All I can say is that a stock Lightning has 380 hp with a SC. The Silverado SS stock has about 350 hp. I think that's kind of pathetic that the 5.4 from Ford with a SC only has about 30 hp more than Chevrolet's NA 6.0 HO.

Saw the new Roush creation. Looks a little overweight and underpowered. The time in the 1/4 was high 15's. The thing weighed in at almost 5kip for a reg cab!

Wow that Roush Piece of Crap with the boy racer stripes only runs high 15's. I can't wait to meet one on the road. That thing is way ugly IMHO.

The thing about the lightning is more it's 450lbs of torque, than it's 380 horsepower. Those things are torque monsters I'd rather have a single-cab with a Radix though
