well i got to race a 2000 lighting yesterday 30-100 and walked him by 2-3 cars. i don't know but how fast are they in the 1/4?

 

nice kill, always good to hear about a lighting goin down

 

stock they run around 13.7-13.8 in the quarter for a 2000 model year. at about 99 mph.

 

I raced one about 2 weeks ago (03 I think)

Sounded mean, so we went from the light. I pulled in well in front of him before I finished 3rd and we pulled over into a gas station after, nice truck.

I always thought they were pretty fast. The guy who does my trans work has one with a built motor and 200 shot. THAT one is fast lol.

 

I ran a 12.8 with a crap 1.8 60ft (bad tires) on my set up...... Stocker Lightnings are fast, but no match for an LS1. Modded on the other hand Good kill

 

That was a good race.

My now sold 2003 Lightning ran very well for what little I had done to it.

I put a tune to it, a Metco 4 lb. lower, MAC cai, FTVB (shift kit), 2" drop in the rear, no hitch, no jack and some water wetter in the intercooler.

I ran a 12.57@111.4 with that setup....I had $700 in the truck mod wise.

I then put a ported blower and ran a 12.61@112.8.

Way to easy to get Lightnings to run 12's...to bad they weigh what they do. Mine raceweight was 4700 lbs.

 

Good kill never ran against one of those. yet!!

 

I had a 99 with all the bolt ons and a 90 shot, 1.64 60', 1/8 7.49 @ 92 mph, 1/4 11.793 @ 114.65
