My friend has a 02 Lightning, its fast. I am gaining on it though. It is completely stock.
Jerry did the pcm really help out? The intercooler should show a nice gain.

I think your truck is really impressive, it really shows how good the STS is. I questioned it when I first saw it. I decided to stay n/a and get a set of heads and a stall. You need a stall. Your truck makes me a STS beleiver.
I always thought a lighting was way faster than it really is. I quess it doesn't take much to build something as fast with a Bowtie!

Actually, Yank makes stalls that utilize factory towing specifications for all types of GM trucks. A 3000 yank is supposedly the godess of stall converters, it gives you that performance edge, yet retains towing capabilities.

Edit: The YANK TRUCK THRUSTER 2600HD 4L80E will maintain full towing capabilities

My buddy CRAZYCUTER4.8 was pushing 488rwhp and running 12.6 with his 03' EC 4.8(3.73's/G80) before he put in a 224/224 cam and 3500 stall. He had normal bolt-ons(duals no cats,CAI,Self ported TB,shorties,212/218 cam,LS6 springs,3000 stall,and 200 dry/wet shot of n20) on stock bottom end,rear end,injectors,etc.. So your goal is pretty easily obtained with n20 and not to difficult without it! Heres how I see it if you have a 4.8 and you spend momey on all the bolt ons and you kill the 4.8 it all works with a LS1/LQ4/LQ9!
