Questions before getting dynoed

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 20:25:38 -0500

I recently purchased a 99 Lightning. The truck, as a whole, is in decent shape considering how many miles it has on it. I plan to go thru the truck and give it a solid once over before modding it. Outside of your normal items (filters, fluids) is there anything else I need to check or replace?

Should I go to a lower temp t-stat and colder plugs?

What is the best bet to get to the 400hp range? I would like to keep the boost fairly low maybe only a 2 or 4 lb. pulley, but don't have the funds for a full bolt-on truck. A tune is a must for me so I would like to have any mods installed prior.

By the way, my wife purchased me a "gift cert" from you for my Christmas gift. She had nothing but good things to say about the cleanliness of the shop and friendly demeanor of the person she spoke to. Thanks for making our first experience a good one, and I look forward to having my truck worked on there.

Comply With REACH

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 07:08:43 -0500

Complying with the EU's Reach Directive does not seem to be a problem for big enterprises. Smaller companies, however, are waiting until the last minute and some may even stop exporting to the EU altogether. REACH Directive restricts and limits the presence of numerous chemicals, including phthalates and lead. The former is a plasticizer said to be a hormone disrupter, and cause cancer and birth defects. Lead is used widely in many products, including paint, plastic, ceramics, textiles and garments. It is also said to cause cancer, and can damage the central nervous and immune systems. REACH stipulates phthalate and lead content should not exceed 0.1ppm and 1.0ppm per product, respectively.

The new regulation puts the responsibility on chemical producers to provide a wide variety of information on safety, including toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, environmental fate, and other data that must be “robust” and often follow good laboratory practices (“GLP”) standards. The EU has created a new European Chemicals Agency to work in tandem with Member States to receive and evaluate the data submitted by chemicals manufacturers. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, REACH aims to enhance innovation and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH. The REACH Directive places greater responsibility on industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances.

GEN 1 Lightning Blower Bracket

Someone asked about a finding a blower bracket for a their Bronco project (the owner of the black Marauder), when I was at Paradise last weekend. I thought this link might be of some help.

2003 SVT 10th Anniv Cobra Convertible

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:28:30 -0400

Triple Black, Original Owner, have all receipts for all work. This is a Show and Go SVT Cobra with too many modifications to list(maybe not too many, maybe too lazy to type them all correctly). But I amwilling to send interested buyers a complete list of modifications. Cobra lived in GA for the first five years of its life. Tuned by Injected Engineering in GA. Car is now in Ohio and not driven during the winter months nor bad weather. 11,850 miles (at 07 11).All Documentation since new ... Asking $28,000 with all accessories. Price isnego based on what the buyer wants included. I am not suggesting I will demod the Cobra (I won't) a complete extra set of CCW Drag wheels and tires, racing harnesses,extra set oem floor mats, SCT Tuner, carbon fiber shifter cover, front bra, carcover, racing pulley, belts, etc that may or may not be of interest to the buyer.

Tuning Service

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 01:11:43 -0400

I have SCT PRP software and hardware and wanted to know what would you charge to use my equipment to tune my truck. I made some changes to the motor; heads, roller cam and injectors on a supercharged/inter-cooled application. Right now, I have it to where it'll start/run and drive. I would also need a copy of the completed file so I can make changes to the shift points and converter lock-up schedules.

Thanks

Hi everyone! I am a 1st time Dodge Charger owner (VERY non-mechanically inclined) and looking forward to spending some time (and $ HA!) at Injected Engineering, improving the performance of my stock vehicle! No doubt I will also be on the forums here as well, seeking advice on those future modifications!

Old Dog learning a New Truck.

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:17:36 -0400

2 weeks ago I saw a Black SVT F150 Lightning for sale. Turned out to be the same truck I had seen drive thru the parking lot at work and was in awe at it's deep evil exhaust tone.

At the time I saw the truck for sale I was working on a '65 F100. Had just spent 300 bucks on a drive shaft, ordered a floor shifter, installed some header mufflers and a couple used tires on some rims I got from a buddy. Then while I was checking the timing the tranny started acting up. I was like damnit, get one thing done and another problem arises. I don't have a shop and I really didn't want to go thru another hot summer working on this project in the yard and I had just seen a Lightning for sale......

Rode back over where the F150 was and got the phone number and gave the seller a call. His price was in my range and it was OBO. Went back next day for a test drive and made him an offer and now she's mine.....er well actually it's the banks but you know what I mean.

Now I've never owned a truck newer than a '72 model except that '83 model but I don't count that one.
So buying this 21st century model had me a nervous wreck. Plus the fact that it had a ton of mods done to it didn't help matters. I did feel better when I learned the mods where done by a Professional shop though.

Anyways this is my new truck BlacKsunShiNe, yes the Rob Zombie song, and thanks to Ryan for providing all the info on it's build.

Nice feeling knowing I can come here with any questions that may arise. Just wish ya'll were closer to Augusta.

Hi All,

I stopped in a few weeks ago and talked to Ryan about some work on my 07 Charger R/T. I'm probably going to be ready to let them start the project in a month or so. Really looking forward to this!

Wanted to give my thanks and props to all the guys at Injected. Especially Aric and Ryan.

Thanks for the great hospitality while I was getting my car tuned there the other week and also thank you for the nice gains I got she feels like a totally different car now. I really appriciate the time you guys spend to make sure everything is done right, I still can not get over how such small changes can make such a big difference when it comes to tuning.

Thanks again Injected you all rock!!!

Now I just need SW LT's and a little 150shot..
