My lightning returns after 2 years, it's been molested - Lightning Forum

spyder1337 · 10-21-2009, 01:33 AM

Blew it up Jan 08, got it back yesterday!

Few details...

- MMR 900 sb
- Comp stage 2 cams
- Stock heads w/ valve job, surface cleaned, comp springs
- Whipple 2.3 (JDM group buy woot)
- 3.375 upper 8lb lower
- Stock Throttle Body
- Stock Manifolds, no cats, Flowmaster muffler
- JLP Race intercooler tank
- Even flow cooling mod (crossover)
- 60's dual 255 walbros w/ mafia and stock maf.

Dyno results (notoriously low reading dyno also)

18 psi, 16 degrees, 11.5-.7 af

570/670 Uncorrected 545/640 SAE

Track times to come following the arrival of my long bar hardware and a wideband, will be tested on stock suspension (2in shackles), and Nitto Drag Radials.

Truck feels amazing, drives flawless. Seeing 170-180 temps crusing around with the a/c on, iat2's hover between 80-110 normal driving, trans temp is 140-165 warmed up. Very pleased with the truck and the power it made as it's missing a few things most people have with their builds like this (headers, heads, tb) so I have some room to grow / left on the table still.

Pictures...

Camera died as I was on the way to do a few WOT pulls, so all I got was the exhaust, and slight driving. Definitely more interactive videos coming soon.

kidlightning5 · 10-21-2009, 05:41 AM

Sounds really good and it must be nice to be driving it again.

gmtech · 10-21-2009, 07:19 AM

Nice truck, sounds great --congrats

Scuba-Matt · 10-21-2009, 07:26 AM

Congrats
I don't put a lot of stock into dyno numbers, A dyno is a great tuning tool, the 1320 is the HP test.
Your numbers look good, my numbers on a dyno showed low too. however my 1320 times speak a different story.

02Silverbolt · 10-21-2009, 08:21 AM

Nice truck, im sure youre glad to drive it again

Like Matt, the 1/4 is the true test

spyder1337 · 10-21-2009, 08:22 AM

Yea, my old setup was dyno'd on this same dyno. Went 8.2's on just a 2.8 upper dyno'd 350/450. Track times speak the truth, it feels faster than my previous 98 cobra by a stretch.

exracr · 10-21-2009, 08:23 AM

2 freaking years... WOW you should have sent it to Casey!!

but seriously it looks

DSGGEN2 · 10-21-2009, 08:30 AM

congrats bro must be a great feeling!

lightning02 · 10-21-2009, 08:35 AM

very niceeeee!, thats the same setup i want one of these days i will have it damnit lol

MaxPower · 10-21-2009, 09:01 AM

Nice build - Ported heads and exhaust will really help out, especially with as much pulley as you're running. You'll see a LOT more HP, and it will continue to pull past 5500 RPMs. A new throttle body will also clear up some restriction on your intake... It's all part of the puzzle.
