Welcome to the site. Check out the Lightning forum here.

The two biggest things you can do for power on those trucks is a larger crank boost pulley and a custom tuned chip for it. We're not talking about minor gains, but huge gains of 40-60 HP depending on how much boost you go for with the pulley.

Welcome to the forum! There are several options to get your truck lower, just post down in either the Lightning or 97-03 forum about drops. Love your screen name!
