Just purchased a 2002 Lightning that is completely stock with 140k miles. It is in perfect conditions, no signs of having any mods added or removed. Only thing that I did ask the previous owner what kind of octane was in it and he said 89 :nono:. Truck looks perfect for having that many miles and it sounds perfect, its a blast to drive and I have definitely been enjoying it.
Yesterday a friend of mine who has a 15 v6 charger wanted to do a little spirited run, I beat him once from a dig and lost once. From a 20 roll I got him, 25 roll he got me. We did a 40 and I got him, but it wasn't by much. The times that he did get me there was absolutely no way of me catching up to him he just kept pulling. I was really disappointed with the truck getting beat by a v6 charger, I really thought it would have at least been able to keep up with an RT charger but even a v6 was too much. I did add 93 octane but it still had 1/4 of 89 so idk if the 89 is killing the performance or maybe it needs a tune up. Seems like its boosting 10psi.
