As GM 3.6 specialists, we offer the best tuning and unique products for your 3.6 motor. Our suggested modpath for the 2012-16 W-Body Impala platform is as follows:
- Overkill Tuning - Provides the biggest bang for your buck, particularly for flex fuel vehicles with our E85 tuning, and new modifications are supported as you add them so it's not a one and done tuning deal.
- Modify Air Filter Housing - You can do an aftermarket intake system, but try modifying your air filter housing to let more air in from behind the headlight area to gain the majority of the gains versus a K&N system, a free mod if you're handy
- Ported Intake Manifold, Intake system with 80mm Throttle Body - Sold as a kit, because everything works together. Larger throttle body and a replacing the small factory MAF housing with larger diameter components, and porting the intake manifold with matching to the larger throttle body all combine for better throttle response and upper rpm power. Tuning is required so do this after Overkill tuning.
- JacFab Intake Manifold Spacer - We didn't sell enough of these to keep them in stock but contact JacFab directly to see if the 2012+ Impala specific JacFab spacer is available.
- More minor mods - Exhaust work is small gains on the 3.6, you can install the mufflers you like and gain more sound than horsepower, but focus on the Y pipe section near the catalytic converters for the best gains.
- Final Drive Ratio - Not an easy swap but look at swapping the 2.77 final drive ratio to a 3.16 ratio offered in other 6T70 transmissions during a rebuild
We are pleased to be a premier tuner for the 3.6 Direct Injection V6, codename "LFX", found in your 2012 and newer W-Body Impala.
