well after having the truck for a few weeks ive been trying to stay away from the Mod Bug. But i figured hey what the hell i can do a few things and not hurt the truck one bit so this is what im thinking..

Cai
Diablosport chip ( or something like that)
Bassani exhaust
lowering springs or shackles? ( never lowered a truck)
pulley upgrade. (not sure what size though feel free to advise)
traction bars?? some say yes some say no..
street slicks
billet grille

anything im missin? i figured that should come out around a grand then ill call it quits

I'll tell you like what I was told just a couple months ago...True cold air kit, 4lb lower, and a tune right off the bat! Then to really hit gears, go with a Factory Tech Valve Body; Last but not least, Silver Bullit catback is the loud way to go.
Hope that helps a bit

yea you can go with a Factory Tech Valve Body, but when you have a problem with it your going to be stuck just lik all the others that have had problems and could not reach the manufacturer... you can go with a JLP/Level 10 Valve Body that i have in my truck and if you ever had a problem you can always get in touch with Level 10 transmissions..
just my .02cents

the Silver Bullit exhaust is sick i have that too, it is one of the best free flowing systems your going to find and its light weight its not a heavy setup.. sounds sick and the tips fill up the exhaust cut out with the huge tips that JDM uses..
good luck with your choice..

 

Cool-Aid (cold air induction kit)

Pulleys - Pulley kits - etc.

Exhaust

Xcalibrator - SCT

FactoryTech Valve Body

Give us a call and Tim and I can help you figure out what the best bang for your buck mods would be.

Thanks, Andy 704-521-4923

 

Those mods sound OK, but not going to get all that for $1,000.
I ran a PSP filter
Accufab TB
Factory Tech VB
4# lower
Predator Tuner with JLP tune
Magnaflow Catback
and was very pleased. Truck sounded great and was very quick.
Just my .02

 

Don't forget the plugs. I am running NGK TR-6's. They miss a tiny little bit at idle, but they work great for performance.

 

Before you post, you need to get your facts straight!
If anyone ever had a problem or even thought they had a problem with the FactoryTech valve body, We always replace the valve body or watever it takes to make our customers happy!
My 2 cent!

slow down there speedy before you hit a wall... i got the facts straight.. i never mentioned chikenears... i said Factory Tech.. there have been many posts where customers that have tried getting in touch with factory tech and had no luck, like i said poor customer service.. im sure you do take care of your customers when they have a problem, you are not the the only factory tech dealer.. dont take what i wrote personal, i made a suggestion to a guy who wants to start to mod his truck lets not turn this thread upside down on the guy..

 

When you're trashing FactoryTech you are trashing us. We are the biggest supplier of FactoryTech valve bodies. It's hard not to take that personally.
I don't know who these other people bought thier valve bodies from, but if he buys it from us, it is guaranteed.

Thanks, Andy@Chickenears

 

thats all well and fine but i am not trashing either of you.. i was simply helping a fellow lightning brother out..

 

Ok, Sorry twizzler for getting your thread off topic. I'm done.

Andy
