked and get 400 with premium fuel. Looks like Pontiac is just now delivering the 2009s that way as they now require 91 octane. They are rated at 15/24 MPG which is not bad for a 3900 pound V-8 car.

15/24? Not bad at all. I could live with that. You might even be able to improve on that with an intake & tune, maybe. Only a small drop from our cars, well worth the power. smile
