Questions

So, I bought the Lightning on Thurday, and I love it, but sadly could be happier. There are no major problems just little things(bulbs and tires and an o2 sensor). So here are my questions
  1. Can anyone tell waht kind of setup this is? Like brand wise.
  2. Is there a good place around Dallas to get a tune/and tires for cheap. I think Troyer is out of the question because of distance.
  3. Does anyone have any cool taillights? I hate mine and need some ideas.
  4. How do you get the taillights off?
thanks
Josh

So it turns out the truck is Troyer Tuned already I found a reciept for the exhaust system "Race Magnums" and a "Mangaflow Water Molded X Pipe", Still need tails and tires though.

No, if you have a CF look, you have aftermarket tails.

Take a 4.5 hour drive south to Houston and visit PSI Motorsports. They are THE only option for Lightning owners in and around Houston.

PSI is so good, I'm seriously considering trailering my L over to Texas to have them install their thoroughly R&D'd turbo kit.

An I/net buddy of mine (Chad aka "fuzzie") has run 9's with his daily driven street L. Well, it was a daily driver back then, I do believe however he's retired it to strip duty only now.

Well I'm not entirely certain that it has a Troyer Tune, I found that his number was written into the owners manual, and I described the setup to FTE Ken and he said it sounded like Troyer.

Heres a pic

But I have absolutely no knowledge of which tune is which.

well i would still recommend getting a troyer tune even if its just a mail order one. Chances are better than not that it is going to be better than any dyno shop in your area.
