Things are looking good

Looks as I will be getting a 09 silver with lsd, moon roof, and spare tire from a local dealer. Didn't real care for the moon roof deal but oh well. Over the next year I plan on doing several things. Meth kit from alky performance (I used this on a turbo escalade, and worked great), CIA, intercooler piping (I will be making my own, or just buy someones depending on the time of year, and if I'm driving the car.) Gonna ditch the rear bumper, and lights (going for a SS coupe rear, or GRIP's rear coupe bumper) lower the car (not sure air ride, or spring set up) more than likely bigger wheels. I really want to just drive the crap out of it, and enjoy it. I will keep everyone updated on whats going on. There is a ton of info on these boards, and seems to be some good ppl to boot!

True I guess just more things on the road to laugh at.

we where the supercharged one that raced at milan. The escalade now sports a 406 stroker, and a mid mount turbo. Our 10 pounds of boost was no match for there 13+...they beat us even with my near perfect reaction time, and almost 2 lengths on them from the get. But I'm a one man shop with a customers budget, there escalade was a in house project of there's.....and it was a lease to boot!!!

As far as "dubs" and air ride a no no..... No one said anything about dubs....19's are bigger than factory. I had 19 inch one off bonspeeds on my daily driven svt focus. I'm not going to go into how air ride isn't want it usta be, and I'm no hack doing it in my backyard!!! The lightning from my website was featured in truckin' , and several other features. Yes a 01 lightning on air, and on 22's....goes 12.80's the way it sits, the escalade is now fully bagged, on 24's and runs.... not letting that one out of the bag yet, and that has been featured in a couple different magazines.
You can have more than just looks from big wheels, and air ride. but like anything in life each there own. I don't expect everyone to like it, or do it. I'm not here to preach what I'm doing, or want to do is the best, and is the only way. I like a lot more than just performance. Lightning owners to this date wont talk to me because of the truck I built. They think the 25k I put into it should have been to make it go fast. They can do what they want..... I did what I wanted to....
