    It's been fun...

    I have had a lot of fun with my Lightning, but the time has come to let it go. After spending "who knows how much" for the sake of going fast, the time has come to sell the truck. I never made it to a 1/4 mile track, but would have liked it. It should be well into the 10's based on 1/8th mile...

    New built motor at the track

    I went to the track Sunday with a few friends and got to run my truck for the first time on my race tune. My motor was built by Arthur Todd at AVT Performance and has a KB 2.3 running 18lbs of boost on my race tune. The heads were done by JL and Arthur degreed in a set of Comp Stage 2's. I am...

    Quickest Nitto DR Pass?

    What is the fastest some of you have been on Nitto 555R Drag Radials? 1/8th and 1/4 mile? Suspension setups? I am curious because our local group is going to have a Lightning shootout. The stock motor/bolt on trucks can run their slicks and the built motor trucks have to run drag radials. All...

    Which spark plugs?

    I have an 02L and the only mod so far is a MAC cold air system with the 95mm mass air setup. This setup did make a noticable difference. I want to put plugs in tommorow but don't know which ones. The weather in SC is normally humid. Currently the temp is in the 30-50 degree range with low...

    Boost actuator and bypass questions

    I did the bypass mod per the RPM outlet instructions. Why does the supercharger whine more now at idle and slow engine speeds? I thought it only affected WOT performance. Is this a by-product of this mod? The only mod to my truck so far (only had it 2 weeks - 02' L) is the MAC filter and 95mm...
