Whats up everybody. I think in the near future im in the market for a Lightning.

This looks like a badass place for information. Im a gm guy at heart, i have a 97 Ws6 TA, Heads, Cam, headers, lt4 intake, and a Procharger.





It holds its own against ls1's 11.3 on bald bfg comp t/a's, id like to get some slicks and really launch it, but my rearend will most likely blow..

Cool board


Trevor

 

Let me take the honor of welcoming you to the board...

 

Welcome
Sweet ws6

 

Trevor, just drive a Lightning and you'll be hooked .

We have plenty of ex- GM owners here among us. (as well as those who own both)

Your TA is sweet too, I always liked the sharp 97 nose.

 

Thanks for the compliments

I actually havent driven a lightning yet, but im going to this weekend, ive always thought they were so badass though.

I'll be most likley gettin rid of the old LT1 in favor of a Ls1 (since I fear a catostrophic engine faliure soon ) Thats just how it goes with running high boost huh. I saw that rod through the oil pan on a post on here earlier, that sucks, plus my car has 65,xxx miles. The lightning is gonna be my everyday driver.

 

nice car and welcome

 

My L is all I have... I wish I had another car with all the driving I do. It sucks.

 

hmmmmmmmm PROCHARGER!!!!
NICE

 

Yea, the car is running REALLY nice right now.
I dont know if anyone here is familiar with the LT1 engine......

Its a wonderful engine with old technology, and fixing all the hesitaion/misfires/rough idle/optispark got old, so after it blew a head gasket stock, i put in a new cam, got the heads ported, and a few bolt ons here and there. Ran like a champ then, and got rid of the ignition woes. About 3 months later we bolted up a the D1 procharger, and it put out BIG #'s, 501 RWHP/485 RWTQ @ 11 PSI, and thats where I am now, TEARING THE TIRES OFF

 

welcome

 

Leann, I drive 152 mile round trip back and forth to work and I drive my 2000 Lightning. The L is the only way to go!

Suavy

PS, you get to log in allot more kills this way!

 

I love driving the L. I just wish I didn't put so many miles on it because I wanna keep it even when I get a gen 2.

It only has 57k miles

 

This used to be a bad **** too when I had it last year.....




13.4 bone stock..........(stock ls1 times)

that bad boy had 103,000 miles and ran flawlessly

 

Welcome and greetings from a former LT1 and LS1 owner.

 

nice cars man, just curious, what did that impala run??
