@BigKahuna13 : I'm curious, did you have any back to back comparison of the 4L60E vs 4L80E? I'm looking for documentation as to how much HP loss there is with the 80E. Which you liked better, what RPM your shift points were at. I discovered the 60E drops around 3000 RPM when shifting 1-2 at 5800, and an LT4 with GM Hotcam falls flat on it's face. Not as bad with the low rpm stock motor with less RPM drop and flatter torque curve. Is that why you ran the 80E?
i might get another cop car in the future and install a LS2 in it. Would like to get a LS7 but theyre too costly for me. I dont make money like those rich guys and the Wall Street guys.
These cars are always under appreciated but so awesome!! I want one someday, and this is coming from an avid Mustang guy! Nice Impala!!! Keep up the great work!
@LindseyFamilia That SS ran as fast as 10.80 at 126. It currently runs high 10's low 11's with a different setup. It now has a 396, no blower, just some nitrous. It's also now owned by Shane at Carolina Performance Transmissions in Greensboro, NC.
nice ss but why do cars lose so much horsepower from the flywheel to the ground thats a loss of 162hp would be crazy if you could put all 715hp to the ground
I just bought a 94 caprice ls, with the positraction rear end, upgraded suspension, 350, 5.7 vette engine. I have everything the ss has except the suspension, which I plan on getting though so it will handle better.
That damn thing is scary! I have a stock 94 Caprice 9C-1 and just got new Flowmasters on but plan on getting Tri-y headers and 3" exhaust. After that, wanna go with a LT-4 cam and have the stock heads ported and polished and port matched with the headers. Will go with another electric fuel pump (Walboro) and change the rear end gears--to 3.42 posi . I still want those top end jaunts on the highway like the big 70 Dodge Police Intercepter and 69 Chevy 9C-1 Police intercepter.
@BNforever2009 I had 3.73 gears for years, way way better than 3.42's. Don't waste your money on 3.42's. I got 20 mpg on the highway with 3.73's. It's one of the 'trust me you'll love it' mods you have to do. As a matter of fact after all these years I just changed to 4.10 gears in my 95 SS and it's even more fun than the 3.73's! BTW I still can do 130 on the highway so don't worry about the gears.
@BNforever2009 Yeah i would go with 3.73's, I have a 95 9C-1 with them and I dont have to shift into 4th until around 115 so u will have plenty of highway speed.
@BNforever2009 Honestly, the LT1 was cool back in the day but for the money you spend making this LT1 "faster" you might as well install an LS1 with some AFR heads or go Big Block like a 496/540
@k9forkids This video is from 2005. A lot has changed since then. I run a TB SS with a modded LS2, love the LSx engines, but don't ever diss on the LT1. Some people run LT1's to stay in the LTx classes. Agreed that the LSx blows the LTx away though. I currently run a 95 Impala SS with a 396 and its a beast, love that engine.
a heavy car like this pullin this much power? stray cats better look both ways b4 crossing the street or they're gonna be flying thru someone's kitchen window!
@XxMusclecarsxX yeah when i saw that i thought that something was wrong myself you should loss maybe 10 or 15 % through the powertrain and drivetrain but that seems exessive!
4l80 uses a lot of the same or similar hard parts as a th400. Both power robbing tranny's BUT that doesn't mean they don't work good. I garan-damn-tee that a car with a th400 at those high power level will run faster than a t56'd car at the track even though the t56 car will allow more power to get to the dyno. Not to mention th400/4l80e's are pretty tough tranny's to kill which is what you need with that kind of power. I wonder how much power the blower is eating at that power level. 60+hp?
@slicer119/ASCMustang88 its a 9c1 police interceptor basically an impala that was treated like a race horse to catch criminals then sold to the public after the mileage got too high
Well they do look a lot alike... The major difference is that the Impala has an LT1 (Corvette engine) and the caprice a 350. But the exterior look of the Impala and the Caprice are basicly the same...
@slicer119 than its not an impala its a caprice two different cars but look similar to each other but the impala is a more prestigious i mean dont get me wrong the caprice is a nice car but just the impala name alone is orgasmic but sadly they fucked up the once beautiful car the 2006 and up impalas are so damn ugly in my opinion from what they used to be
i got a 95 impala ss on the title it say police and on the dash it says caprice clasic so what is it is it a ss or caprice i check the vin and it was a reall ss from there but i dont no
I'll tell you what.

