I was at Houston Raceway Park friday night taking advantage of the cold air. I got 5 runs and 3 were good. My best sixty foot was a 1.699 on a 13.08 pass, then waited a while longer and ran a 12.971 @ 102.63 with a 1.709.

The scales weren't working, but I'd estimate that the car weighed about 4200# The car is a 96 impala SS with 158k miles. I've got a cold air intake, headers, cutouts, 2.5" exhaust with an X-pipe, Vigilante 3200 stall converter, 3.5" aluminum driveshaft, 4.10 gears, weld draglites all around with 275/60R15 BFG drag radials on the back. Stock 1.5 stamped rockers, stock valve springs, stock 191/196@.050 111lsa B-LT1 cam, stock heads, stock intake, and stock throttle body with an airfoil. The computer is a mail order PCM4Less OBD2 tune.

Just thought I'd share and brag a bit.

 

Very nice ....Pimpala's are badass

 

Damn! That's impressive for such a heavy car, with an otherwise "stock" engine. Beats my Z28!? Nice work.

 

Damn, that's pretty quick! If your Impala SS is that light green-ish color (sorry, don't know the name of it), that is one bad-a$$ ride and my favorite! Congrats dude!

 

Great times

 

Congrats! Most LT1 f bodys I know of aren't running that stout with equal mods. You've done your homework and you sir get an A+!

 

thankSS! I've spent the last 5 years trying to make it go fast. I started out running 15.50s @ under 90mph back in 2000. I figure that it's a good time to start to try making some REAL horsepower

Actually my car is black. The "light green" color is Dark Grey green metallic.

 

Black is still very ! The Burgundy is the only questionable color.

 

Wow, awesome times.

Does thie Impy have a taller overdrive than F-bodies? I can only imagine how much my car would scream on the highway with 4.10's and the A4.

 

AdioSS,


SSSWWWWEEEEETTT!!!

Happy to hear things are happening with your Impala!

Those cars are bad-*** regardless of what they run.

Nope, same .70:1 4th gear in the 4L60E. It does kinda suck on the highway, especially with both the cutouts open like I've been driving for the past week. I run 27" BFG KDWS on stock wheels or 28" BFG DRs on draglites on the back. I run the DRs more than the KDWS' (unless I know it's gonna rain.)
