The truck is being dropped off at JDM at the end of april. 4-5 weeks and she will be running 9 sec in the 1/4. cant wait:rockon: :beer: :thumbsup:
JDM here I come
- Thread starter lightning71482
- Start date
What are they doing to it to see 9's?
Sounds like turbo or some serious amount of spray.
good luck with the build keep u posted....
JDM got a street driven truck to run 9.70's with a Whipple and a 100 shot. That oughtta do it!
Mine is there now getting close to the 9 sec mark. I am hoping to get there with my MP blower. If that is not possible I will step up to a bigger blower.

I know it is possible, but I don't think it can be 100% said that you will be there. There are tons of factors, not only in the build and design of the build, but alot to do with where, when, and how you race too. Good luck on the build and getting there. BTW, what is the quickest ET and or trap you have ran before?... Stan

Oh yeah there are a ton of factors involved. You can't just slap some shit together and go run 9's. It has to have the right components, suspension, track prep, weather, etc etc. There should be a 9 second street driven Lightning in Houston very soon.
I'd be hunting for the new Z06's if I had a 9 sec L. Good luck with it.
well right now it is just about stock but I recently came into some extra cash so I called up Ryan at JDM and talked to him and I am going to have everything built up blower, tranny, gears, suspension, new block, new tune everything and I am wanting to see9's when done but if not it should be pretty close.
What blower? Who's doing the rollcage?
True words there! Weather conditions and track prep are so important. Also the truck must be running perfectly. There is a reason only a few have gone in the 9s so far.FordFanStan said:

JDM is doing the roll cage and I am pretty sure that they are going with the whipple
Have you ever been on a track before? If you havent been even close to the nines than your gonnabe spooked quite dramatically when you get it. If your not use to the power my suggestion is to get a low boost conservative pump gas street tune, and race with that for a while before you ever think about turning up the wick... Stan
I haven't raced at a track but I have done alot of street racing so I don't think it will be that big of a deal but thanks for the warning and info.
Night and day difference between the track and any street IMO. Your going to be surprised, (in a good way I mean), I bet money on it.. Stan
