Blown330's truck. I like it man, bravo to you for a clean execution. But, I think the most important thing, and it goes back to the original topic of the thread, is look at his fenders. F150. Not lightning. You sir, are NOT a poser. Again, nice lookin ride.

If you look at the front fender you can see that they have lightning badges on there, they even went to the expense of a new front bumper that holds the fog lenses.

I like your truck a lot more than some of the Lightnings I've seen. Did you do all the work your self?? You should start your own thread to show that off.

:bowdown: :thumbsup:

Oh yeah- everyone on here who's asked "Can I use a Lightning Supercharger on my F150" should use your truck as an example why not to. Have you had it to the track?

what really, really sucks is us "lightning posers" or "wanabes" just want a truck that looks as cool as a lightning. and most of the time they or we phuck up the truck in the process.

enter my world of being a lightning wanabe.....

it all started about three years ago at my local cruise spot (before people started getting crazy w/ ported heads and blowers). i remember stopping to park my truck w/ all the lightnings (highlight of the week) and some d1ck w/ a black lightning jumped out of his l and said "you know i eat up punks like you all the time". and i asked him what does he have, he had headers, pulley, filter, and tune... big woop! and he was all like " yeah i got about 370 480 to the wheels"... "you won't have a chance against me". being a teen w/ a complex i had to lie and play his game of whose d1ck is bigger.
soooo, i said i had 400/ 500 ( i really had about 340/450) then i popped my hood and he had never seen a setup like mine (vortech aftercooled). and he bit and believed me.
after i had won the b.s. contest he was all of a sudden real nice to me and told me i had a nice truck and how he did't want to race tonite, maybe some other time he said.

lets face facts, like corvette owners there are lots of lightning owners who are d1cks and like to pick on the slower part of the food chain.
thats cool, i guess. because of a-holes like that guy i HAD to spend a year and about 12 - 14 grand on a built motor.. the dream motor.

sorry for the long post.

so yeah you can call me a lightning wanabe...


... if you can catch me.

Hey bro, I'd let you park next to me any day of the week. Thats a sweet ride...I would like to see you actually throw the lightning front bumper cover on there to complete the truck though....then shave ALL the emblems. That would look sick.

first thanks for the compliment.
the only time i was able to run it was when i had just installed the supercharger and it ran a 13.6 i don't remember the mph. after that run i was disapointed and installed long tubes, bigger filter,msd, and tranny. after the new tune i had 410/550 to the wheels. shortly after my engine decided to visit all the other engines i sent to heaven, and i never got to run it.

thanks pimp. i was thinking about that, but thats just begging for people to talk smack. the great thing about the truck is that people get super confused when the see/ hear it. they don't know if its an L w/ f-150 badges or if its a loud f-150
