Rocking the LT1, Beast mode. I love it!!

[@bobfalfa76]

I knew a guy back in the day with an EFI 383 in a 96, he had a 2inch strip added to the factory wheels,ice cold a/c, total sleeper. Ran 10.40's on a 150 shot, back in 99 that was quite a feat for a heavy street car.

[@DailydrivenTransAm]

you have the best intro in the game.

[@stokerboiler]

My LT1 was a POS. Ditched it and went LS2. Now...fear the deer.

[@VegasRT500]

Yep LT1 were very low powered.

[@BornToBeFamed]

ToxicTommy only the opti. They came with 10:4:1 compression stock and went up every year . The weak point was the heads 215 58cc. they need atleast 600lift cam, Easy to make power out of a lt1 . Ls is better because stock with cam only , because they have way better heads and way better flowing intake.c just simple upgrades .i love both lt and ls. But its hard to beat cheap ass ls power for the street. But if im truelly racing im staying gen 1 sbc or bbc

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

Where did you get your Ls2? Considering the LQ4 swap

How hard was the swap

[@about2088]

Absolutely sick! Love the old Impalas

[@OdySlim]

Great video, thank you. Your car looks and sounds just great. I have 2 of the Caprice B4U models. One of them has a Scat forged rotator, rods & pistons, Trick flow heads and a Pro Flow intake. Oh a really nice beefy cam. The engine and suspension rebuild has taken quite some time but was really worth it. The engine dyno'd at 472 hp and the crank and 410 rw hp with a 373 posi. The car is in dire need of a re-paint and minor interior. Oh, I put in an 85 Z28 dash board too. The SS's and the B4U's are just awesome cars I plan to keep mine for a long time. BTW, I too have been through a few opti's but ended that problem with the Torqhead 24x conversion hit and the Holley HP ECU. it has made a tremendous change in the way the car runs and it tunes itself once it has been set up on the dyno. Best money I have spent on the car. Good luck with yours, I really like it. Mine will remain a faded black sleeper.

[@e-dubpaintball9108]

you have a new subscriber. Had a great time watching this video makes me want to hang out with you guys talk cars.

[@number1pappy]

Years ago I had a 11 second Camaro and I was spanked by an ss like this one!...it was very humbling!..to this day i never found out what he had under the hood but it was ridiculously fast for as big of a car it was!!..lol!!

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

+Retired at 49 I remember a little after when they first came out. Around 1998. I saw a guy stomp the hell outta one. Meaning the gas pedal. The car peeled out somethin wicked. I couldn't believe how quick it raised up off a dime. I was a fan after I saw that. Back then I was about 18 so I didn't know what that car was I knew it resembled the Caprice. My guy told me It was an SS. Alot of hype around that car when it came out & it lived up to it.

[@turbojack6]

I love those old SS's and they are hard to find. It looks good and runs damn good. Keep them great videos coming.

[@YayoSosa_187]

My favorite car in the world can't wait to buy one of my own but I like the 95... Nice Engine too 👍👍

[@demarques1911]

383 stroker is a engine with the best of both worlds from a 350 and a 400... torque and high rpm capabilities... remember the 3.75 stroke is the same stroke inside the high rpm 427 bbc.... i have a 388 and we make ...535 horsepower and 522 ft of torque ALL under 6000 rpm... dont sleep on a small chevy

[@sambarnes842]

Love to own that Impala

[@MaRCoS-pl7ht]

We had a black 96 Impala SS too, all original. That fucker spun the tires so much for being a land yatch 😂😂😂 we sold /traded it for a 72 Nova plus $3000

I'm jealous his garage so clean

[@bobhenry9662]

My 96 Caprice does 12's on a 50 shot of NOS. 410 HP at the rear wheels.

[@thagreen72]

i remember some brother’s owned some f-bodies and an impala ss and lt one vette called bottle fed in Shreveport back in the late 90’s early 200’s. all were fast but it was amazing to see that big ss run 12s with a baby seat in the back.

[@stproductions99]

Nice SS, I HAD A 95, same color with little mods on it. These cars are great and so BEAUTIFUL. Good video.

[@Zircee]

AHH a trip down memory lane. Back in the day late 90's Doraville Ga PD ( Atl Ga) had the Impalla SS as there interceptor car that was prepped By Lamar Walden (

[@josephlee2512]

I have always loved the ss. Wish i had the money to buy one and just daily driver the shot out of it

[@josephlee2512]

Mr SS maybe over there but here in ark. the good running ones still run 8 to 10k. And plus that i dont have the 5k to go get one lol. The SS family is my favs in them year models

[@6gendj584]

Mr SS bought my last ss for that price bought 5 yrs ago ,it was a 94 but was in very good shape.. wanted the 96 but couldn't beat the deal on the 94...the ride was nice.... and plenty of room for tall people.

I just subbed because of this video

[@harryguy76]

Oh wow still rockin the old LT1 boat anchor lol...this was the pinnacle of performance out of GM back in my teen days unfortunately...not much to wish for till the LS hit the scene in the late 90ies.I loved this car as I was a big fan of the Caprice body style..sure the SS Impala was a boat but there wasn't much else back then other the Carmaros, Mustangs and Firebirds...unless you went FWD supercharged 3.8 v6...man the 90ies sucked for GM lmao... I can remember going to a car show and sitting in a 96 I believe Buick Road master when it first came out and thinking it was bad ass cause it was similar to the Caprice and had the almost Corvette LT1 in it LOL....sad times....my generation grew up with the worst cars ever.

[@ericseaman9929]

harry guy - I also have a 94 Caprice wagon lowered on staggered 18's. That's the daily driver. Lol. LT1 power

[@harryguy76]

They were cool looking too...did it come with the LT1 or did you swap out the tiny 263ci v8 i believe that came in many of the Caprice. Or were all station wagons equipped with the LT1 due to their massive size lol..bet it cruises down the highway like a Cadillac...like driving your couch around.

[@ericseaman9929]

Lol, On the fourth one. The factory Opti lasted the longest. I can change the opti faster than the oil.

[@Texas_Cruiser]

Eric Seaman what's the deal with the opti on these cars? I'm considering getting one and that's all I see on KZbin is the horror stories...is it that bad? Anything for a better one or preventative measures that can be taken? Eric if you're seeing this that's one sweet ride! Julian from Austin, Texas.

[@CalletaMoth]

@@Texas_Cruiser I have yet to run into any issues with my opti. Still the same one she came with when bought in 2004. They have a tendency to get moisture in them, same as the AIR pump I believe. And like they said in the video, being behind the water pump is kinda shoddy placement. I've heard my fair share of horror stories on these as well. I count my blessings mine hasn't needed replacement yet.

[@Texas_Cruiser]

Jennifer May I'm reading that getting a new water pump and having it installed properly will help prevent leaks which in turn will keep the optispark in running order. But then again Eric here is on his 4th or 5th which makes it seem that it's not just a one and done.
