    Possibly the worst E.T. in the history of the SRT-10....

    16.8 at 70, and he almost crashed twice. When he figured out that his 22" tires and street tires weren't Draglites and slicks, he launched it slowly and dialed in a 13.50 and made it through the first eliminations. Thats when I left, so I didn't see anything else. This was at Pacific Raceways in...

    Gun guys: Do NOT have an ND!

    Someone I know blew a hole through his wall and the walls in the appartment next door. He went up on two felony charges, which were eventually dropped. If he hadnt hired the best attorney in the state, he would have been convicted. Total cost: $15,000.

    How do LEOs have authority to hold people at gunpoint for minor things?

    Not a dig, just wondering. I've heard officers say "we are allowed to do that to control the situation, its an oficer safety thing", but never more than that. I once saw an officer draw down on three people--one woman who was holding two car thieves while we called for police. She let the...

    What would it take to mount a fuel cell where the battery is?

    For use as an intercooler reservoir. I know about the battery relocation/NHRA rules etc. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this modification. I saw a picture once, and it looked hella trick. Would also hold more fluid and allow for icing.

    What exhaust for low rumble?

    :rockon: I like a really low rumble, not a high pitched rasp. I was thinking Dynatech long tubes and hif flow mids. No idea about which cat back. Thoughts on the matter? BTW, I like it LOUD.

    Would a 2002 Lightning 4R100 bolt into a 2001 2WD F250?

    Mechanically I think it would work fine, but what about the electrical? Anyone know the answer for sure? Might be able to get some money for my tranny and get a Monster Box to replace it. My company needs a tranny, mine is stronger than the one their truck came with and essentially new, and...

    Need help finding lightweight(<20#) wheels.

    I want some 18x9.5s. I liked the Weld Evo Axis 5, but it is only available in 18x8.5 for Fords. My tire shop says the only sources of wheels lighter than 30 some pounds are Weld and Boyd. Does anyone know of another source? Also, I want some 16x10s for slicks. Weld says a Lightning is too...

    The most evil person you ever arrested?

    Someone asked the cop shop on another forum I frequent this same question, and the thread got interesting quick. Lots of sick fellas out there. So, what's the most evil person you ever put cuffs on? At least this is a good diversion from people trying to get out of traffic tickets. :beer:

    How does nitrous work on a blown vehicle?

    Well, I know little about nitrous but would like to know more. When you use nitrous, you inject more fuel, correct? But does it have to be higher octane fuel? Could you use 15 psi from an eaton plus nitrous on 92 octane or would you have to use race gas? Any other considerations? If I get about...

    Anyone know of any ultralightweight wheels I don't have to trade a kidney for?

    I want some wheels that weigh around 20#s. 18s (for NT555r's). Welds seem a wee bit expensive :eek: Trying to find four of them for $2500 or less. Is that even possible? Anyone know of a manufacturer with decent prices? I need to switch to something lighter or I'll keep eating through my...

    Questions Re: 3V heads, four link rear and aluminum 9"

    First of all, would there be any benefit to using a 3V head like on current Triton engines on a Lightning, could it be done and would it be enough of an improvement to warrant it? Second, the idea of putting a four link rear suspension under my truck interests me. It really seems like a...

    How do I get my front plate holder off?

    Thought I would ask here before I broke something. I don't know how to get those round things off. The plastic bolts. Yeah, I know I sound drunk but I'm not. Help me please :??:

    Thinking about new brakes.....Brembo front, new rear rotors and pads.

    At 22k miles my stock brakes had to be refinished. Now, at 24k, they still fade bad, are prone to smoking and tend to fade badly. Anyway, I was thinking some drilled and slotted 14" Brembos in the front, and new vented rotors in the back with some decent pads. Yes, I know I could buy a long...

    My trucks first kill--WRX. Cliff notes at the bottom.

    My buddy was driving. My brother in the middle, I was riding shotgun. He had just installed my CAI, inlet elbow, throttle body and upper intake. I am not sure that the tune I have is stock or if the original owner left me a gift, so I haven't tuned it yet. My buddy was driving because he did the...

    Where to get my mods installed?

    WA guys, maybe you know of a place. Other guys--do I look for a speed shop or what? I don't know of anybody around here that does anything but imports or old muscle cars. I suppose I could have Ford install my pulley and such, but thats a bit expensive. No, I am not worried about the dealership...

    Does anybody know how I can swap to red interior lights and a new instrument panel?

    I would like to switch to red illumination at night. My stepmother drives a BMW, and after driving that, I am convinced that red illumination is the best. It's the easiest on the eyes, it looks good, etc. I posted about this earlier and someone said it was a matter of swapping LEDs. Anyone know...

    Difference between heads and intake manifold on Navi and 00R?

    This is the forum for 4v 5.4s I guess :) Whats the difference? I ask because I would like to put some 4V heads on my Lightning. Even if it's very expensive for the gain, just to be different. For intake manifold I know I can get one, because Kenne Bell has a blower for the Navi.

    22k miles and already getting a new wiring harness and brakes!

    Well, fortunately the wiring harness is only the one for the fog lights. The previous owner wired the fog lights to be on full time, whenever the headlights (brights included) were on. Dealership wanted $285 to fix. I'm having a coworker do it. Should be $50 or less. The big issue: I bought...

    Convert 2002 interior lights from green to red?

    Is it possible? I really hate the green that Ford uses. I am absoutely in love with red instruments like european cars have. Its easier on the eyes at night, also. I know I can get guages for an A pillar in red. What about a new instrument panel? I need to add some different guages anyway. Other...
