<strong> ya but i would never buy a new supercharger, not worth all that money. i'm just getting a once in a lifetime deal on one and couldnt pass it up. it just happend to be a whipple thats all.

btw, whipple does have the water injection kit dont they? isnt that like an intercooler </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Whipple has some intercooled SuperChargers, they just arent avalible for the 4.8 and 5.3's yet. I'm sure before long you'll see them out there.

There really is no way to plumb an intercooler the way the blower sits so close to the intake. Many brackets in the way. Who knows though. They have had 4 years to get it done. <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

 

i get spanked by a certain lightning by right at a second in the 1/4 every time, but, it isn't stock. the slow.8's just don't have the torque to propel these lead weights down the track. the 6/0 will be in very soon now, 4.8 popped! oops! little too much.

i think traction is a HUGE in street racing. my buddy and i always race our silverados on the street. pretti much its just a traction game, whoever catches first wins <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ....ofcourse that will change now that i no longer do the one wheel peel </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Lightning. You will have the HUGE traction problem with the whipple and 4.10s on the 18s.

 

Thunder: How much do you and your truck weigh? What year(Gen 1 or Gen 2) is the Lightning?

If it's a Gen 2(2001, 02, or 03) and he knows how to launch it, I think you'll have your hands full <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .

i think the 2002 Lightning's run a 13.7 - 13.9
bone stock.
