Well, I have a couple of somewhat planned races coming up with a 1st Gen. Lightning and a RCSB 2wd Hemi with factory 20's. I'm not too worried about the Lightning but I kinda am about the Hemi. I know it has a CAI, throttle body spacer, headers(not sure what kind), a FlowMaster complete exhaust, and possibly a Superchips handheld(not positive on this, but let's count it in anyway). So what do you guys think this thing runs? I know this may sound kinda stupid but I live in a small town and when you lose you hear about it for forever, and I really don't wanna lose. :jest:

I'm guessing 14.5 or lower, maybe high 13's. Stock he may have run 14.9-15.1, the CAI is worth maybe .1-.2, the TB spacer is worth ZERO, the headers if they're LT's are worth .3-.4 from what I've heard, the exhaust is worth .1-.2 and the SC is worth .3-.5....
My QC Hemi Ram ran a 14.98 with just the SC, stock intake and exhaust at the time.

Don't know what that Ram would run, but get it on vid. :judge:

And there is also the possiblilty that all his mods did not add up to :turd: A lot of those CAI's breathe HOT air..... no good, I have seen people with aftermarket exhaust post losses, some of those shorty headers just look good... if he did not make good choices he may actually run slower..

Otherwise I would say Ram4Pick is quite close... Those 20's are NOT going to help him but then I ran 14.30's on 20s and NO programmer....

I know another Silverado that might want to get in on some of this action....:secret2:

Hmm, it sounds like it may be pretty interesting. I know for sure that everything on the truck was already there when he bought it. As of now I'll be running a mail-order tune, Hooker Aerochamber exhaust, and an intake(probably an AFE). I have 20's they will hopefully be replaced with some DR's for the races. You guys think I'll be safe or no?

The races will be on the street from point A to point B(it is a tad bit over a 1/4 mile). I do know that one of my friends overheard him say he only runs 90 MPH from start to finish but that he gets there fast. I know for a fact that I run 93-95(98 once) MPH from start to finish with just 20's, a HPP3, and custom stock intake. I know this doesn't mean anything but it could be a little something to go by.

Tractionless, I'm working on getting the races on film, all 3 trucks will run eachother. I have seen the Lightning run and it is sweet, so it will be a good video if I can get it done! Thanks for all of the help so far everyone!

Haha Rhino, I don't think so, you guys would kill us! We do have a built 64 1/2 289 Stang that might give ya'll a good race. I actually think the hauler would take it though, that truck scoots!

Well see in my sig for my mods/times, I'd say a 14.1 to a 14.5, if he's dropping the tailgate, spare, if not and he has a hard tonneau cover he could be up to .5 slower.

Good luck kick some butt. ;)

It's time to update this thread. There will not be a video of the Hemi, he passed an off duty trooper yesterday and didn't plan on getting stopped so he bumped it on up to 110 and the wind just blew him off of the road he says. The funny thing is that he was on his way home from ordering a new F-150, I have a feeling he helped the truck blow off of the road a little. I was looking forward to that race.

I just got word yesterday that the Lightning is ordering Alum. GT40 heads, some go go juice, and a custom chip burned. All of this is being orderd today, so this race isn't looking too good.

I did have a race lined up with an extended cab 96 model Silverado (maybe older). They were going to drop a decently built 400 in it. I was kinda looking forward to this one too but I got word that he's trading the truck for a Tahoe before the motor swap.

I think I'm about to have another one lined up with a 97-98 RCSB 2wd Silverado. It has the stock 350 with a cam, heads, and some other little stuff. I think it will be a waste of time but everyone thinks it's the shit because it runs decent and it's new to town, I might run him just so they'll shut up about the truck.

I'm going to try and get some videos up of these races but it looks like it's going to be a day by day thing so you just never know..
