Post Best Kill To Date!!!!

The other night I was out rideing my new L when I pulled into a parking lot to talk to a few friends. Thier was a new trans am (auto trans 350) setting in the parking lot. The owner came over and asked me if I wanted to race. I said sure( I really thought the weight disadvantage for me would really be a problem) so we headed down to a four lane road that is dead straight for about 4 miles with no traffic. We decided to race to 100 miles an hour. When my friend said go it was all tire spin for me till about 40 miles an hour ( Funny I never had this problem until I installed the Superchip). We were even up until 40 miles an hour, after that it was all Lightning.
I had him by a car length at 80 and really started to pull away from him from 80 to 100. After the race the owner of the trans am told me that this was the first time he had ever been out trun. He congradulated me and went on his away. ( I think he was kind of hurt that a 1/2 ton truck just busted his sports car) HEHE. Man I love this truck!!!! HANKFAN

Thats awesome.. love to hear it.. Are you running a superchip only? I only have about 1K on my 00 L and am wondering how it would react with a chip only? no air filter mod. My truck rips as is, traction is a regular problem, but always looking for more just in case... Just dunno which ship to go for? They sound easy to install?

They are pretty easy to install. Just follow directions, make sure the connections are clean and you'll love the difference.

The only mods I have on my truck are a replacement K&N filter, dual one chamber flowmasters and the Superchip. I can honestly say that thier is day and night between stock and with the above mods. I really don't rely on dyno numbers but the seat of the pants meter really likes the new L. Thanks, HANFAN
