Default LS3 Impala SS

Whats up guy, my cars currently in the shop getting the new LS3 swapped in. All the work is being done by Tune Time Performance in Toms River NJ.

Basically were going with a highcompression LS3 with ported heads and cam. I'm hoping for around 500 to the wheels. Ill post up pics after i get it back but for now here's a couple of pics of how the car looked right before i dropped it off.







Ill update this thread once i get the car back with the motor all set up.

There's very little that needs to be changed to be able to use my current trans with the new motor.

Almost done! Were using a corvette FEAD for those wondering. Only thing we are still waiting for is a couple of hoses, and a throttle body as im keeping the original cable.

Sorry for the shitty Iphone pics.

Just in case anyones checking in here once in awhile lol

Finally got my FAST Throttle body and the steering lines we were waiting for. Just waiting on an a new X pipe to be made and it should be ready for the dyno. Prob gonna have to find an even lower front spring now as the LS3 is significantly lighter then the old LT1.

Here's how the car was when i went by the shop this morning, waiting patiently for the last few parts and the wiring to be finished up.
