      TT LSX 59 Impala nearly complete...finally

      Finally nearing completion, few bugs to be worked out, and a couple pieces of trim to be installed, but after a years worth of work, it's almost done.
      Before/after:




      Bigger pics http://www.ls1speed.com/59/finished.cfm

      Hope to take better pics in the next few days here. Baseline Dyno numbers on 93 octane netted over 640RWHP.

      Big thanks to my crew here at Speed Inc. and everyone else involved.

      Awesome! I love the unassuming stockish look of the interior.

      I was just telling my wife, after the Camaro is done, we need a bigger car to play with, and have more room for trips.

      Something like this.

      Well, I was happy with 640's on 93 octane to the wheels. If we put in C16 and cranked up the boost to 20-23, I would expect about another 150 to the wheels.

      I sold my LS1 69 Camaro because I wanted more room to cruise with the wife and 2 kids, so I doubt I will ever run anything higher than a 93 most of the time.

      Thanks for the compliments fellas!

      Thanks! When I got the car it had 60 Impala seat covers with custom tuck and roll style door panels and package tray. I put everything back to factory correct with the exception of the custom gauges we had made with our logo. We also made a new glove box to house the boost controller and air ride controller. From a glance, it appears totally stock, I have always preferred that look.

      That is VERY cool Tom. I may have to pic your brain a little about some details 'cause I'll be doing my '61 Impala sometime soon I hope. Tons of info out there for first gen Camaro's but not much on these. I may have to come out and take a peek since I'm local.
