A custom ECU tune should get you the gain you want, even easier if you stick to a strict 91 Octane tune (power can still be made on 87 Octane). Even just tightening up the shifts and pressures in the...

Impala/Grand Prix Strut Tower Bars?

Anyone ever try installing these on their car?

They are just 2 bolts on each end that you have to drill out for the original cars anyway, so I don't see why it wouldn't work other than it might be a...

Interesting, good stuff to know.

I'm hoping a real tune will even the playing field (not that I'm racing anyone, just in terms of benchmarking/bench-racing in my head).

Those look like some generous bolt holes, so my guess is it's drilled out to fit both. So I'm assuming they must both have the same hub diameter, if this does work out so well.

So What Makes The W-Bodies More Powerful?

Exactly as the title states, I'm wondering why the W-Body cars have 12HP more with the 3400, is it all in the exhaust routing and size? or exhaust manifold design? or is it more?