THOSE chevy IMPALA SS are the 1 an only reason that helps in saving you chevy guys, you guys better thank chevy for making them cause i would be all over your chevy asses!!!!!!
OK, the 94-96 Impala SS/Caprice LTZ *never* came with an LT4. Why would the Caprice Classic come with the Corvette Grand Sport engine, but the Impala SS come with the base Corvette mill?
Yeah, no LT4 in any Impala SS. BUT...a lot of guys with LT1's went out and got the heads/cam/intake to do an LT4 top end to get the extra 40 hp back then.
Also, I don't think they made the LTZ after 1993 since they made the SS starting in 1994. The LTZ was the "SS" version of a regular Caprice up to 1993.
PINKFLOYDFREAK55 GET OF DIS FUCKN VIDEO CUZ WE LIKE 2 KNOW WAT WE R TALKIN BOUT ON HERE!!! THE 94-96 caprice classic eitha came with a 4.3L v8 or the 5.7l lt1...wtf did u get that lt4 shit from??? go do ur homework n research
Hey PinkFloyd, the caprice NEVER came with the lt4, neither did the impala ss. What are talking about, you know nothing. The SS only came with the lt1.
believe it, it's real. Bill has had more impalas than the number of times most of you have gotten laid. don't be madd hatErZ yo.
For the other guy hating on the 4l80e...do you realize a th400 uses most of the same hard parts. Parasitic loss would probably be similar with either (i.e; A LOT) but that's the cost you pay for not blowing shit up every track outing.
Believe who? Me? I'm confused. Check my other vids, I have one with the dyno sheet posted too. Not sure why this vid gets all the hits, the other one is better.
that is the actual power that the motor is making...the 553 rear wheel horse power is the power touching the ground which is y he refers to the 4l80e transmission as power sapping cuz its a peice of shit electronic controlled shit ratio trans so hes loosing tons of power....should go to a 700r4 or turbo400 hed prolly free up 50horse or more to the ground
agreed the TH400 is a better tranny but the 700r4 would b a direct bolt up...the TH400 is not comp controled at all so it would require a lil bit more work that really wouldnt b worth it...put a strong valvebody in the 700r4 and ud do fine at the track and still have everyday driveability
LOL. I kept breaking 4L60E's and I drove it all over the country to races so I couldn't so a Turbo400. At the time I thought a 4L80E was the answer since it took a vicious pounding.
Im going to pick up my 94 SS next week,found one with low miles for a steal.... I only plan on driving it on the weekends!!! Cant wait!!! Im gonna keep the outside stock,but Im thinking about going Crate Motor and bigger trans!!!
hahaha hes got two cars... yea a civic and a neon... definitely worth bragging about i guess. hes jst one of the thousands of people drving an SRT-4 that thinks that their car is faster than god. dodge slapped a turbo on a neon. thats it. time for some real V-8 power, but these ricers have no idea what real power or torque is. i think you should have something worth bragging about if your gonna post something about this video.
put it this way... its a vtec.. thats all ima say... and my bad i was gunna recomment this apologizing about it cause i was reading wat everyone else was sayin... haha being a vtec owner fwhp just snaps in my head as front wheel hp know wat i mean. but ye i guess im a ricer.. but hey.. i got love for american muscle.. i always wanted to own a 96 impala ss but gas prices cut me from doing that.. so im stuck with a vtec and im about to restore a totaled Neon SRT for a senior project.
how much boost are you running on that vtec? i'd hope 18 or better. I'm a american muscle person but i have tuner friends if you wanna put some money up.
