I think you live fairly close to my area where did you take the lightning to have the tune, Name of the shop would be greatly appreciated thank you, love your videos, new subscriber.
I've been looking at possibly putting one of the chargers from these on my truck (97 f150, normal truck). I can't stand supercharger whine, at least not hellcat levels of supercharger whine so I'm wondering how loud it is, you having owned this truck for awhile you might be able to tell me Specifically how it whines under normal operation.
It doesn't bother me as a matter of fact I like the whine. If you don't like the whine consider a flatter supercharger like what's on the C7 Z06... I also had a roush on my 2020 GT and there was little to no whine
The Whipple is an upgrade. From the factory I guess it has an Eaton but I was under the impression before it was a Ken Belle. Either way it does have a pulley upgrade
Im in Cali also, where can i get my Lightning tuned? I really want to get some longtube headers and a full 3 inch exhaust thats pretty much it. Let me know if you can
I just bought a 13,000 mile 2001 lightning. I’m torn between keeping it OEM because low miles or putting a pulley, CAI and a tune. I am assuming that’s what you’ve done to your truck.
@@SlimCounty yes for the most part. Some OEM stuff I wanted had to have my local ford dealer find a store that had the part I wanted but it’s never been a issue
I own a syclone and very impressive 60 foot... after that the lightning will eat the syclone alive. Thus the reason I'm selling the syclone and keeping the lightning
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction Wait,.....what!!!! You think that Lighting will beat the Syclone in the 1/4 mile?? Because I'm sitting here right now with the 2015 Motortrend magazine with both trucks that says "Old school vs New School" tasked with all the performance things Motortrend requires pitting the two head 2 head. I can tell with 1000% positivity that you sir,.....are wrong. That Lighting is a whole 1.06 sec slower on the quarter mile sir. The only thing it out performances the GMC at,....is speed braking🤣🤣😭. And it's so small of a margin it's a mook point. Matter of fact,.....the GMC Syclone will gap a 2015 Vette in the quarter mile. Aaaaaand a 2015 Mustang 5.O.. So I'm sure you love your Lighting and are a tad bias. But in reality sir,......its a really heavy Mustang with a supercharger that CANNOT beat the GMC Syclone in any area of performance. Period. Sorry my guy. Maybe get yourself a Cobra. It'll barely beat the Syclone.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍 Would you like a link to prove my point??? There are many.
@@theariesexperiment4642 hate to disagree but my lightning will kill my syclone, no doubt about it. Like I said the syclone is great to foot brake, build boost and go...and would jump out ahead of the lightning to maybe 100 foot and that only because the syclone will spin. After that the lightning will walk the syclone. Of course the lightning has a little more power that it did stock. And no way does the syclone beat the C7 in a quarter mile. I have also had one of those as well 👍👍
Those syclones are quik as hell.. My lightnings got a built engine and the syclone still beat me.. Not by much but i have well over 20 grand in the engine alone and stock syclone beat me lol.. Anyhow the syclone is fugly tho and dont sound as good
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction dude I got well over twenty Grand in my lightning with the Whipple supercharger h-beam racing rods Manley crank Springs valves. 527 lift crower cams.. Patriot ported heads 80 lb injectors walbro pumps a custom 102 mm mass air flow sensor I think I got about 600 and some horsepower true horsepower in a stock Cyclone still whooped me. My lightning is running the SC2 tuner and I don't have everything turned up maximum because my lightning a setup for dependability. I wish I would have went with the Dual cam setup though no matter that Cyclone beat me or not they are ugly as hell and they don't sound nearly as cool as a lightning
So clean man this is for sure one of my dream cars
Me too, it's so smooth bro, plus woman go all the way for it.
Lmao, wow, if this is your dream car than you are lame as hell
My fully stock 04 sonic blue model never fails to make me happy like this truck too.
I have one too but a long bed with the good ole 4.6 triton 💪🏼
@@Railking546 junk
3:18 Classic Supercharged 🔥
4:40 holy Mother Jesus F***** Christ. Stunning engine sound oh my God😢😢
I have a 02 silver metallic all original svt lighting myself, I love the whine of that supercharger!
Wish I had one of those and a Corvette supercharger as well
That whine is so addicting
I love my 02 lightning yours sounds very good
My 2nd favorite truck of all time
Gotta ask...what is the first?
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction Toyota tundra
Some rad cars in that garage, off the top I saw a Cyclone and a Roadmaster estate!
I have sold a lot of them including those two since this video. Still a few left though...
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction Out of my price range right now anyway, just admiring and appreciating the lineup… not to mention the lightning.
How are you passing smog now with the tune? Ca checks for any aftermarket tunes now since 2021. This is now an issue for me
Oh, QUIT WHINING! 😜 Sounds great, Mike!
LOL, thanks!!
03 red. Stuck in traffic? Sometimes you make it shriek and traffic melts out of your way. Like an ambulance.
Sr!! Very nice 👍 your truck I love 90s but there aren't in supercharged edition 😭
Thank you

@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction great thanks for the input
Why was the motor replaced at 120,000 MI???. That's kind of alarming! 🚨
It happens
I hot the whipple.. You upgraded the charger?
The Whipple is an upgrade. From the factory I guess it has an Eaton but I was under the impression before it was a Ken Belle. Either way it does have a pulley upgrade
Im in Cali also, where can i get my Lightning tuned? I really want to get some longtube headers and a full 3 inch exhaust thats pretty much it. Let me know if you can
I used PDT Motorsports in Oakdale
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction Do they also due engine work or are they just a tune shop? Love the video by the way, subscribed
@@Aaron.svt99 thank you and yes I do believe they do engine work
Go to Gintani in van nuyS. Trust me on this

How does it drive stock? I’m thinking about getting one to go with my jeep
@@SlimCounty with 450’ pds of torque low end is impressive. Drives real well and you can’t beat that supercharger wine
@@dondonelson7908 is it easy to find parts for it?
@@SlimCounty yes for the most part. Some OEM stuff I wanted had to have my local ford dealer find a store that had the part I wanted but it’s never been a issue
@@dondonelson7908 alright that’s cool, I appreciate it bro!
How the reliability on the truck? Cause I’m thinking about getting one-
It's been good for me
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction really??
@@JMan6271 I don't daily drive it but once I got the inner cooler fixed and had it properly tuned the truck hasn't missed a beat
@@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction I’m so glad it’s been good for ya!
How much are you selling it if you can let me know
Just sold.it about an hour ago
You still selling I got a 77 ford f150 wit 80k miles
Nah I'm gonna keep it a bit longer
What’s your asking price
It's not for sale
My cold dead hands. I want another one for just in case.
How much you want for it
It has since sold
Has anyone bought it ?
Funny you should ask...no, I still have it!
thinkin about getting one of these with 62,000 miles they want $32,000 to much or something else out there worth getting more then this.
Mine is currently for sale. If interested shoot me an email mdh5169@yahoo.com
If you drove the Syclone GMC you would be blown away. It's an AWD V6 and would suck the grill out of that Lighting.
