I'll try to make a walk around video of the build at some point, but it's a pretty simple setup. Would make a great daily driver, drives like it's stock till you hit the pedal and I drove it about 2.5hrs to the track through NYC traffic to make this pass then drove it home. Just an LSX B15 376 untouched from GM with a ported LSA blower, 2.45/9.06 pulley on E85 backed by a 4l80e/3.73's. Full weight, stereo with 12" sub, AC, back seats etc... It still has more in it. -1-2 shift way too soon @5600rpm and 2-3 at 6450 ( it makes power to 7k but had the 1-2 shift point low for local no prep runway racing since wheel speed got too high from spinning), 90MM TB choking it out, no ice in the ice tank, the Toyos broke loose a little after the 60 foot and i'm launching it pretty gently because of the street tires.
this one was in my yard stripped down to an empty shell on cinder blocks for 10 years haha. it was my first car, bought it in 2003. If I had the space/money I'd definitely buy more and built them up all differently. They are awesome cars and have a really unique feeling you don't get from newer cars or smaller cars.
@nocturnalcustoms376 I had a 92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon for a couple of years that I should not have sold to modify my Audis at the time. I had the TBI 350 180hp and 300 torque,Flowmasters and regular maintenance. Smoother and more comfortable/cool than it had any right to be!
Thank you ! can't take credit for this video, my friend Bill who owns one of the nicest SS's i've ever seen took this for me while I was there bracket racing with the East Coast Impala Racing Club. Been trying to get better with my video taking/equipment but i'm usually too busy in the garage or racing to edit stuff. Get out there and race! Guys who don't get hooked the first time running down a drag track I think need a psychological evaluation haha
My dad and I used to own a 96 same color original owners. We took many 1st place trophies best in show etc etc. I think we went to this track once with the club we were in, which was SAIL, San Antonio Impala Lovers. Your car is awesome, sounds great! Sits perfect on takeoff, what did you do engine wise? We only ever did bolt ons, and exhaust. Dad focused more on the flashy stuff. I wanted it to scream. We built that car together, as my childhood, then he sold it. Then it got stolen the very next day. Such great memories, down the drain.
Thank you! These are such fun cars to drive, even more fun when you start making power with them with a stroker, LS swap etc... I'm surprised at how well it's hooking up with those Toyos that i'd barely consider a drag radial, really just summer tires. I boxed the chassis, built a few suspension components myself but the car is mainly set up for pro touring/handling and I made no adjustments to shocks or anything before racing. I can't punch it off the line, just rolling in kind of gently off idle but it's doing well. engine setup is just a "stock" GMPP LSX B15 376 crate engine with a factory GM LS7 cam (sounds like a stock idle), ported LSA blower 2.45/9.06 pulley on E85 backed by a 4l80e and 3.73's. I built it to do long road trips with comfortably and it does that well. I think I can get low 10's out of it on a better tire and probably 9's with a cam swap but I love the sleeper idle.
just a really mild LSA supercharged 6.2 LS. Nothing crazy, it would be a great daily driver. full weight with AC, stereo and 12" sub, back seats and everything.
Hey dude can I ask you what are you suggesting me to do on my 96 impala ss for LS SWAP I don’t wanana drag race or any races I just want get journey by my 96 ss and travelling and chilling every where, what’s the plan ?! And thanks ❤️
345/45/17 on a 12” stretched stock wheel on the rear and 255/50/17 up front . I notched the rear rails and did a little work to the wheel wells to make the 345’s fit.
This makes me want to keep my B body forever !!! 94 ss 4 life 🧬
Now that Impala SS is a true sleeper. Sounds like it has an LS under the hood. Please share some details about his gorgeous Chevy.

That’s a fast heavy Chevy! Beautiful.
My dream car

In the other videos, the thing has a ctsv motor. Thing is crazy!! Such a clean build.
Nice videos...I want to start racing next year. Your videos show what it is really like, with your different camera styles. Well done.

Screw that, it'll never be down the drain, just like people, cars come and go from our lives but the memory lasts forever brother

13 seconds isn’t 10 seconds especially in a place where every second matters
Who’s runnin 13’s?! 😂. Should be able to read the time board pretty clearly on a good screen. 10.67 @ 131.16 mph
lol , you blind or what ?
He ran a 10 it switched to the speed quick