not knocking Honda's at all because they can achieve some nice hp numbers and are still gas friendly, but just remember real race cars lift the front wheels, not put power through them!
yes indeed... hondas can get some nice hp with the goods.... haha... but im still working on tuning it.. i bought it with the turbo on it... and i've been tweakin it since. i still gotta install my gauges cause idk how much boost i got. im thinking of taking out the b16 and put in a k20... but that would interfere with the srt4 thats in my driveway haha
The B Platform Impala SS had a 5.7 "LT1". The 6.0 I believe you're referring to is an "LS2" motor which could be found in Earlier C6 Corvettes, later Pontiac GTO (Holdens) and the SSR. 6.0 also could refer to GM truck motors such as a the Vortec 6000 but then you'd be completely way off track.
I'd watch the whole dumbass comments when you don't come correct with your own info. ;)
@blackdubsociety you need more hp for bigger heavier cars so a FR car that weighs 2600lbs would need maybe 300or 350 at the wheels to kick that cars ass.
im selling my 1996 chevrolet impala ss has 130000 im in nyc i want 5k or best offer its in fair condition runs good needs paint job and a tail light call me at 9175876864 im willin to meet a person in another state or watever my name is ray thanks
ok man you put that this thing has 715 FWHP (front wheel horsepower) WTF??? never in my life seen a impala front wheel drive and/or all wheel drive...
what are you fucking retarted bhp is how car manufacturers measure power as in brake horsepower as in how much reaches the brakes and as you can see he is measuring on a wheel dyno meaning it would be rwhp rear wheel horsepower he is being measured at the wheels in order to measure bhp or as you made up fwhp...the engine would have to be removed and ran on a life support system so do me a favor and know what your saying before you say it
actually moron the engine was bench tested on a stand by the builder - so yeah it was on 'life support' - it also went on the dyno as you can see - and anyone with half a brain knows just the rear wheels ONLY are cranking. But whatever. Just post up pics and vids of your car, I'm sure it's real badass and runs some sweet 16's at 80 mph. Rock out!
why dont you look in my profile lol i have 2 cars, and the with actual power adders weighs less and runs a lil less hp but i bet it'll take that impala
I just checked your profile. YOU HAVE A NEON! HAHAHAHAHA! That thing is disposable. Don't chicks drive Neons? And if you are going to talk big you better run in the 10's or faster. Bring cash or shut your mouth. BTW - YOU DRIVE A NEON! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I hate when 4 cylinder drivers think they can take a big block v8. I own a 96 Lt1 caprice and i've left rubber on many neon windshields, i jus wish they learn already. sweet ride !
Don't get the cars confused. I have/had 4 Impala SS's. That 96 blower car in THIS vid runs 11's and is in North Carolina with the owner of CPT. The 95 SS is NA and runs 12's, 11's on the spray. Sorry for the confusion.
@BigKahuna13 thats fuckin sad to see all that car and all it runs is 11's fuck i got a homey with a 4 door integra with a turbo running 12.2's on 10psi. and pump gas wit octane boost. and im not a honda fanboy.
no he is right, they are severely overrated in factory trim. they run like 15's stock. not very impressive. obviously this one is not stock, but you get the point. and a 9c1 caprice is the exact same as the impala, just cheaper.
they are overrated in stock trim but are completely badass with minor tuning and minor parts added. airflow parts do so much for this car and it is not a hard care to get into the 11 to 12 marker.
