I've been reading the Lightning web sites recently (see signature below) and
just about all indicate 1/4 et's of high 13's stock. With air intake and
chip, this drops to 13.5's, not bad for $500. With headers and hi-flow
exhaust, et's approach 13.0. Sounds like the Lightnings are very responsive
to tuning.
