Some new mods.....56k, no, no, no, no 18 x 8" Verde Kaos wheels in Hyper-silver
255/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE760s
EBC Sport Rotors
EBC Red Stuff pads
Goodridge SS brake hoses.
As some of you might have known, I was getting tired of my 20s, so I decided to make a change. At first, I really missed my 20s, but these new wheels have grown on me fast and everytime I drive the car, I like them even more.

Jury is still out for me on them. . . . mainly because we had a pair of those style wheels on the wife's Subie and that is what I associate it with. Definitely like the looks better than those 20s though. I do like the tires though, look a hell of a lot better than the stockers.
On a side note have you had any problems with your grills ?

Great looking Impala! I never saw your car with the 20's but I like the way it looks now. Are those 18's? How are the brake upgrades working for you? I'm not satisfied with the stock brakes on my Impala and would like some better performing replacements for mine as well. Every Impala I have seen has had rock chips like no other on the front end. Have you had this problem? I went with a bra to prevent this. Not loving the looks but it's better than a new paintjob every 6 months. Again sharp car bro.

Now, if you have a laptop and aren't afraid of having to learn alot about tuning, then you should definitely go with HP Tuners.

AFAIK, the DashHawk isn't so much a programmer as much as it's a data logger. There was at least one guy on here with a GP that had one and he seemed to like it quite a bit.

It's good, as long as you don't expect too much from it, since it looks like they're never going to include torque mgmt. What I like about it is that you get results and have the ability to tweak it to your car's performance without having to know a whole lot about programming. 06MonteSS (Lew) has helped develop a program over at DS that helps make it easier, plus he's a great guy and should be able to help you out a little. Bottom line, for the money, it's not bad, but could be better, esp. if we'd ever get torque mgmt.
hey man... if ya send me the tune file outta your car, I can tweak it with some tricks I've learned over the past months and months and months lol...
which tune are you using, the diablo tune NO DOD, or the diablo tune WITH DOD still on?
here's how to get the tune file outta your car:
