hey 00blacktrailwagon, by any chance did you get your truck at a police auction? I seen your truck running around a few times. There is one exactly like yours in Othello except his has 22s. It belongs to Jorge. I am sure you have seen it. Joejoe built it up.

Ultimategixxer is from Yakima. He works at trailwagon and knows quite a bit about your trailwagon edition pickup.

Hey I8AHEMI yes that is my truck. I got it about a month and half ago from a friend. I want to make this thing faster but i dont know where to start. I ordered a shift kit and the corvette servo but i have no idea how to install it. I also have a 93 Lightning which is red and has silver racing stripes and i did the shift kit on that one but i dont like to mess with these newer trucks because of all the electronics. Anyway i will try to start a get together. I want to make it up to Bremerton one more time this year so if anybody is intrested i will post the day. I can get the Lightning owners from up to come also and we can race Chevy against Fords.

Hey JOEJOE i know that your truck is very fast and i am wondering if you could give me some pointers on how to make this thing faster. All of my mods are in the my signature, let me know what you think?

Hey what do you got for traction bars? Get your tranny built up and then you should be moving quicker and able to put more power to it without it taking a **** on ya. joejoe has the shift kit and servo but he also has a 3500 stall. Other than that you aint too far off.

Get some electric fans and a 10lb pulley and you will see some difference too.

Do you run at the track with the 20s? I have never been to Bremerton, we run in Spokane or Yakima.

No, mine is a white rcsb with a white canopy, black fenders and siver/red stripes on the side (I know everyone hates stripes, but I like them). Here is a pic.

If the black truck you saw is a Silvy SS, it probably belongs to my boss's boss, who also owns a Corvette (I think a C6). I almost had him talked into adding a Radix to his SS, even let him drive mine, but, as he put it, if he souped up his truck, he'd just have a fast truck, so he bought a new 'vette instead.

Hey I8AHEMI i have not gone under the truck to see what kind of traction bars they are. Being that the truck is so low i cant get under it. I know for sure that it has the original exhaust except for the headers. I also think that i will be needing a rebuild on my tranny, when i floor it all the way it hits the limiter only on first gear. I talked to a tranny guy and he told me to add the servo and the shift kit and that it would fix the problem. I hope that he is right. I run the truck with 26inch MT/ET streets and i do keep the 20's up front. I have been to Bremerton like 4 times. It is a good track and is sea level. The tiem i have gone up there my lightning usually runs 3-4tenths faster that the track in Yakima. Plus i like to go up there because there are alot of lightning owners. Anyway i wll keep you guys posted on my tranny. Hey does anybody know a good tranny guy near here?

I ran about 4-5 tenths faster in Spokane than Yakima. Spokane has a good track out at airway heights. You dont have to go into Spokane at all, its like 2 exits before hitting all the traffic.
