Nice Impala. When I finally get done with my 70 Monte Carlo LS3 E-Rod, I'm going to do this to my 96 Impala SS. I'll have to go the E-Rod route since I'm California. Maybe if I do a couple of more deployments, I'll got with the LSA E-Rod.

Where we are at right now. Probably gonna end up going with a FAST manifold as well, since the TB is a 102mm and stock manifold is 90.

The completely custom X-pipe made by the shop, hooked up to BRP headers and magnaflow mufflers.

The heads have been really gone through by the machine shop. Also from his personal experience tuning these motors with the FAST manifold Matt the shop owner at Tune Time Performance is confident we'll pick up some power.

FAST manifold is on. Unfortunately the oil pan had a little issue, and had to come off.

The motor is not tuned yet and the filter on the car is temporary.

I do, Rich!!!

But a lot of credit has to go to Matt and George at Tune Time. They are getting pretty good at integrating the LS motors into the B-bodies and getting everything to work as it should.

Lol Yep Tune Time does a hell of a job. Specially George, who basically put the damn thing together, he double and triple checks everything. He even modified the harness a bit to make it look even cleaner in the car.
Cant wait to see what Matt can squeeze out of it after tuning.

Here another idle clip of it, from my phone.
