I've got a bone stock 96 Impala. I'd like to get 325-350 NA at rwhp. What do I need, I'm on a budget!

 

A bigger budget

 

longtubes, CAI, computer program and a decent size cam

 

A hot cam would be nice and would probably produce those numbers with some headers.

 

I know a friend who with home ported alluminum f-body heads, 2500 stall, cc304 cam, clearimage tri-y headers made 330rwhp on his caprice station wagon & ran 13.7@98mph with a wagon

 

Right on. Get some gears also because these cars are heavy. 3.73s will do. 3.42s are alright but dont help with take off. Also go with a OBD1 from Bryan Heter at PCMforless.com. CAI is also a must. You got several choices from a homemade,RAISS and SSR which are the same but SSR is plastic and RAISS is aluminum. I have the Rammit which draws air from the bottom of the car. Great for high speed. But the Hot Cam will put you at those #s easy and you wont loose the drivablity. If you go larger than hot cam you will probably have to get a 3000 stall or better to make it go. Go to www.impalassforum.com and you will find everything there you need. Go luck and enjoy the last of the b--body collection. Oh I forgot put in for a t-56 tranny also. Mine should go in this summer. Nothing better than a big car shifting gears. So much fun.
