Seriously though, some lightnings stock have run 13.2s Most run in the 13s.

So yeah something is weird.

Must be you're altitude or something the ones around hear seem to run 14.6- 14.2. We had a pair running 13.2s but they had drag radials, a tune, and crank pulley. When it turns off cold the fast lightnings seem to blow up. We have three sitting around right now. The dumbasses just want to by ford remans and sell them.

what would it take...????.......my truck!!!LOL!!!! I just raced one lastnight and put a hurtin' on him. The video will be up tonight or tomorrow. This guy said that he put 407rwhp and said that he wanted to run from a dig. I let's do it. Man............My first lightning kill was about 4years ago and this was when my truck was running 13.8's. This is what I thought a stock lightning ran........could be wrong...

That blue oval with 4 letters on the inside means that it is likely it wont make it to the race.

I think the guy just didn't realize that the person he got his truck from sold him a stock lightning minus the motor.
or made an f150 look like a lightning and fooled him.
