While the early (pre 17) C7 Z06s were prone to going into limp mode after extended abuse, people blow it way out of proportion. Most "failures" - going into limp mode - occur on days where its >90 degrees out, and usually on later sessions in the day. Main issue was high IATs pulling timing...

Had some nice weather along with a little free time, so I deciced to get my car all washed/waxed and lookin good for summer. Shes an 01 with full exhaust and a cam. Makes 420/390.

NEW PRICE $10000 Decided to sell my Lightning. Its a great truck. Runs like a champ! I have owned the truck since 11/07 and it has been my baby since. I wish I didnt have to sell her, but the money is needed for my new toy. The truck currently has 116300 miles on it. Dont let the...

funny, but true. a columnist take on the new 2011 shelby gt500 - LS1TECH Got a little laugh out of this.

Does anyone know if it is legal to drive passengers in the bed of a pick up truck? I cant seem to find a solid answer for this. I also live in Illinois if that matters. Thank you.

I picked up a set of 28x11.5 ET Streets for the Lightning and decided to do some burnouts and see how they work on the street. Just having a little fun on a nice day. And my favorite, wrinkling the tires on the street!

I am always reading of guys with 6 lb pulleys that are seeing 14-15lbs of boost. I have a a 4lb lower and a 2.76 upper and only get 12lbs, verified on the dyno. (puts thoughts of a faulty boost gauge to rest) When I got the truck tuned by Bob Kurgan, a very reputable tuner in the chicagoland...

I have a K&N intake for sale. I got it to use as a make-shift intake for my lightning as my buddy had the intake laying around until i could buy a real cai for the L. Comes with filter, heat shield, and bolts for attaching the MAF to the filter. Looking to get $100 OBO + Shipping

DOes anyone know the best place to buy both the upper and lower street scenes grilles in black? Street scenes website does not list the lower grille for the Lightning and wanted to know if there is another place to get them. Thanks

I have an SCT XCal 2 for my 2000 Lightning and was wondering if it is possible to datalog another vehicle with it. My buddy has a 2004 6.0 PSD f250 and wanted me to datalog some things. When I hook up the XCal, it gives a message on live link saying that it cant connect to the vehicles ECU. Is...

when i had my truck tuned, i had a K&N intake off an 03 cobra (money was tight and it was cheap). i just picked up a JLP air intake and was wondering if i would need to get the truck retuned or if it will be fine to just throw the intake on and let it rip.

After taking my freshly tuned 00L to the track and only being able to trap 100 MPH, I decided to do some datalogging. On the dyno, both the horsepower and torque curves were smooth, nothing out of the ordinary. The truck made 397 RWHP and 491 RWTQ with an AFR or 11.8 and 18.5* of timing. I...

My truck just doesn't seem to trap where it should for the mods. last year, i went 13.0 @ 103 on a 1.8 60' with a mail order tune and then i just took it out last week with the same mods but with a full dyno tune and could only muster a 13.5 @ 100 with a 1.9 60'. I know the 60' are poor but...

I was just wondering if anyone in the Milwaukee area would be interrested in getting a cruise together before the end of the year. Nice weather is running out and I was thinking it would be nice to get together with a group of cars for one more cruise. Let me know if anyone ios interrested

I just got my 2000 tuned by Bob Kurgan of Kurgan Motorsports and I highly reccommend him for anyone in the Illinois area for a tune. He's a great guy and really worked on a complete tune, not just WOT. I ended up with 397.54 RWHP and 490.91 RWTQ on a 93 octane tune with 18.5 degrees of timing...
