4 Race stance lowered to the ground adjustable Koni's (Take it to Archer Racing to maximize the chassis)

Why buy a lightning that has a supercharger, when you can buy a supercharger kit(and have 20k+ left) and be faster than a lightning, look better, and suprise more people at the track.
I'd get a 5.7hemi or bigger
turbocharge the hell out of it
then make it look like a cross between intense's dak, and sin-cits dak only in Flame Red.
Then i'd get some v6 emblems and take it to the track :)
would go over all the specifics, but i'm lazy.

I would sell my Dak and use the money for a Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the new Hemi. I would drop a bigger cam in as soon as one was available and add 14 LBs of boost. Anything left over would go to wards new paint.
