Sorry to say but there isn't enough N2O in the world to beat a Lightning... The only thing close to winning is a Dodge.

i heard NASA and the Air Force got together to build a lightning killer.

even with thier calaborative efforts they still couldn't beat one. those lightning are just impossible to beat! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I know a guy who pulled the motor/tranny/rear-end out of a Lightning and put it in his Silverado and it was still over a second slower in the quarter than a stock L. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> His excuse is that he thinks the Chevy sheetmetal isn't as aerodynamic. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

just spray 150 out of the hole and pray that the other guy in the L doesnt have slicks cause then he will probably beat you.

Dual stage with slicks - 100 out of the hole, 100 more @ 3500 RPMs. You should last at least one run. Also, Make sure to get your bottle pressure as high as possible. 1000 psi wont cut it. Get it to 1200+ if possible. A big shot will drain pressure pretty fast, so at the end of the run, you won't be putting down the same power.

I think an L w/ drag radials and a few good mods would break into the 7s in the 1/8th. That would mean a mid / high 12 second 1/4 mile times.
