Also not just DST changes.
Just yesterday I returned from a trip in a timezone -2 hours from my local tomezone. My alarm went off 1 hour early this morning. We will see what happens tomorrow morning. I deleted all of my alarms and recreated them so hopefully they will be OK.
No it's pretty far from stock:)
Its supercharged (M90 off the L67), intercooler, camed, forged pistons, worked over rods, balanced, ported heads/intake, headers, custom exhaust, custom PCM, LS1 throttle body/MAF. That's about it for the big stuff.
To be fair I only ran a 12.x once last year (might have been a fluke, but I love being able to say it). My average last year was around 13.2. I'm looking to be in the 12s consistently this year.
You can check out my site @ www.lynoise.com. It has some info on most of my mods but its kinda out of date. I'll be updating it this season hopefully.
As for base model mods I'm not to familiar with the 3.4 but I know there is a turbo kit for it. Check out www.clubgp.com there is an Impala section in their forums. Also check out www.naioa.com.
Meanwhile cars haven't really gotten any faster. The big block muscle cars of yore ran 12 second quarter mile times off the showroom floor.
I have to disagree. I think this is my first post here but this is a topic I know a lot about. I race my car weekly legally at a 1/4 mile track. I have always been under the hood of a car since I could more or less walk to the garage with my father.
Now to the disagreement.

Now look at the 12 second and faster.... not many cars pre-70 muscle cars there. 5 or 6 (not including the Barracuda and the Hemi Dart as they were limited production).
Don't get me wrong I LOVE classic muscle cars. I am regularly seen in a '67 Chevelle w/ a slightly mod'd 350 small block. But my 2000 Impala w/ a 3.8 liter V6 can kill it in the 1/4 mile (12.8xx [last season]).
Also I want it know that I HATE rice. Actually as my license plate frame says : "I eat rice for breakfast":)

Forged pistons in your trans eh? Remind me not to ever ride in your car!
