1.chip-what ever brand you want.I like the Diablo delta chip
2.Lower pulley 5#
3.cold air kit.-I like r.e.m.s
And last but not leastNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZ.Yes 100shot is fine.Star w/50 get used to the truck.This combo in a Lightning is no joke...

well first off I would like to say welcome to the lightning community!!! Second, if u want to mod ur truck it sounds like u are thorwing around the idea of Nitrous but u also sound like u want a pully. Usually everyone just goes with a bigger pully or a real small pulley and nitrous... there are sum brave enough to run Nitrous and a large pully on a stock block( like me)
I wold say figure out who u want as a tuner :SAL,JL,JDM...... call them and talk with them and figure out exactly what u want to do with ur truck so they can lead u in the right direction. Also do sum searches on the board, there is alot of good info out there and if u ever need anymore help or have any more questions just ask!!!

If you plan to spray the truck,you will have to get a proper chip burned for it.Change to a colder plug.And in my opinion use a wet kit...

a nice built bottom end might be nice, especially if your runnin a 5#er and 100shot of nitrous, around 450+ stock 01+ Lightnings like to start kicking rods...damn pesky rods

Why have 1 kit when you can have 2.

Nitrous is Not for beginners.

Welcome to the board... Your look for too much power for a stock bottom end... Have plenty of extra money on hand....
