I finally bit the bullet and got my truck tuned! I chose to go with Fastlane Motorsports out of Benson, NC and I couldn't be happier. As it stands now, I have an Airaid intake, Flowmaster cat back, 2lb lower, and Fastlane's custom tune through my SCT Xcal3. She put down 391hp and 461ft lbs. Here...

Hey guys, sorry for asking this but I could not find a recent definitive answer to this question. I went to the stealership to pick up a qt. of trans fluid and the tech gave me a bottle of merc v. I am not sure what is in my truck now, and would like to know if I have anything to worry about...

I just got a refund for $2,800! Now I'm going into shock and don't know what to do with it. The truck's mods are listed in the sig, but has been running lean ever since I got it. The thought right now is to do the Competition R exhaust, 4lber, and a pro tune by a local tuner. What do you guys...

I knew I was going to lose cause I had already seen him run but dammit, I almost had him. He had a bad reaction time and mine was decent. I didn't see him till pretty much the last possible second...still funny to watch and his car sounds great, enjoy! YouTube- Lightning v. BMW M6

Went to Zmax yesterday. It was my first time running the quarter mile and my first time driving a track this professional and this nice. Best run of the day was: 13.46 @ 101.4 60' 1.95 YouTube- 2001 Ford SVT Lightning 1/4 Mile Pics courtesy of Chris Hull Photography Chris Hull Photography

My brother is looking at an 04 Cobra. There is only one problem, the carfax on the one he is looking at shows that the airbags have been deployed. We might be able to get a decent deal on the car but they are asking $23,000. Please look at the link and let me know what you guys think...

Hey guys, just thought I'd post my times from tonight's runs in case any of you were interested. This was my second time at the track, and my 3rd-5th overall runs. The track is 1/8th mile and the temp was about 70. Run 1 Time: 8.62 60 ft: 1.99 Reaction: 0.22 MPH: 84.18 Run 2 Time: 8.67 60 ft...

Has anyone tried to load a full size HD into the bed of the lightning? I have to move an 04 Road King about 600 miles one time. It weighs about 750lbs and is long enough that the rear tire would be on the open tailgate. I wasn't sure if the weight on the tailgate would harm it's hinge. The truck...

I have some money that I can either put towards the purchase of a new Harley, or should I put it into making the truck faster? There are pros and cons to both decisions obviously, but either would be awesome!

I didn't lay down any amazing times, but I had an awesome time! I was only able to run two times because it started raining, so I get to go back for free! 1/8th mile @ 85+ degrees. 1st run: 9.099 @ 81.75. Reaction was .301 and 60ft was 2.21 YouTube - First Time Drag Racing Ever 2nd...

I have read that extra boost and no tune are a deadly combo. I bought my truck a Aug 08 and haven't done anything to it. The boost gauge goes above the 10. I took it to the dyno and they said it was running too much timing, they fixed that by pulling out the old "Superchips" that was in it...
