I raced a newer supercharged Lightning in my Subaru. I only got him because of the AWD traction.

The newer L's are 5.4 liter Supercharged motors. They look like this....

Yea, the overhead cam 5.4's respond well to boost.
As far as trapspeed, a stock lightning can be anywhere from 98 to 102 mph or so depending on air conditions. (1/4 mile)
I'm surprised your truck doesn't run faster than that. Do you have an upgraded torque converter?

ocbaud · 08-23-2004, 07:15 PM

about 90mph trap

ocbaud · 08-24-2004, 02:57 AM

yeah, 2.73 open

i have a "house brand" TC
rated at 2500 , flash stalls at 2800.

whenever i get a new tranny(700r4) and get rid of this th350c, i'll have more choices on better brands of conveters.

A newer Mustang GT was messing with me today, and we ran from about a 45 punch. I'm not sure if it was a 5spd or auto but I pulled him fairly good.
I think they run high 90's for trap speed don't they? (stock)

ocbaud · 08-25-2004, 08:07 PM

trap speed, i dont know, but most run 14.9 stock
