Hey All:

Just picked up a silver 2000 Lightning as my new daily driver! :D

It's got 38k miles on it, and this guy around the corner from my office has owned it since new. After about a year of nagging him, I finally got him to sell. It's got all the basic mods plus a 90mm MAF, JDM chip, single blade TB, 2500 stall converter, shift kit, 3.73 rear from a 2001 and up Lightning, lowered all around, polished wheels, JDM chip and ecm mods, JDM stainless exhaust and headers w/ x pipe, all the basic I/C and cooling mods, pulleys, etc. Also has the hard bed cover painted to match, polished wheels and a billet grill.

It's immaculate and it sounds better than my father's 70 Chevelle SS ;), but still not as cool as my WE4. The aftermarket seems pretty strong for these, but it looksl like I have a lot to learn. At least parts are easy to find.

Anyway, wish me luck! Anybody know of a forum or message board where they discuss SVT Lightnings?

Rich:D
 
Love those trucks man. A buddy of mine that I race with has one, just dyno'd it at 500 hp! Now, getting that to the ground is a different story, but it is fast.
 
Thanks for the info guys - I will definitely check out those forums!

P.S. boy, parts for those Lightnings are not cheap, even though the aftermarket is larger. The ECM/Chip mods are very expensive, especially since I'm used to paying $50 bucks per chip for my WE4.
