I'm already at 420/536 to the wheels. I feel like doing more stuff to the truck, even though I swore I would never after the header install. I'm thinking about getting the blower ported, maybe a better heat exchanger. The truck is a daily driver (sold my 94 and 03 cobra).
Thanks

I have a case of 0w-30 amsoil that was meant for my 03 cobra. I traded in the cobra for the lightning. And I can get amsoil for about 5 bucks a quart. I'm running 0w-20 mobil 1 right now with no problems.
thanks

I went to Johnny Lightning Performance. I have to say he is one of the nicest person you will ever meet, along with his wife. And his staff is great also.
My best was a 419.6 rwhp and 535.9 rwt with the mods in my sig.
The first run the truck was breaking up, I couldn't tell driving it...
I put on the dynatech longtubes. Great quality header, the best I've seen so far. Their instructions suck. These things are a bitch to put on. The drivers side wasn't that bad, but the passenger side was damn near impossible. I would recommend doing this in a shop or pay someone to do it...
I have the autometer boost guage. It will be my only guage outside the dash. So I need a one guage mount thingy. just where to put it and where to buy it.

I just installed the accufab TB, motoblue 95mm mass air system, and the C&L elbow.
When I hit the gas full throttle, the only thing i could hear was the whine from the supercharger. It was about 3 times louder than stock. It has to be the most evil sound a car can make.
As for...
I have the special tool and the torque converter lock up tool also. How the hell does everyone break the torque on the pulley loose? I thought I was bench pressing the truck, I swear the tires came off the ground a few times as I tried to bust it loose.
Do I need a lift?
Thanks

I traded in my 03 cobra for the 04 DSG lightning. I couldn't see spending $1200 a year on insurance for a car that sat in the garage. And my 03 had the head tick, the stall, rear end clunk, the vibe, and I couldn't stand the how the car shifted at cruising speeds, real clunky. Loved the speed...
We went from a 45 mph roll and I told to hit and then I would go. He gets the jump due to him going first, and in 2nd I pull up next to him. Then I hear him hit the rev limiter, so I granny shift into third trying to make it a good race, engine for engine, I don't want driver error to be the...
My factory belt sounded like a bird under the hood when it was cold. So I took it in and they changed the belt under warranty. Now I make no where near the psi I made before. And for the first time the belt smells like burnt rubber and skunk.
Heres what is on the belt

I took out my diablosport chip and my car hasn't stalled in 5 days, which it usually does everyday. My car had a previous re-flash and the chip was re-burnt for it, but it still had the stall. Can this be possible?

I pulled it in the garage and felt a pretty good vibration in between 1200 and 1500 rpms. So I just rev it up to 1500 rpms and sure enough the car was vibrating. The car was out of gear and the clutch was not depressed. I was just sitting there. It's a low frequency. After 1500 rpms it runs...
The local SVT dealer here in town (which are complete jackasses), told me they have a shuttle service. I told them I get "SVT premium service" so I got put on hold and she came back to tell me they would get me a car from enterprise car rental. I thought I was supposed to get a nice car, not a...
First thing is the stock clutch quadrant sucks.
