i agree my stall converter would have played a huge part in that race from a dig it would have been alot better i'm sure. Not sure about my mph but i think i could beat him from a dig. I was hanging with him from a roll. Thanks for the info keep it coming

Couple friends of mine used to have LT1 Imps that were identical from the trans back: built trans, 3000 TCI stall, 3.73 gears, bigass tires. One was Vortech supercharged, LT headers, custom CAI, and ran a best of 13.4 @ ?102mph?. The other was a 10 to 1 383 w/ LE2 heads, mild cam, same custom CAI and ran a best of 13.9 @ 105mph. I'd imagine yours falls somewhere into those ranges. Good run though! Judging by your setup and his V, you nearly beat him with the infamous driver mod.

I ran into a 1st gen V this morning (in the slobalt) but i dont wana start anew thread so i hope OP doesnt mind......
what was funny was i ran into the exact guy when i was stock (GM tune now) he pulled me like 3 cars from a stop
but as we got goin he noticed i didnt drop further and further... next light he told me thats a nice, fast lil 4door, he expected to pull a train length.
Fast forward to today: i see him up ahead at a light, i didnt make it to get a dig (fortunately fr me so we got in a quick roll.....from about 30 we get on it, he pulls about a car and keeps it till we let off...the lanes went down to 1 so i pull behind and get a nod/wave.....i wonder if he recognized me

Chevas885 is right i am definetly hoping to faster than 13.9 with at LE2 setup i mean you gotta think they are low 15 sec cars stock so i really only knocked off pretty much a sec from that time ? i was thinking low 13's high 12's, i gotta find the list with the B body mods and times slip. Head and cam lt1 imapalas are definetly faster than that i'm sure.

Don't get me wrong, I love them Imp SS's! Must have test drove 7 or 8 of them over the years but never did pull the trigger.

Well considering that the supercharged guy followed Car Crafts Impalla SS build down to every nut and bolt, and ran a better time then Car Craft managed, I don't think so. Cars are friggin heavy! 4200-4400lbs heavy. That puts it into the same category as a SRT8 Challenger/Charger/300C which itself generally only runs mid 13's with 426hp. 260hp is stock in the Imp SS.

Last I checked, with the annoying *** dealer markup the SRT8 Challenger's were going for $50-$55k and the SRT8 Chargers were $45k. Thats alot of dough for mid to low 13's in the sub-110mph range.

Go to azsupersport.com. Scroll down impala ss top E.T. page There are quite a few le2 caprice, impala setups on there. Those setups should give u a ballpark of where ur car could be at.
Also, don't be afaid to lose some weight.

Hmm. I'm confused. Are you referring to the new Charger/Challenger/300C or the 16 yr old LT1 Impalla SS?
