Thanks ViperRed91GT if that is indeed your real name for inviting me to post here. I am in the early stages of a 6r80 swap on an 02 Lightning here is the mod list before the swap: Manley Rods/pistons bullet cams ported heads posi ported blower, midplate, tb Pacesetter long tubes...
It took me about 18 months because my garage only has 2 temperatures, 40* or 95*. I had a 99 stock Lightning and from a seat of the pants feeling the Lightning was much quicker from standing still. The 5.0 has a stock rebuilt 4R70W a stock converter with a US Shift controller, the 68 has a 3.50/ Detroit locker.
Go to Youtube and search Syclone vs Lightning You will see that the syclone is quite the hauler!:bigtu

Could someone please explain the basic changes that took place with the lightnings from 1999-2004? Not sure of all of the body cosmetic changes or powertrain changes. I do remember some intercooler issues in the early years , but not sure what all of that was about either. Please fill me in. Thanks!
