Considering what you have and that he is stock...your right...doesn't seem right. Are you positive he was stock?

Wow. I guess the condition of these trucks really effects them. I put 1.5-2 cars on one when I was stock from 55-110 (I thought it was 4 at the time, later informed 1.5-2 )

Lightings are nothing special from 40. If he was stock you should have pulled pretty hard

Lightnings are my favorite thing to kill in my Syclone...other then Mustangs and Cobras....

With your mods, I'm surprised you did not do better. Do you have a good tune?

stock, Lightnings aren't "all" that fast, but like the supercharged Cobras, with a couple of mods, they are whole new beasts...

my best friend's neighbor has a Silver Lightning with a Kenne Bell Throttle body, ported stock blower, not sure on the pulley size, a CAI, x-pipe/headers, and a tune.... its spins and still runs in the 7s through the 1/8th, from a roll is vicious

my ss/tc best time thru the 1/8th is 9.5 so far, that will be coming down with some track prep and warm enough weather to get traction off the line
