impala upgrade
lol, an impala 10sec. It can be done but damn. Thats a heavy car. I love the way they look. Good luck on it. My suggestion would be LT4 conversion with ported LT4 heads, Longtubes, Forge and stroke the bottom end and throw a huge shot of nitrous.
there are actually more of them out there then you would think.
www.impalassforum.com is a good place to check things out, its down right now though

Actually my beasts almost weighs 5000 lbs.
Check out www.impalassforum.com. There are many people over there with plenty of experience. Actually, the coolest thing I think they have going on is that someone wrote a how to, including parts list, on putting a LSX block in our B-Bodies. I have seen a LS2 and LQ4 block on the site so far.
Just because we have big cars doesn't mean that we can't go fast.

now i know why i dont come around here,so much useful information.... 
10 secs isnt that fast the current record holder for an LTx powered b-car is 9.45 @ 141mph. That's moving for a big car..
if auto, big stall, gears, suspesnion, tires, etc. that ET thread will give you a good clue on good setups..