You claim a loss of around 25%, so 750RWHP through a very loose converter (these are drag specific builds) and a rearend that is commonly known to be significantly less efficient then yours (9" ford vs 8'5" GM) so I guess your earlier 25% statement makes sense then right? So that 750 RWHP has 1000 FWHP according to you?
I like how you fudge numbers to make your point. I said 23%, not 25%. That's a 25 HP difference. I also don't see any pics/links to your cars so as far as I am concerned I could care less. I have no interest or reason to doubt other peoples claims about their own cars. I guess since you are obsessing over this you really have nothing else going on. Another internet expert. Nice work.
Finally, I need you to say you don't agree a 4L60E sucks 20% from the flywheel to the rear wheels.
Something is wrong if you lost 160HP through a 4L80 and a 8.5" unless you have a 7K stall or something wild. Which according to how you drive the car all over, you do not. Something changed between the engine dyno, and the chassis dyno. Or one needs to be corrected.
For the record I am basing this off procharged th400/9" LS1 F-Bodies liek I am building now. It is very common to see low-mid 700RWHP from a maxed D1SC in those cars, and trust me they are NOT making close to 1000 flywheel HP! The 9" eats more then a 8.5" GM 10 bolt any day. For the record I have a 96 impala and am building a procharged 99 camaro and am on impalassforum as big bad black ss. Not just some bored guy talking chit.
A 4L80E is the same as a TH400 except it has overdrive. It's the biggest power sapping tranny we've ever seen. AND this has a big converter. AND it's been on an engine dyno before it went in the car. AND we've dyno'd many Impala's with 4L60E's and 4L80E's and seen 20-23% losses. AND Track times/HP calculators have all proven this out. What else ya got? Let's see some vids of your car? You have a lot of dyno experience with 4L60E's and 4L80E's? Post the links.
Yah FWHP? Is calculating all the HP loss necessary? Doubt its accurate anyways unless you had an engine dyno, which if you have 715 at the flywheel, and 550 to the wheels your loosing like 160 sumthing horsepower through your drivetrain which is pretty crappy. Most cars only loose about 50 or so. I'd say you probably have about 600 to 620 at the flywheel which is pretty darn good but 715 just sounds a little off to me...anyone else agree?
Most automatic 4L60E's lose 20%. The 4L80E is a bigger, heavier, power sapping auto. It can soak up to 25%. Proven fact, didn't make it up. Thanks for playing. And yes, I had the engine dyno'd on a stand before it went in the car N/A without the blower. Please post pics of all your 500-700HP cars that only lose 50hp through an auto tranny.
First off i'd like to say GOTDAYUM!!!!! got any video's of the other imp's getting dyno'd? i haven't found any yet. Hell of a nice car though. Now moving along to the troll.....
Maybe you'd like to post up a video of your car with atleast half that horsepower. It's sad when someone has to come along and hate on another persons accomplishments. Obviously if he's got it on the dyno, he could easily pull out some printouts of results and shut you down. Do you even own a fast car?
It's made by David Langness, and everyone refers to it as a Langness Spoiler. David makes them in urethane or carbon fiber, they are real nice but a bit pricey. Well worth it once you see it. You can reach him at David Langness AT cs dot com - he is good people.
When you buy a new car, and you walk into the dealership, and the new Z06 Vette has 505 HP on the fender, what do you think that is? Flywheel HP or rear wheel HP? It's flywheel HP. Flywheel HP has been around as a rating system since new cars started rolling out of the factories.
What PSI boost were you running? Did it have an intercooler?

