Im very proud of my truck,against a gt and a new lightning

Billssvt

Finally Satisfied
Well i dont talk about my races with other vehicles,until now.My 93 did good.last week a guy from work bought a GT mustang,and he wanted to run me,so we did and i walked away from him pretty good.I didnt think too much of this because i was told i should be able to beat one.But tonight i ran a new Lightning,and he didnot beat me,as a matter afact i had more top end than he did.we met at a stop light and i wasnt going to run him because i just didnot know if i could give him a good run,i was wrong.he was teaseing me ,then i said ok lets go.we ran a couple of times,and it ended up that i always had just a little more then he did.We stayed close from the start,then i would slowly pull away from him.MAN I FEEL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just had to tell someone ,i couldnt tell my wife,she just would not understand,you guys know what i mean.I got the mods off you guys on here that i have on my truck,so i want to thank you for the help you all gave me It was well worth the money i spent on the truck,supercharger and all.I wanted to be able to beat a new lightning ,MAN IT FEELS GOOD.THANKS
 
Congrats, it does feel good to beat a sports car, and a G2 L is a good bonus. I haven't run one yet but, I think I should be able to take one if its stock or very lightnly moded. Good job!
 
Nice Bill, nice

Now you want more don't ya !?!
I say you should talk to JJ and see about getting some work done to your truck. You are going to be able to make it on the 9th right?
Later man...
 
Yeah, It is nice to kill a Gen 2 with a meat grinder blower like a powerdyne. Funny thing is they can't even hear the blower and where is all that power comming from? It really screws with the the Gen 2 owners heads they come away thinking their truck is broke,lol.
Just remember a couple "gofast" mods on a Gen 2 can and will put your powerdyne powered 351 to sleep in a hurry. Do I hear intercooled Vortech? Give me a hell yeah!
BTW, I got that same warm and fuzzy last year at the track when I lined up next to a 70 Big block Chevelle with a rumpty,tumpty cam. Took him outta the hole, 60',1/8mile and across the 1/4 finish line. My son who was in the stands said the crowd was laughing their a$$e$ off, that a Ford short wide waxed a big block Chevelle. Now give me another hell ya! I guess thats my fun for the day, have to go in the garage on my day off and work on my wifes van: she has gremlins in the steering.
Later

When me and the other guy with the Gen2 were done racing we both pulled off to the shoulder and talked a little the first thing he did ask was what is under your hood,I just smiled and said its the factory motor,and he looked kinda stuned,then i told him its supercharged.Then i started telling him about this web site,and told him there was going to be a lightning get together on the 9th,and he could get details on this web site.And i am going to try to make it on the 9th,if i dont have to work.
 
Great job Bill, on the kill and the invite :) That is one of my measuring points, is that one day I want to destroy a Gen2, and maybe even do it N/A :) A great accomplishment either way.
 
Woah, Easy Brian....

You just might get what your asking for!;) J/K maybe :D
See you on the 9th and Bill, I hope you can make it. I wouldn't mind seeing that set up.

That was my original goal, to run as fast as a Gen2 on the motor. Now, I just wanna haul AZZ! I still get a kick out of the F-body guys when I wax 'em and they come over to look under the hood. They see the nitrous plate and think thats why they lost. Then I show them the bottle isnt in the truck. OUCH!! That hurts!! :D

Heck ya.Does feel good doesnt it.

LOL, I know who you are and I try to stay as far away as I can from you on Saturday nites at "The Lot" (although I am not out a lot) My truck will run much much better this season though. So maybe I wont be as scared.

If its not a big secret, what did you truck end up running last season? I remember seeing you at the Valley when it ran 8.00s.
