Default Re: New SVT owner here.

Actually, before getting my Lightning, what I really had wanted was to buy another Mustang. I didn't even really like trucks in general back then! However, with my Mustang getting more serious at the time, and getting to the point of wishing I had a tow vehicle and trailer, I decided a Lightning was the best compromise of the things I wanted. It can tow my Mustang to the track while also being a powerful, sporty, and fun vehicle to drive too. Besides... it matches my Mustang perfectly.

As for what you commented on in your reply to the other thread... you are somewhat right on the price of it though if you are buying one from a dealer. I don't think they are that bad priced sticker new, but dealers have this habit of jacking it up a nice chunk (at the time I bought mine at least). I was just lucky all the way around with mine. I ended up with exactly what I wanted, a vehicle that's a little special, it was only "slightly" used (under 10K on the odometer), and I got it for a killer price to boot. I just couldn't pass it up. Someone did me a big favor getting it... hopefully I've returned the favor a little by now.

OK, Got with a reputable dyno shop in orlando (LaMotta Performance
). Ordering the 4# pully, Upper intake, acufab single blade, 95mm maf, Airfilter kit with mounting hardware. The chip will be purchased at the dyno shop and custom programmed there also. The maf will also be installed there, but not in that order

All of it is comming from C & L.

PS. the dyno shop said that they see typicall around only a 10 HP gain with complete exhaust systems and my combo( they stated that theyve tried a multitude of combinations also) and for the close to 1500 dollars said its not worth it. I kind of agree, but if I had the extra 1500 id get it for the 10 or so hp.

Ohh also, The new mustang is almost ready. User rides 1546 will be getting some new updates and hopefully a 10 second pass<-- not the svt, my 88 gt race car. Svt is going to pull it to the track and run down the track too.
