my buddy just bought a 99 lightning and does not use a computer very much so he had me do some looking around on the net to find some places to buy parts for the lightning. i was wonder what the best places to get aftermarket performance parts are, who makes the best parts, the best performance per dollar parts, and any order that would be best for moding the lightning. i figured you guys would know all these things. any help would be great. my buddy is no new commer to fast cars he has a 79 malibu that runs in the 10's w/ a 500cuin non blown no nitrous motor. and he also has a 425 rwhp thunderbird turbocoupe that runs at 30 psi. thanks for any help

Best starting point is chip n' filter. You'll see about 30-35rwhp. If he wants more then get a pulley which must be matched with the chip. Next is a single blade thrttle body worth 11hp stock more if modded. And the list goes on...

I carry JDM and PSP products and a few others. Some prices are the same some are lower. The most important to me is the customer service and product support.

Not sure you noticed but this is my sponsoring vendor forum for Performance Research (http://performanceresearchonline.com). Kind of like going to one dealership and asking them to recommend another dealer to buy from:hammer: As for JDM and Sal@PSP I deal with both of them regularly and both have great parts and tuning:tu:

Terry how much would it cost for me to drive to Johnny Lightning and have him install a JDM pulley with a PSP chip?
