No kidding. I have seen otherwise intelligent people put themselves in a dyno cell during a pull, standing on the pass side of the engine, with their head/face down by the dampener...

Thanks ZFreie. It only appears to be a sleeper when the motor is not running. Not too many heavily modded Impalas on the street are still working with the LT platform. LQ9 and LS series swaps seem to be more popular.

Track set-ups are a different story. LTx + power adder have produced some of the fastest Impalas on the planet. This is how information is shared in the Pala racing community. http://www.top-et.com/impalass/index...s=7&Sort=Class

I agree Dog. They are a bit dated and very heavy. There will be some planned upgrades on the street set-up. Just glad to have it running again.
