I dont know how many of you have heard of Pickrel Performance, but Dave (Icepick) the owner has been selling cold air tubes and exhaust systems to Gen 1 Lightning owners for a few years now.
Dave is planning on marketing the hot and cold pipes and a complete exhaust system for a Gen 1 with either non-intercooled or intercooled setup.

He is still in the process of of tooling up the tubing right now, but hopfully it wont be much longer because I am the first on his list for the Intercooled Turbo setup :banana:

Here are some pics of Daves truck to give you an idea of the quality of his work.
btw: Its a 408 stroker with a blow-thru carb setup :drool:

This last picture is of a race setup that uses no power steering and no air conditioning, but is very similar to what he will be building for me.

Yes, a very good deal.
The Gen 1 is my Budget buildup ;)
The sad part is....even with getting deals on the turbo stuff, I still will have more in the turbo than I paid for the truck :jester:
