Isn't it a little early to be sucking up...

[unclesams_svt]

Just a little bit of advice. Stay way from the Accufab TB. I had one on my truck for a while and I could never get it to run right. Now my truck runs alot better with the stocker. Just my 0.02 cents.

[Kafn8td]

:stupid: port the stock one.

[mcafferty]

why did it not run right? made wrong or something?

[Kafn8td]

some work fine and others have idle and if you use it cruise control problems. I think D9's works fine. My opinion is the cost outweighs the returns.

[mcafferty]

What would be a better option spare no expense LS is buying.

I have heard mixed things about them also

[Video_Master]

I think a Stiege ported blower should be on your list.

[mcafferty]

by the way my cruse stoped working last week what the hell i only got 71,000 mile on the truck :uhoh:

[mcafferty]

I think a Stiege ported blower should be on your list.


maybe how much would one of those run would want a new blower with so many miles on mine or maybe they rebuild them have not looked into it that hard.

Yes, he does the R&R on them also as part of the port job.

Mac, did you get the recall done on the brake switch from the cruise control?

Da

Not until he has the fastest vehicle of all time - which will be approximately the 5th of Never. (no offense Mac)

As far as the line lock - read up on it. I've heard some bad reviews of some configurations on the Lightnings. I don't remember any of the details though, sorry.

[mcafferty]

the 5th of Never is just around the corner buddy.
that is what i have been seeing on the NLOC site. maybe i will pass for now it does not add that many HP anyway...lol

[Supersonic]

Hey Mac,

I have seen some unfavorable opinions on the Motoblue line lock. I have the Line Lock kit sold through PSP ($199). It is by far the most popular kit available and I have not seen any negative feedback. It uses a Hurst Roll Control solenoid which has been around for a long time. You can get the solenoid through Jegs or Summit for about $100, but then you need to get a break line made up which requires a flaring tool.

For me it was just easier to pay a premium for the PSP kit that includes everything, but you can certainly save some $$$ if you are resourceful.

[Sweet35th]

Dont port your blower, Im not going to justify my opinion on this, its been more than proven.

Stay away from cat-less exhaust, it gets VERY VERY VERY LOUD!!!!! I have bassani cat-back, with high flows, and its more than loud, if you want to hear it first hand, ill fire it up for you anytime.

[Sweet35th]

C&L Trueflow Inlet Pipe

Hold off on this for a bit.

I have the inlet pipe, and dont feel its worth much gain at all. I will test the inlet elbo (upper intake/elbow after the TB) that they sell, and see if its worth any power. If its not, I will send it back to them, wait for the dyno results befor you invest your hard earned cash into somthing that may not work.

I have no problem being the guinie pig for some tests, being I have a lil pull to get my money back if things dont work out.

[mcafferty]

The wife wants me to hold off for a little bit anyway. I did already change my mind to the high flow cat system. When were you doing the testing would love to see that. Thanks for the info guys.

You mean I have to get off my lazy ass and do somthing!!! lol

Well it wont probably be till spring now since the truck is in storage, but I can assure you the testing with be extensive on it..

Im considering going to long tube headers with highflow cats, in which case my y-pipe and current high flow cats (all bassani stuff) will be for sale, would you be interested?

[mcafferty]

lol.
I think all my Lightning mods are from you guys. my rims and slicks, my bassani cat back, and my intake. the only thing new is the tuner and pulley. guess i am a budget racer or a cheap @#$. what will you be selling in the spring? mid pipes? I am going to order my FTVB in the next few weeks. by the way don't you have that fancy new shop to work in?

[Sweet35th]

yah, new shop is pretty nice, not 100% yet, but close.

Yah, Ill be selling the mid pipes come spring,

[mcafferty]

like spring as in two weeks? lol pm me with the price. thanks will you be at the open house on the 20th? may hit it in the morning.

[Sweet35th]

I will be there.

[mcafferty]

C&L Plenum on the way.
