Swarzkopf Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 What's up everyone, new member, long time gearhead here from the Pittsburgh, PA area. Was hanging out with a couple of forum members (Chris D and Mike F) yesterday and they told me to sign up. Looks like a nice site you've all got here. I've had a couple of Wbodies over the years - 2000 Regal GS (still have), 2012 Impala LT (still have), 2003 Monte SS (sold). I've had a bunch of Mustangs too (don't hold that against me!) and currently have a 2005 Mustang that goes mid-11s. My Regal has typical L67 bolt-ons (runs high 13s at 100-101) and my Impala is physically stock with an HPT tune from me on it. I'm OK at mechanical stuff and pretty good with tuning. Hope to contribute where I can here and hang out with some cool fellow gearheads. -Shawn Quote
9lumina6 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Welcome. How much did that 3.6 DOHC wake up with that tune? Over the last few months I've rented quite a few 2012-2013 Impalas and am fairly impressed with the power. Quote
Swarzkopf Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 A ton - mainly in the low and mid range. Off idle torque was dramatically improved. It was very restricted from the factory via conservative DBW tables and torque management. It runs neck and neck with my Regal, with maybe a little more top end pull. I'd expect it to go high 13s.

Obviously I've only ever ad a chance to drive an untouched one, but still was impressed with the top end power. I can imagine with a little tweeking like you've done it makes it even more fun. Quote
White93z34 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Welcome to the forum, Shawn. Was a good time Saturday I like to think I learned a thing or 2. We'll see how that applies when I get around to scanning the Bonneville Quote
Euro Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Welcome man. I think I recognized you from cgp. Any pics of the rides? Quote
Swarzkopf Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks for the welcome guys. Chris, if you want to get together and work on the Bonnie's tune let me know. We'll get it squared away. Matt, yep, I've been on ClubGP for a few years. I hate that forum. LOL As requested, here's a few pictures of some of my cars: '05 Mustang, Paxton supercharged: '00 Regal GS, typical L67 bolt-ons: '12 Impala, tuned, pic is from dealership obviously: '03 Monte SS, blow L36, trapped 111 but couldn't hook, now sold Old '95 Mustang, went high 12s, sold long ago Quote
Euro Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Nice! I recognize the Mustang and Regal. All look super clean Quote
