Default Buddies Lightning comp. I made.

comp. w/ some local runs of his, mine included. His motor recently ate a cylinder, not sure on the damage yet, but it has only 60 pounds of compression in the bad cylinder, as compared to 190 in the rest.

thanks Ferocity02, to bad i'm going to a Hooker catback. Reason being is that I might be moving down to Atlanta and emissions is terrible down there, so I though a catback might quite it down some and the drive down there would suck w/ dumped exhaust. Also, I used to have Eibach sportline springs and it looked good (as u can see in the vid), but exhaust liked to drag after I installed a Lakewood Driveshaft safety loop.

Mods done to the L are 4# Lower, Custom made Borla catback, deleted cats, AEM Brute Force Cold Air intake, Predator Tune, and I think that is all. Truck made 386RWHP/475RWTQ w/ what I feel was a bad tune looking at the graph. But there aren't any shops w/ in 3 hours of where we live so he took a chance and now the L dropped a cylinder, maybe not because of the tune, but we will find out. I actually trailored my Z to New Lenox, ILL to get my tune done because I have no trust in anyone in WIS.

O, and it was the same L through out the entire vid.
