I had my 08 tuned three years ago resulting in a final pull of 314 hp. Mods were MAP sensors, charge tubs and a turbo catalytic converter . Tune was done on 94 pump gas. Only added about 24 hp over the optional GM tune that the car already had on it. Optional GM tune was about 290 hp and 300 t. Have put over 3000 miles on the car since the last tune with no issues. Loads of fun to drive and have smocked lots of so called hot cars.
I have a 24k ORIGINAL mikes GXP, love the sky grey color. I just contacted rpm will try the tune thing and see how it goes. I am deleting the cat though.
Awesome job. Too bad this vid didn't get more views. Can't believe you went through all this and never took the top down. It should be an OSHA thing. I have repetitive stress disorder from cranking my neck 90 degrees to get into mine with the top up.
@@MGPtuning That's what is cool. In the Solstice community, there seems to be a terrified stigma that nobody can tune these cars. There is no such thing as going to a tuner and have them work on the car. Everybody ships their cars off to one of two shops in Texas that claim to have proprietary tuning techniques. They claim similar results to what you got. Wish I could do it, but I can't.
I dont get this either???? Just the plastic part to go from a single tip to double tip exhaust is like 3 to 400 bucks. Just seems really stupid to me. Wish i knew more. I have a small solstice collection i guess but the GXP models that i have had are super quick and super nice........

It was reliable?
@@LorenzoClara97 YES, but it's on the edge of the limit for the stock clutch.
You ever mess with the stock 2.0 turbo gxp model?

Thanks man! This is actually one of more popular videos and I rarely ever mess with these so it’s pretty cool!

Dude should have just bought a gxp with the 2.0
Would have been cheaper in the long run
But red is the slowest color 😎

Good to see this posted. I own 3 mysterious black o6s .
This ia a 2.4L engine???
2.0 actually. The regular solstice/sky had a 2.4, but this is the 2.0 turbo.
