I ran a friend of mines 98 SS at about 20 MPH roll and smoked him.

Wow...The headers and cutout must really make a difference on your Monte. In owning both a bolt-on LS4 and a bolt-on 2002 Z28, I can tell you that the Camaro would crush the Impala badly from a roll. I think it might be able to stay close up to about 50 MPH from a dead-stop, though.

Anyway, nice kill. Do you have dyno numbers on that thing, Mel?
