that's what i though, someone i went to school with blew his motor and had one built, nothing was stock except the blower still supposedly and he was only at 450 to the wheels in Texas.


nvm just read what you posted. Nice lookin' truck, get us some videos!

 

nice

 

that is sooo sweet

 

it sick now.. awesome

 

nice!!!

 

Whipple or KB time.

Nice swap its sweet how fun with it.

 

Meh, he just spent a wholllle lotta money on the swap, i doubt he's going to drop another 6 grand for a KB or Whipple, LOL.

Good news; we are picking up the truck early this week, possibly tomorrow!

 

Are those pics at the silver lake sand dunes? In in MI also. any good wheeling spots?

 

silver lake and the mounds are about it

 

that and just 2 tracking is it than.

I have never seen your truck around here

 

I live at 7 mile and Farmington rd

send me a pic of your truck

 

Yeah that's at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes..

Well the hood needs to be wheeled out today - and tomorrow we are busy, so it looks like we are going to pick it up on Wednesday.

 

that looks awesome and ur right once the break in period is up it should be running a little more

 

Well we've had the truck for a couple weeks and lemme tell ya, its a BEAST. With almost 500 HP on tap, this thing accelerates IN OVERDRIVE, going UP A HILL, while TOWING the trailer. Its just insane.

Anyway, here are the finished pics







Dyno Vid!!!!!

That truck is bad ***!!!!!

 

Looks fantastic. I just noticed that your dads and your truck like match lol, thats really cool.

 

If you ever need any info on the motor. Just PM me. I know a little too much about gen 2 lightnings. (My 02 L is pushing 800hp now)

About the only thing I'd suggest if he's not already addressed it. Is a L&S oil seperator.

Thanks for the responses!

 

Truck looks great!

 

Mark you guys did an awesome job on that truck. Cant wait to see it at the dunes tearing it up.

 

That truck is sweet!!

 

i am in love. although i have always loved the lightning motor. that hood really sets the truck off. makes it a very nice overall package

 

Badass man, I bet it's tons of fun. Lets see the dyno graph!

 

Incredible!

Your dad makes that body style move up a couple notches in my book!

 

This is the only dyno sheet we have.



With the transfer case + tires & gears, a 25% drivetrain loss is expected. Figuring that, it is right around 475hp and 585lb-ft of tq. at the crank. After its broken in he'll be in for one last tune.
