    Fastlane Motorsports Tune

    I finally bit the bullet and got my truck tuned! I chose to go with Fastlane Motorsports out of Benson, NC and I couldn't be happier. As it stands now, I have an Airaid intake, Flowmaster cat back, 2lb lower, and Fastlane's custom tune through my SCT Xcal3. She put down 391hp and 461ft lbs. Here...

    Nice Tax Refund, Now What?

    I just got a refund for $2,800! Now I'm going into shock and don't know what to do with it. The truck's mods are listed in the sig, but has been running lean ever since I got it. The thought right now is to do the Competition R exhaust, 4lber, and a pro tune by a local tuner. What do you guys...

    Harley Davidson Motorcycle in the Bed?

    Has anyone tried to load a full size HD into the bed of the lightning? I have to move an 04 Road King about 600 miles one time. It weighs about 750lbs and is long enough that the rear tire would be on the open tailgate. I wasn't sure if the weight on the tailgate would harm it's hinge. The truck...

    Serious Spending Delima!

    I have some money that I can either put towards the purchase of a new Harley, or should I put it into making the truck faster? There are pros and cons to both decisions obviously, but either would be awesome!

    Not really sure what to do...

    I have read that extra boost and no tune are a deadly combo. I bought my truck a Aug 08 and haven't done anything to it. The boost gauge goes above the 10. I took it to the dyno and they said it was running too much timing, they fixed that by pulling out the old "Superchips" that was in it...

    Cross Country Trip!!!

    So, some friends and I are going to attempt a cross country trip this summer. We were talking about the "Gumball 3000" and just looked it up out of curiosity. After realizing that being involved with gumball would be far too expensive, we decided to make our own and we're jokingly calling it the...

    Dyno run today!

With the chip I made 398hp and 445tq. After the chip(the way I'm leaving it) it makes 378hp and 450tq. The guys at the shop...

    Tire advice...

    I want to keep the stock wheels, but is there a larger tire that will fit them than the 305/45/18 without being too big? Maybe post some links of the better tires out there for me? THanks
