man love these impalas, this car is iconic for me ever since i saw in in the "All About the Benjamin's" movie that Ice cube drove as a bounty hunter. @classic
Awesome that you are still grinding on thr SS and LT1. My 96 is stock at the moment. If you had to list the upgrades in order of the way you did or would want to do, what would you do from 1-5 ? Cam, stall, gears, TQH? Etc
A lot of guys pretty much immediately go for a converter + gears combo, since that'll help get you into the meat of the torque band these have stock. Lot of people also end up doing 1.6 roller rockers, headers & catless mids with an exhaust, and an actual cold air (like a RAISS). Tons have netted 280-300WHP on a stock camshaft, stock head car. I personally did smaller suspension stuff first (springs, shocks and sway bars). Tri-Y headeds and catless mids to go with the exhaust that was on the car when I purchased it. Then, rebuilt the trans with a 3000RPM FTI stall + trans cooler. Most recently was the TH which I personally would look at doing before anything else. Drives so much nicer and no looming threat of Optisparks shitting the bed on a road trip.
@@bom_LS2_gto thanks a bunch man. I just got some spintechs in and I really want to do that clear images too. Trying to justify the prices. BUT my cats are trash too ...... Hmmmmm.
@DjCBlaq don't be in a rush, I used to do that and barely scraped by when I was 18/19. Buy stuff on sale or wait to get stuff from guys in a pinch that need to recoup some cash. The Impala's taken me forever since I've just been waiting to stuff to come up for sale 😂
I'm still torn on 3.42 or 3.73's, but this thing gets ass mileage as is and sadly gas is expensive for the midwest here in this political shithole that is Illinois. 3:42's would still help, but a lot of guys seem to like 3.73's for the low end punch
Nice IMP! I have a low mileage 95 Camaro Z28 with lots of mods. I had Richmond 3.73 gears installed from the stock 2.73 gear years ago. That made a huge difference in the way the car runs. Then I added a heavy duty rear end cover from Detroit Drivetrain Specialist. When you get your gears installed it will knock off your speedometer. A computer reprogramming will correct that issue.
@@bom_LS2_gto thanks I messaged him before on fb so hopefully he makes some more. Your build is coming out good. Im heading the same direction I have a DCM
@user-mc6qf9ry7d A while back he did a small production run of bumpers or something body related, but haven't seen anything of him after that. Shame, since he was such an easy guy to do business with and was a staple in the SS community for smooth bumpers since that fuck from Street Trends tried to swindle a lot of folks (including me).
@@bom_LS2_gtodo u do any custom work or know anyone who does? i want to get a light up emblem for my grill. just cant find any so i think it’ll need to be custom made
@@TheRoseboi92 I believe Kiss My Tails on FB is the actual business account for him, which is hysterical since I didn't know my car was on his profile picture 😂
18's on mine, been in cars on 22's before and the lack of room to nicely fit any sidewall makes them ride like dick. 18's on a 275/40 rides great, even on fairly stiff Hotchkis springs.
I've kicked the idea around, but it's such a fun cruiser as is. Probably would go 4L80 if anything down the line since I already have a decent manual car

Congrats on the Impala, it’s really nice and pretty clean. I have work to be done on my Impala also so good luck to us both.
That impy already looks evil. Can't wait to see the upcoming work!
How much was the torque head install?
powerdyne blower ?
Love your car. I see your changing your your front windshield and seal. Can you direct me to where I can get a rear window seal from.
Sadly can't, but hopefully you can find something. Lots of seals and exterior parts are NLA for these cars sadly
Lookin gooooddddd. Which brand smoothie bumpers are those?
Honestly can't remember, but the guy who produced mine stopped making them
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Boa noite meu amigo parabéns muito lindo de mais

Weee and woosh my favorite ride.

@@bom_LS2_gto 100% true the car game is a marathon when you actually have a real life to live. Lol.
Do you have an IG too?
@@DjCBlaq sure do! I'm most active on there, same tag as here. @bom_LS2_gto
Ain't no shit that it's a marathon 😂
Hey bro what tail lights are those or did you do half paint half not?
Get a hold of Kissy Tails and source some 91-92 Caprice tails, he fills and paints them 👌
Can't wait to see this done. Surprised the imp doesn't have gears. 3.73 wakes these cars up...should of came stock.

Where did you find that spoiler. I’m been looking for one
Believe Ryan Quinton produced it, but he stopped production on them a few years back shortly after I got this one.

Where did you purchase your torque head conversion kit from?
Uhhhh.... Torqhead? I waited until their black friday/Christmas sale, cut like $150 out of it. Sweetens the deal even more
Where’d you get taillights if I may ask
Kissy Tails, I scooped up some nice 91-93 Caprice tails and he refinished them in the Picasso style he does!
@@bom_LS2_gtodo u do any custom work or know anyone who does? i want to get a light up emblem for my grill. just cant find any so i think it’ll need to be custom made
I need your taillights bro lol
Junkyard find 91-92 Caprice tails for $20, send them to Kissy Tails and be patient. Well worth the wait
@@bom_LS2_gto Is the kissy tails and kiss my tails the same guy? I found both accounts on facebook
@@TheRoseboi92 I believe Kiss My Tails on FB is the actual business account for him, which is hysterical since I didn't know my car was on his profile picture 😂
20s or 22s cause I have 22s and I think I’m going to down grade to 18s or a chrome set of stocks
18's on mine, been in cars on 22's before and the lack of room to nicely fit any sidewall makes them ride like dick. 18's on a 275/40 rides great, even on fairly stiff Hotchkis springs.
Nice car boss what wheel setup do you have like brand rims?,thanks
@jay317317 scroll back through my videos, shows everything 👌
I like car
Me too
@@bom_LS2_gto number one
3.73s so you aren't revisiting the gears if you ever go 6 speed 😏
