Hey guys, Frank here... I've been on LS1Tech for a while, when I tried to sign up here it said somebody already had my username, so I had to dig up my password and sure enough it was the same from LS1Tech.
Long story short, I have a '02 Lightning, recently converted from the Heaton to a Precision GTS76 Turbo. I'm loving it. Tuning it is a little different, but its been a learning curve.
Anyway, only had it to the track basically 1 time since its been done, in 'street' trim on Nitto 555Rs it went 11.70@118 on 15-16psi. It was running out of injector big time on the top end, so I ditched the 42s and put some 55s in it. Now its freakin 100 degrees all the time so I'm kinda sitting back and waiting for some cooler air.
Still 100% stock longblock, and hope to set the 2nd Gen stock longblock record at KCIR in September at LightningFest. Hope it runs deep in the 10s on Bogarts/slicks in 'race trim'.

No 1320video guy got some video of it at WFC in May, but because of the sheer volume of video, I understand he couldnt get a couple runs off his video.
I'll have some vids before long though.

Shawn is getting closer with his. His motor is all together and its getting buttoned up in the truck. He's got to plumb the turbo stuff, and thats about it.
Ummm, Frank.... I take it you don't do to much street driving without a fan of any sort in there. Gotta a solution for that??

Put about 300 miles on it today. Drove it to the track (which is 100 miles from home, but I went outta the way on the way). I just cant sit in long periods of traffic. Which is fine because its not a daily driver.
I live in Searcy, AR.
Ran 7.57@94.82 tonight on F1s, 1.86 60' time. They quit holding air after that pass though... :bang: (Thats the 2nd time thats happened to me racing on F1s) I put 2 more degrees of timing in it and am still running about 15-16psi. The DA was 1635 tonight.

Thanks Parish. I've :drool: over your setup quite a bit, and I just saw enough, I had to join ya :)
That is exactly what I'm looking to do, stock longblock record. In the air last night, the MPH the truck was making, I think the power is GETTING there. I just need to get the Bogarts and get them on.
