Hey all, I've recently purchased a 01 lightning with just over 75k miles. Truck is in real good shape just needs the usual restoration done. I have been reading over the forums for a few days now and I figured id just ask about my specific situation to see if I could get some help.
My lightning is my daily to supplement my 17 mustang for those rainy days. I just want it to be a little more than it currently is while not going too aggressive where I wouldn't want to daily it. I am still pretty new to my truck so any input is appreciated.
Currently my plan is as follows (as far as performance not restoration)
SCT-2600 MAM
NGK 1 cooler plugs
JLT CAI
65mm TB
Valve Body (punisher I guess is THE way for lightnings?)
4# pulley swap (there seems to be a never ending debate over 4/6 on a DD)
Get the SC Ported
Redo the entire exhaust with LT headers, off road mid, and muffler set up I am just not sold on one vs the other at the moment
This is what I'm thinking for now (that's not like suspension ect) to make it a little bit more of a powerhouse but keeping in mind that its still a DD. I am very open to suggestions and everything. Budget is not a huge concern but it is my #2 vic not my #1 so going wild with the build is not really something I'm interested in doing.
Looking forward to the assistance you all can provide me in making this thing a fun little daily. Thanks in advance.
