almost a new lightning owner

hello all. I am a current owner of an 05 silversado "rst" edition. I've done alot of performance mods. dyno tune, cam, hardend pushrods, z06 springs, 3200 stall, 3:73 gears and a 175 wet shot(just to name a few) I word for a local ford dealership and am in the works on trading my truck for an 02 lightning. I thought I would check this site out and gain some info. Hope to gain some knowledge and share some with you.

Depends upon where you are located...check out www.lightningrodder.com for some guys that are in your area to see who they use to tune their trucks. Word of mouth is best for this. I know most of us get tuned on the dyno instead of using a canned tune...of course after you do your initial dyno run & tune, your tuner can tweek your tune and send you updates via email.

What is already done to this 02 and what are your plans?
