Hello, my name is Jeff. Here is my 2004 Lightning.......
Mods are:
Engine: Dynatech LT headers, Magnaflow catback, JLP air intake, JLP Transmission VB, 60# injectors, Accufab TB, ASP +6 psi lower pulley, C&L upper intake and elbow, Metco idler pulleys, JLP intercooler reservior, Diablo Sport MAFia, Steigmeier stage 4 ported Eaton, Superchips SCT tuned chip.
Apperance: Reflexxions cowl hood, embroidered floormats, billet pedals, Autometer boost, A/F ratio, and Voltage meters, Eibach lowering kit, billet gas tank door, painted Ford emblems, cross drilled and slotted brake rotors, custom stereo.
Truck put down 435/505 to the rear wheels with these mods running about 16.5-17#'s boost. Best time to date was a 13.3@104.7 on my Toyo Proxes ST's. This was also before my ported SC and transmission VB. With sticky tires I guessing around between a 12.5-12.7? I am hoping to get some Trac-bars and DR's before summertime.
I have and will always consider myself a Chevy guy. I have owned 4 Camaros before my Lightning. These were a 84 Z28, 89 IROC-Z convertable, 97 RS, and a 98 Z28. Im hoping to get one of the new Camaros a year or two after they come out. I bought the Lightning since I wanted a truck, wanted it fast, and unfortunatly at the time, Chevy had nothing in comparison to the peformance of the Lightnings. I am a member of the National Lightning Owners Club (NLOC) and the Arizona Lightning Owners Club (AZLOC). I have had my truck for 2 years now and love it.

Welcome Jeff!!! You'll find a bunch of us are Loyal GM guys but don't have our heads too far up our *** to appreciate other brands and their trucks. That L's is beautiful, congrats, no shame in owning one of those at all!! Like chevracer83 said there's a few Nice L's on here too.
BTW check out the western section for a GTG a bunch of us are putting together in mid/late Feburary. Your more than welcome to come, we're hoping for quite a nice turn out of chevy trucks but all trucks are welcome! We plan on doing track time and if possible a little dyno time too!
check it out and try to come, again props on a beautiful truck!!
