Question whats it gonna be?

Will I be able to install cold air intake, 4" pully and chip from PSP with out the truck having to be dyno tuned. Will this combo work real good straight off.
With the above, what power gains should I expect and are there other mods that should be carried out also, such as upgrading the plugs ?
All the mods will be on an `03 which is sitting at the docks right now in Southampton UK. Import duty and Tax to pay and shes all mine. Should be cleared for the end of the week. Looking forward to the 200 mile drive home.
Thanks for all info.

Thats a basic combination so no dyno tuning is necessary...it will work great.....you can expect about 40 to 50 hp out of that combo....as far as changing to a colder plug, I would do it...Id put in a nice set of Denso IT-20s.....but again if this was me I would of started with a 6# lower.......

If it was me, i would personally use the NGK BR7EF plugs when you get her home. Better to be safe then sorry, esp with your octane levels out there. Goodluck and enjoy

I agree no Dyno needed and MAJOR performance and HP Gain.
You can expect 12 sec runs on a cool day
I ran my first 12 with a simple filter-chip-n-4lb pulley on F-1's
12.8 @106.4 MPH 1.90 60ft

Good luck with the New Lightning
AND WELCOME DEAN

BTW
I prefer Denso IT-22's
They work so great for me, that I keep a spare set at all times

I agree that a colder plug is a must, especially if your planning on getting the most out of your mods. The stock plugs won't last long if you run hard at all.

That's a good combo to start with.
