Just to get a idea..i know blocks only take 440-460rwhp

Get yourself a 6psi lower pulley, port the blower, stall, some type of MAF extender, and a GOOD tune. Then add some type of traction bar, sticky tires and a ice reservoir. Lastly make sure your truck is 100% mechanically before you start to add parts to it.

There's a bunch of bolt on trucks locally, too bad most of them are slower then a turtle.

Ive bein told power on lightings is limited to about 450rwhp

 

[Pablo]

You can make much more power then 450rwhp, but it can let go anytime. On the other hand, I've seen many trucks make much more power then that and are still going on strong. For example my buddy's truck make around 480rwhp and has 130,000 miles.

Pablo what you got done to your truck? Dyno#?..i just want to be able to run 8.0

that's what i read as well. my buddy's HD blew up on him when he ran upper and lower pulley.

 

[Pablo]

I ran a 7.9 with the mods I mentioned above, my tune was set at 12* of timing with the air fuel at 11.4....sorry cant remember what the exact dyno number where. Am sure I was far from the 450hp range.

Yea, Steve it's pretty easy to make good power for a competent tuner with this mods.

 

[jessie jaramill]

I was reading about people porting midplate and the lowet intake....any good or worth it?

 

[Pablo]

I don't have neither ported. The midplate wouldn't be a big deal to port though.

 

[jessie jaramill]

Ive looked on 2nd gen lightings on here svt and seems like a ghost town lol
Im hoping to run L and atleast a 9.0 1/8 100% stock..

 

[Shopboy]

I have a friend that just ran a 8.5 on just exhaust and intake

 

[jessie jaramill]

Wow that is prettt quick.. does that include a tuner?..ill run the lighting Thursday.. hopping for 9.0

No that was without a tune just exhaust n intake just with some nt555r's I guessing the cold weather hellped a lot

 

[jessie jaramill]

Well i need a cold air intake.. on my cobra it made big improvement..would like a best in future a 7.6-7.8 with a ported eaton and bolt ons

 

[Pablo]

Ill be at Irwindale this Thursday, running my bolt on Lightning..

 

[Krwy]

My L went 8.55 with a 1.89 60 ft time at Irwindale on Hankook street tires. That was with a JLT and Magnaflow magnapacks. Never went back after all the other mods

 

[jessie jaramill]

I was thinking a cold air filter.. i wonder if same results without a cold air kit

 

[Pablo]

You probably won't see much difference with just a cai, but I would get one.

 

[jessie jaramill]

Pablo what i meant i was thinking of just installing a k&n filter cone.or should i go pay for a jlt?... or almost same gains?

 

[Pablo]

Oh sorry. I run a k&n cone filter and a c&l elbows it works for me. For a while I was running the stock plastic elbow with the k&n filter.
