Default lightning,what

well last nite i was out at the street races and finally had a chance to run a lightning.Well we line em up,i brke stall to 2 and let a rip.The lightning was no where near close to me but i loved that whining it was makin.By the time i let out i was 3-4 cars ahead.After the run i asked the guy what he had-an intake and different pullies,so i asked to race again and the outcome was the same.

good job man. what do you have done to your tbss. L's are fast so you must have some good stuff on your ride. i like the tbss, i might have went that route if i didnt need a pickup.

3-4 car lengths is a lot for a modded L. Was he losing traction? What speed was the race up to? Wonder if he was lying about his mods?

Either way..good kill!

This L beat an SS with his "basically" stock 2000L(the slowest of the L's)

L vs Trailblazer SS

There is always discrepencies, depending on who's house(forum) it is.

thats cool, i guess it came down to the driver mod. here is a good read from someone who owns both.

Did you ever figure out your "problem" Pedro? It's been a while since I've visited this particular section but I remember you saying you ran 14.4s at the digs and yet you've beaten both a STI and a Lightning. I'm guessing you have.

yes i was told it was cause of the tune i had wasnt the right for the stuff i didnt have.I had a CAI tune but i didnt have a CAI so i was running to rich,so i just decided to return that tune and get another tune.Now i have this other tune and it is great,but i havent had time to go to the track but i will when the weather permits.
