Name is Eric Basile i have a 99 Lightning i bought a few months ago. it has small mods so far. 90mm MAF, JDM intake, Borla exhaust, 7inch touch screen, and 02 Lightning headlights. Soon powdercoat rims white, Diablo chip, and tune. I should be taking pics today after i change the oil and wash it so maybe i'll post some later tonight. Later!

i seen a few in gains but not much but i should be going to get a tune in about 3 months i never tuned it due to being in Colorado i would pay for a tune again going from the mountains to here. I am going to try out either amazon tuning since i have a diablo chip just sitting around here somewhere or i might try out Pro Dyno and go SCT haven't made up my mind yet though.

How far is Conway from Columbia?
How far is Conway from Columbia?
I'm guessing around 3 hours, but it will be worth it. You can also check out Chris Tuten. I think he is located in Columbia.

There about the same distance at about 2.5 hours from you.

I def need a tune soon. Tyler said Pro Dyno use to work on his truck. I think there like 1 1/2 hours. i need to get rid of some 24inch black and white powder coated rims only 3 have tires on it (Scorpion). i blew a tire on the way here and they said a new tire whould run 505 with shipping so i went back to my stock 18s lol. plus the 24s slowed me down way too much. They came with the truck when i bought it. LOL

the second one isn't mine. Thats the same year and everything as mine the only difference is his rims are powdercoated how i want mine. Just got off the phone with amazon. In march there gonna do a #4 lower, plugs, and tune on my truck. Already set up my birthday present from me to me LOL

ask DolSvt00 about amazon. he may have some good insight for you.
Basile99
12-29-2009, 04:44 PM
why is that where he getshis stuff done? They seem to be one of the few that tune L's here that will tune my Diablo chip. the other places i talked to just did SCT. I already bought the chip so might as well use it. picked it up last month for 50 shipped.

Thats because their a SV on there, they cry like little bitches to mods when you trash them..... O but not here, here their rip off artists that I wouldnt let tune my lawnmower.
They tout how their so great, but have never tuned a remotely fast truck. Get tuned by them if you want, I'll be waiting here to tell you I told you so just like I've told so many others that have spent thousands with them only to have to take it somewhere else to fix their dookie.

If you are in Columbia, do yourself a favor and talk to Chris Tuten. He is one of the best tuners around and he is in your backyard.
It's free to call the man and talk to him. Tell him you got the number from me, 803-252-5595- ask for Chris.
And if you wouldn't mind- report back to us after you talk to him and tell us what you think. I bet you will be pleased.

Welcome to the board. Is JDM a name brand for the intake or is really from
Japan for the lightning.
And I will take that call, Volvo wagon against the truck, I need 3 cars and the brake from you and you cant use NOS.

I called you Saturday..you didn't answer. You do that again, toslow, and I will drive my car through your house. I'll call you again this Saturday when I'm about 1 block away doing 70mph.

Yeah i'll call Chris Tomorrow and let you know. So far the best quote i got for blast and powdercoat my rims was 300 from a place in greensville. Anyone know somewhere that will do for less?
