Dammit!!!

Just read wyldman's post about his new headers and someone else's about their cal-tracs. My pocketbook just doesnt have the same heft as y'all I guess

Any other people (under 30) makin extensive mods to their beasts? I cant keep up :-P

 

WHAT?!!?? huh??!! who?!?!.... Not me!!!

Ohhhh.... You meant DARN IT!!!!

 

Nathan,

When you get old like me, everything sags, some things more than others. The only real advantage to this is that, in most cases, the pocket that the wallet rides in gets a little deeper, and has more room for green stuff. The real trick is getting the green stuff and holding on to it for a while. This is easier said than done....

And BTW, the Bassani headers RULE!

Hey, i'm 20, but as soon as my "screamin silver" flash gets here, chip/filter combo and 150 hp shot of nitrous right off the bat, plus Roush sport suspension before i pick it up, and lastly Cal-trac if i can find 'em.

------------------
2000 Silver Lightning on order
150hp shot (soon)
chip and filter (soon)
roush sport suspension (soon)

 

I'm going to mod mine, but unlike the old fat cats, I'm on a budget.
This year: Intake, Chip, Thunder form, and slicks.
Next year: Rousch Lower Kit, Nitrous (already have), maybe Ram Air hood and/or Headers.

 

i dont think a 150hp shot of nitrous is safe for a new lightning.....learn more about nitrous before u decide use it.

I agree with LoCoX on that you may want to wein your L like dad is he is only running a 80 HP shot but has the option for 150 HP shot. I think you should really consider doing that sence it is a new moter.

just my two cents...

I get the name Lightning Boy is because when we went to Ennis For the SVT thing I bought a SVT F-150 LIGHTNING jacket and sence it has gotten cold down here I have started to use it and between talking about the truck to my friends and useing the jacket I get the name Lightning Boy.

 

Uhh, yes, I'd like your 69 cent Chicken Mcnugget special please?

It's all about priorities man, priorities . . .
