3 times in a row bone stock lightning performance wise. never realized how hard lightnings launch on the street. 2nd race i barely caught him on the launch but he pulled it back while i was shifting to 2nd and by 80mph he was about 5 feet ahead of my front bumper and still slowly pulling away. im starting to hate my extended cab...i let out around 85 on all 3 races because there was no getting it back. think im ready for a cam or nitrous now after that.

what kind of 60' times do lightnings pull on street tires at the track?

 

Around 1.25's...lol. Not sure exactly, but those suckers are quick for sure. I usually act like i dropped something on the floor when im in my truck and i see one look over at me...

 

My friend Kristen pulled a 1.98 on stock rubber when her lightning was bone stock down to paper plates. Her best run that night was a 13.48, not sure what her mph was though.

Now she's got a built motor and 2.4l KB making over 1100rwtq w/ a 50 shot.


I told Daniel to run his L at the track a few weeks ago lol. There were quite a few people with Lightnings that night.

 

I know with pulleys, intake, KB throttle body, exhaust and bald 555's 1.85 is what the one that I run alot is cutting.

I read your mods...what are you ashamed of? that's Dam good for a 5.3 w/those mods...

 

the best that anyone has heard of from a stock internal 5.3 ecsb. im the only to make 13's much less looking for 13.5 on stock cam/springs without forced induction, nitrous or heads. i just thought that lightnings ran around 13.8 stock also. it also irritates me because ive only been beat 2 other times on street races against trucks. one was an ssr, the 2nd was daniels other lightning and now daniels new lightning lol. i think im expecting too much out of my ecsb 5.3. time to go to a 418 and spray lol.

 

Can't win em all.

 

I don't mind losing to another member, It's the other people I hate losing to

Hmmm, i thought they would be doing a little better than 1.98. My best is a 1.90. Of course i would get spanked on the top end by them i guess. Never really ran one though, maybe its time to give it a go. I am really hoping to get into the high 13's with the new I/C. You would think it would be a given with a 1.90 60'...but not so...LOL

 

my friends lightning runs 12.7, with pulley, CAI, tuning, ONLY!! pretty fast for the mods, he is still on stock exhaust, when it was completely stock he ran a 13.5.....
