stock Lightnings are slow. mine ran only 13.80s @ 100 mph. some guys this time of year in the cold are can push 13.5-13.6. esp the newer 03-04s. much stronger than the 99-00.
pullied and chiped, different story.

some springs for sure for that cam. if you can get the heads cleaned up some it will help a lot. no need to change the setup for that cam.
what size tire you planning on running with that setup? dr's at the track i hope. cause if you don't. guess what, you won't stop spinning by the time you hit the 1/8 mile mark.
as far as the stock L yea i think with that setup and traction you should have him covered. but like mentioned. pullied and chipped L. well, be on your A game cause those things run hard.
