    That is a point I forgot to make. Until recently there weren't many options for headers for the N/A, so we had to use the L67 headers. That still raises the question, going to those headers limits you options down the road. The primaries are too small for a top swap, and you can't add a turbo.

    The reason I posted above is why I left CGP a long time ago. Everyone assumes what works for a L67 works for the L36. The Impala LS (L36) is a lot more common than the Impala SS (L67), so we have a ton of experience with it that the GTP members never seemed to understand. Didn't mean to come off on you like that, just bad memories.

    ok I think Ill go with a 2.5DP and Plog. just to clarify, the powerlog is specifically made for n/a to increase power without loss of torque right? there are dynos on zzp but I dont know if its on a l67 or l36.

    Any other ideas to get me off the line a little quicker? I beat out a civic the other day. Off the line the guy smoked me, but within a couple hundred feet or so I pulled ahead. by the next light I could hardly see him in the rear view! all this and my car is still stock with a clogged up paper filter!

    Btw sabrewing, the engine in my car is an out of an '02 impala ; )
