Up for sale is an original set of 15" steel wheels built by JDM Engineering. From what I have been able to find, there were only a handful of these wheels ever built. These were built before Bogart wheels became so popular with the Ford Lightning drag racing community. These wheels will allow...
Here are some vids of my truck
First pass.
Took it easy because it was my first pass on skinny fronts. Spun a lot because the rear suspension was too soft.
11.03 Pass
Second pass.
Stiffened the rear shocks and had a better launch
10.71 Pass
Third pass.
No change from second...
I went to DelVallo.net's Spookfest track rental at Atco Raceway. Had a great time and set a new PB. Promptly broke that with a faster one. Here is my best one to date.
I'm used to deep staging on a .500 Pro Tree. This run was shallow staged on a Sportsman Tree.
Here is my timeslip:
I have a brand new, never installed carbon fiber tailgate that fits Lightnings. Stock tailgate weighs almost 50#s and this one weighs 11.8#!! MSRP is $799 + shipping. I'm selling for $650 and I'll bring it to Spookfest at Atco Dragway this Friday.
Willing to ship too
I'll have pics posted...
As a lot of you know, I had JLP build me a complete engine for Pinks All Out back in May of this year. I had great success with the setup and went a personal best of 10.86 @ 127 mph (they weren't giving out timeslips at Pinks). I have been pushing for more and more without adding the bottle...

I ordered an aftermarket ram-air hood. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. Selling my stock hood minus any of the hardware (since I'll need it on the new one)
$100 + shipping (or you can come pick it up)
Pulled these out since I went built. They have about 1,500 miles on them. No chipped/broken teeth, just went back to my 3.73s. Paid about $400 for the set. This is just the pinion gear and ring gear, no install kit or anything else.

I just swapped my stock coils out for Weapon X brand ones. They have 28,xxx miles on them. I don't think any of them are messed up since my truck was running fine when I pulled them.
$80 shipped for all 8
I got all of my break-in miles on the new engine, heads, cams and KB finally and this past friday I went to my local track. I'm still on the "break-in" tune that Johnny Lightning wrote and I ran a personal best of 11.98 @ 112.8!!
I'm going back to JLP Monday morning so that Johnny can...
I just got my truck back from JLP, so I have a bunch of the parts that came off for sale.
Here's the list. When I get home sunday, I will post pics. However, if you would like iphone pics, shoot me a text message at 570-217-7284. I have the parts with me here in Maryland where I'm visiting...
I was lucky enough (after trying for an hour) to be one of 470 registered racers for the 14-15 May 2010 filming of Pinks All Out at Maple Grove Raceway. I don't know if I'll be in the class they pick for the final 16, but I'm going to go and do the best I can.
If you want to get weekend...
After doing as much as I could to my stock block and Eaton, my L is now sitting at Johnny Lightning's place getting a bigger set of nuts installed.
Everything was stock except for:
- ported Eaton with quick change upper pulley
- phenolic spacer
- ported upper intake
- Accufab throttlebody...
I know what the stock gap is supposed to be. I'm getting all kinds of gap ranges, depending on who I ask. It felt like when I had my TR6s gapped at .035 my truck felt stronger. I was told to close the gap to .028 because I was getting plug blow out but now my truck feels slower.
What gap...
2 weeks ago I changed my 3.73s out for 4.10s. I broke them in like you're supposed to, accounted for them with my XCal2 and used synthetic 75W140 like the diff tag said to.
Went to the track this past Friday night. I was thinking with the 4.10s I would see an improvment in my 60' times, a...
Ok, so a friend of mine bought some new wheels from Jegs for his '02 F150 4wd. When he brought to wheels to me to have me mount and balance them, we found that 2 of his wheels were bent. It looks like they fell off the stack during shipping. He called Jegs and they told him to keep them, that...
I just pulled this off of my KB blown Jeep. I am going with an NA small block, so I don't need this anymore. I have everything that came with the kit to include the original box and installation instructions. I also have an extra 1 gallon reservoir in addition to the one that came in the kit...
Out of those that drag race and still street drive; who has changed their gears to 4.10s? I know it will help with 60' times but at what cost at the top end? Pros and cons?
I had this on my '03 L but since I am starting to drag race it more, my local track won't let me have them.
These are a true Vertical Door brand kit. I have all of the instructions and needed hardware to go with them.
I paid $1800 + shipping for these. My loss is someone else's gain...
