Ive done my fair share of research and talking to dozens of fellow L owners so I'm pretty educated on where the breaking point is. Also my tuner is a Lightning EXPERT, I decided not to just to to the regular dyno shop for my tune. I wanted to go to a exclusive Lightning shop, so I talked to the guys on nloc.net to find one not too far from me and got with AVT performance. The owner has a L himself / shop / and dyno <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> and his specialty is Lightnings. He has built a few L's around me here in NC that are daily driven and are in the mid 10's ( same his own truck runs ). So I'm in good hands, thats not a worry for me. When I do the upgrade to a KB or Whip, the boost / timing will be kept conservative unless I do make the decision to go with a built bottom end. And that very well may happen.......ya never know :coolsmiley:I have 34k miles on the L, its already been to the trans shop for custom valve body work........I'm pondering on putting in a 24 or 2600 stall in the near future. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
