The best site for Impala SS info (http://www.impalassforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?action=intro) :yes:

I'd recommend a good cold air intake, tri-y headers, catback exhaust, and PCM reprogramming for starters. :thumbsup:

If you want to make it the most fun you've ever had......put a T56 in it. :unibrow: :D Add some suspension upgrades and you will really fall in love with it.

You can't ever go wrong by installing a good bumpstick. LT-1's sound great with a lope at idle.

:willy: WOW thanks for the great response, i got some 2f inch 3r inch drops springs, bilstein shocks, getting sway bars throwing some bigger wheels on it first. After that i want to make it at least 450rwhp

Having a t56 would be sick i could use parts off the camaro and make it look good on the inside to im thinking... It sucks cuz it about to be winter and i have no garage right now but i got a cover lol...

Any opinions on a good gear to throw in the back?

Loyd Elliot and Bret Bruer will get you at the 400rwhp NA for a reasonable amount. Nothing like a matched custom cam and heads.
