I just got a blue 2002 lightning and I was wondering if anybody can give me any advice or info on the truck. This is my first American muscle car. No more rice burners. Thanks Kevin

 

5.4L supercharged, putting about 380hp 390ft lbs.


if it bone stock i suguest a quick tune up part that goes by the name PULLEY!!!! my supervisor has an 02' and put a pulley and crap on it so now its making like 16lbs of boost!!!!! once you do that though you will be wanting a good suspension cause one you get more power in em they dont hook worth a shit on stock parts.

also a good choice going from the rice to da domestic muscle.

 

haha change your username first
Congrats on the truck!

 

Pulley and perf chip help out alot.

 

yeah, the diablo sport predator flash tuner seem to be the number 1 choice now for them thur trucks

 

Since it is an Auto, STALL CONVERTER!

 

stall converter is one of the last things i would do unlike cars like the ls1's, if you do a pulley, you need tuning so get the predator and see Sam, i would do an intake first b/c you will gain about a lb of boost even in hot weather with it, as far as suspension, they have a leaf style thing but for less than 400 bucks you can get stuff so that you hook as long as you have sticky tires on it

 

if you want to drag remove a few leafs in the rear