Too bad, I wish they made a 60E with evenly spaced ratios...(does anyone?)
What us hot rodders really need is a 60E with FIVE speeds, and strong.. that would be the bomb.

OK, the 94-96 Impala SS/Caprice LTZ *never* came with an LT4. Why would the Caprice Classic come with the Corvette Grand Sport engine, but the Impala SS come with the base Corvette mill?
GenericUser19xx 2 years ago
Yeah, no LT4 in any Impala SS. BUT...a lot of guys with LT1's went out and got the heads/cam/intake to do an LT4 top end to get the extra 40 hp back then.
Also, I don't think they made the LTZ after 1993 since they made the SS starting in 1994. The LTZ was the "SS" version of a regular Caprice up to 1993.

Hey PinkFloyd, the caprice NEVER came with the lt4, neither did the impala ss. What are talking about, you know nothing. The SS only came with the lt1.

i have a couple of questions
1 is ss only lt1 or there is lt4
2 how could i know the difference from just looking?
dogmangg45 2 years ago
The 94-96's Caprice Classic's have the LT4
ALL 94-96 Impalas are SS models and have the LT1, there were no base Impalas for that generation.

believe it, it's real. Bill has had more impalas than the number of times most of you have gotten laid. don't be madd hatErZ yo.
For the other guy hating on the 4l80e...do you realize a th400 uses most of the same hard parts. Parasitic loss would probably be similar with either (i.e; A LOT) but that's the cost you pay for not blowing shit up every track outing.

At the flywheel means how much HP the engine is actually making at the crank/flywheel. Like the HP #'s you see cars advertised with for sale.
Then you have wheel hp which will show less # due to drive train loss

wat does fly wheel mean when they says "at tha fly wheel"?
drpe 3 years ago
that is the actual power that the motor is making...the 553 rear wheel horse power is the power touching the ground which is y he refers to the 4l80e transmission as power sapping cuz its a peice of shit electronic controlled shit ratio trans so hes loosing tons of power....should go to a 700r4 or turbo400 hed prolly free up 50horse or more to the ground

agreed the TH400 is a better tranny but the 700r4 would b a direct bolt up...the TH400 is not comp controled at all so it would require a lil bit more work that really wouldnt b worth it...put a strong valvebody in the 700r4 and ud do fine at the track and still have everyday driveability

LOL. I kept breaking 4L60E's and I drove it all over the country to races so I couldn't so a Turbo400. At the time I thought a 4L80E was the answer since it took a vicious pounding.

how much boost are you running on that vtec? i'd hope 18 or better. I'm a american muscle person but i have tuner friends if you wanna put some money up.
not knocking Honda's at all because they can achieve some nice hp numbers and are still gas friendly, but just remember real race cars lift the front wheels, not put power through them!

yes indeed... hondas can get some nice hp with the goods.... haha... but im still working on tuning it.. i bought it with the turbo on it... and i've been tweakin it since. i still gotta install my gauges cause idk how much boost i got. im thinking of taking out the b16 and put in a k20... but that would interfere with the srt4 thats in my driveway haha

The B Platform Impala SS had a 5.7 "LT1". The 6.0 I believe you're referring to is an "LS2" motor which could be found in Earlier C6 Corvettes, later Pontiac GTO (Holdens) and the SSR. 6.0 also could refer to GM truck motors such as a the Vortec 6000 but then you'd be completely way off track.
I'd watch the whole dumbass comments when you don't come correct with your own info. ;)

@blackdubsociety you need more hp for bigger heavier cars so a FR car that weighs 2600lbs would need maybe 300or 350 at the wheels to kick that cars ass.

fwhp = flywheel horsepower as in how the car makers advertise horsepower
BigKahuna13 3 years ago
what are you fucking retarted bhp is how car manufacturers measure power as in brake horsepower as in how much reaches the brakes and as you can see he is measuring on a wheel dyno meaning it would be rwhp rear wheel horsepower he is being measured at the wheels in order to measure bhp or as you made up fwhp...the engine would have to be removed and ran on a life support system so do me a favor and know what your saying before you say it
jxmann 3 years ago
actually moron the engine was bench tested on a stand by the builder - so yeah it was on 'life support' - it also went on the dyno as you can see - and anyone with half a brain knows just the rear wheels ONLY are cranking. But whatever. Just post up pics and vids of your car, I'm sure it's real badass and runs some sweet 16's at 80 mph. Rock out!

no he is right, they are severely overrated in factory trim. they run like 15's stock. not very impressive. obviously this one is not stock, but you get the point. and a 9c1 caprice is the exact same as the impala, just cheaper.

