[QUOTE="Mattstang04, post: 13714444, member: 157575"] Hi everybody. Like your forum. My father has recently bought a 02 Lightning and it appears to be mostly stock except for a 2" drop (front and back) and the borla catback (with Flowmaster tips). It has about 93xxx miles on it. I drive it about as much as he does and love the thing the way it is. He wants to do a little modding though, so I told him I would help him out as much as I can. We have both studied the FAQ section and have already installed an oil separator. We are getting together the parts for a Dirty Dog Performance shift kit with a Ford 4x4 pan. Hopefully we will put that together by the end of the month. My question is, what kind of power can be gained by doing bolt ons without changing the pulleys? Is there any benefit to doing a throttle body, plenum, and maybe a mid pipe? What about giving the blower the full Stege treatment without changing the pulleys? What can be done without dyno tuning? Dyno will eventually happen but I would like to wait to do until it is really necessary. In talking it over, his goal for the truck would be mid to low 12s in the quarter with really nice street manners. I want to keep the Lightning on the safe side but get it to where he wants performance wise. Don't want to make the mistake of going 1 mod too far, then having to worry about the lifespan of the engine. Let me know what you think. Thanks :beer: [/QUOTE]
