    Pontiac G8 tune can someone tell me how far from stock my tune is...

    just picked up a g8
    long story short the tune has been messed with by previous owner appears to be running rich on first start sound like the lifters are about ready to quit

    2008 g8 first read.hpt

    Tune file attached above?

    just wondering if someone could have a look and make sense of it for me was thinking i should just reflash with a stock cal
    looked like some very minor changes were made i was told the car might have had a cam installed

    car has a cold air intake stock exhaust manifolds and a dual exhaust set up
    seems to run fine lots of power redline is non existent

    going to be doing a dod delete in the next few months thinking of just using a big truck cam

    I would like to have a soild tune before i do the cam swap

    forgot to save the datalog but it showed %-12STFT and %+9LTFT around idle 600-1200rpm reving in park while warming up
    timing was bouncing around pretty quick no retard or knock shown

    i will attach a data log as soon as i get a decent drive in


    also ive looked around the forum and am i correct in saying that i can just turn dod off in the tune for the time being nothing else required?

    thanks for the stock file showed some differences

    base timing was increased by 5-15 degrees on the low and 2-5 on the high
    maf frequency is adjusted but has a small section near the beginning of the scale where it matches stock file

    when data logging is there anything i should set up before hand or just what to look for in general besides knock and fuel trims