You claim a loss of around 25%, so 750RWHP through a very loose converter (these are drag specific builds) and a rearend that is commonly known to be significantly less efficient then yours (9" ford vs 8'5" GM) so I guess your earlier 25% statement makes sense then right? So that 750 RWHP has 1000 FWHP according to you?
dweezlep0p 3 years ago
I like how you fudge numbers to make your point. I said 23%, not 25%. That's a 25 HP difference. I also don't see any pics/links to your cars so as far as I am concerned I could care less. I have no interest or reason to doubt other peoples claims about their own cars. I guess since you are obsessing over this you really have nothing else going on. Another internet expert. Nice work.
Finally, I need you to say you don't agree a 4L60E sucks 20% from the flywheel to the rear wheels.
BigKahuna13 3 years ago
Something is wrong if you lost 160HP through a 4L80 and a 8.5" unless you have a 7K stall or something wild. Which according to how you drive the car all over, you do not. Something changed between the engine dyno, and the chassis dyno. Or one needs to be corrected.
dweezlep0p 3 years ago
For the record I am basing this off procharged th400/9" LS1 F-Bodies liek I am building now. It is very common to see low-mid 700RWHP from a maxed D1SC in those cars, and trust me they are NOT making close to 1000 flywheel HP! The 9" eats more then a 8.5" GM 10 bolt any day. For the record I have a 96 impala and am building a procharged 99 camaro and am on impalassforum as big bad black ss. Not just some bored guy talking chit.
dweezlep0p 3 years ago
work on your math - a 700 HP cars losing 20% through parasitic loss is 875 HP at the flywheel
BigKahuna13 3 years ago
That flywheel rating is WAY high. Even a TH400 with a loose converter and a 9" wouldnt eat up that kinda power!!!
dweezlep0p 3 years ago
A 4L80E is the same as a TH400 except it has overdrive. It's the biggest power sapping tranny we've ever seen. AND this has a big converter. AND it's been on an engine dyno before it went in the car. AND we've dyno'd many Impala's with 4L60E's and 4L80E's and seen 20-23% losses. AND Track times/HP calculators have all proven this out. What else ya got? Let's see some vids of your car? You have a lot of dyno experience with 4L60E's and 4L80E's? Post the links.
BigKahuna13 3 years ago
Yah FWHP? Is calculating all the HP loss necessary? Doubt its accurate anyways unless you had an engine dyno, which if you have 715 at the flywheel, and 550 to the wheels your loosing like 160 sumthing horsepower through your drivetrain which is pretty crappy. Most cars only loose about 50 or so. I'd say you probably have about 600 to 620 at the flywheel which is pretty darn good but 715 just sounds a little off to me...anyone else agree?
bassproguy07 3 years ago
Most automatic 4L60E's lose 20%. The 4L80E is a bigger, heavier, power sapping auto. It can soak up to 25%. Proven fact, didn't make it up. Thanks for playing. And yes, I had the engine dyno'd on a stand before it went in the car N/A without the blower. Please post pics of all your 500-700HP cars that only lose 50hp through an auto tranny.
BigKahuna13 3 years ago
First off i'd like to say GOTDAYUM!!!!! got any video's of the other imp's getting dyno'd? i haven't found any yet. Hell of a nice car though. Now moving along to the troll.....
Maybe you'd like to post up a video of your car with atleast half that horsepower. It's sad when someone has to come along and hate on another persons accomplishments. Obviously if he's got it on the dyno, he could easily pull out some printouts of results and shut you down. Do you even own a fast car?

When you buy a new car, and you walk into the dealership, and the new Z06 Vette has 505 HP on the fender, what do you think that is? Flywheel HP or rear wheel HP? It's flywheel HP. Flywheel HP has been around as a rating system since new cars started rolling out of the factories.
