A chip and filter would be the best for a first mod. JDM, JL, PSP, Swanson, Superchips have been the most I hear on this site. I believe it's a toss up between JDM and JL for the best chips, but I couldn't tell you as they don't make one for my truck, yet! Also check the SVTperformance.com. Damn good site. There is a link in my sig. Congrads on buying the Lightning.

I UNDERSTAND WE WERE ALL EXCITED, when we got our trucks Time to get a grip, hehe. I agree with the above, chip N filter. Here's the PSP site, has those things and a lower pulley, elec fan, By an L owner, for L owners, i like that, but its another resource for you.

You didn't say what year your truck was, but since its new I assume its an '01. The others are right, chip 'n filter give you the most bang for your buck, but I don't think there are any chips available for the '01s yet. Next mod should be a crank pulley, if JDM ever ships the darn things. Those mods should cost you under $800, and if you have an '01 it should be close to a 12 second truck. And if it is an '01 I find it hard to believe it is slower than your SS. R&T says an SS does the 1/4 in 13.9, and your truck, stock, should be good for 13.6. However, sitting as high as you do in the truck makes your perception of speed much slower than in a low slung car. At first I found myself constantly underestimating my speed by 20 mph. With the few mods I have in my truck now I have no trouble with a stock LS1, and when I get my TB and pulley in I am looking at 12s. Try this in any other vehicle that can tow a 6500 lb. boat.

he has a black 2000 lightning, his SS was a 98 6 spd camaro.. : ) i figured he would take forever to see this, so i answered for him, hehe

 

Welcome -- another convert --- I have been driving Chevys for 35 years, still have a 97 Camaro Convertible Lt-1, 6-speed, but Sixpipes and Flatsman finally got me to see the light --- the L rocks!!!

This is a great group of guys, and the information provided is most helpful -- chipnfilter going in next week!!!

 

First thing you should change is your name. Then put in a JDM or a JL chip.

 

sorry about the caps it is a 2000 black it has 1400 miles on it all stock no tonneau cover anybody know the part # for the stock 1 also what is the best chip & intake for the money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
