There are these two trucks near my house, one a Lightning the other a modified F150 that I drive by once in a while. Well, I saw him in His Lightning driving through a parking lot so, I drove up to talk to Him about His truck. Right away he pops the hood on his '95 black Lightning to give me a look. All I could saw was HOLY COW!!!! The first thing I saw was a Vortec blower and then the list went on, and on, and on. 4" duel exhaust to 6" tips, 6" aluminum drivshaft, duel mode tranny, 1800 stall street, 3800 stall for the strip, a destroked stroker, 18#s of boost and so on. Then I asked what kind of power he was getting, His awnser, over 930HP at the REAR WHEELS!!!! Then he asked if I wanted A quick ride, I knew quick was not just a term. So, He took me out. I spent most of the time holding on to anythig I could. He started to laugh and told me to look at the accelerator pedal as he turned the dome light on. He wasn't even on the gas at all! I also got to feel what a 3800 stall felt like when he gave it some gas from a stop, this time I knew to put my head against head rest. I have to say this thing would do well in a burnout contest!! He also showed me that part of it too! His other Truck has a 2 stage nitrous system and twenty somthing pounds of boost. With the nitrous that truck dynos over 1100HP at the rear wheels!!! I'll take some pics of the trucks and dyno sheets for you guys when He gets back from a car show next week. Btw, He said the Black one runs 9's at the strip. Yehaw!!
