Well, after about a month of working, etc. dad finally picked up the Lightning. He got an 03 in Sonic Blue. Had 30 miles on it. I've already got his first 3 mods lined up for when I go home next. I guess he couldn't take it that I was faster at the track than he in his Dakota R/T:)

You mean LTs on my car? After all that we went through with JD? Nah, I'm gonna do 4.30 gears and then call Maximum Motorspors and empty my pocketbook.

I meant LTs on the Lightning. Your car to I guess. They arent that bad. IMO they are worth the hassle. Im gonna be taking mine off, hopefully this weekend.

I've already got his mods lined up. PSP CAI, diablo predator, and a boost bypass for now. He wants to make sure he retains his warranty. Thats why I love the predator:)

who do yall think would win between a 02 L with a chip, 6lb pulley, ported tb and intake manifold vs a 96-98 cobra with 4.10s, N/A powerpipe, and full exhaust

I think the L would walk the Cobra with traction

hobbs,
where did you get that sig

If the cobra had traction I think it would win. Either way it would be a close race. At FFW I didnt really see any L's get into the 12s, and some of em were on slicks. It all really depends on driver.

Might have to try to make it to the track and see what she will do.... I am getting my lower pulley tomorrow, should be in the high 12s. Right now according to the g-tech with just a chip, intake and a spark plug change I am hitting in the 13.18 range.
