Why are they doing the pulls in third gear? I though 4th was the one to one ratio gear and was the gear to do the pulls in. That's what I was always told and have always seen. Doesn't using a lower gear mess with the numbers due to torque multiplication?

And the point of this is?.......................... from what I see it means that we can run even with a truck that has 80 less hp?

This thread has no meaning whatsoever. I just posted it incase people were curious how the Viper V10 stacks up against ford's blown 5.4L. :D

Too bad more power doesn't necessarily=faster ;)

keep it up Mike and I'll put a hurtin on your GT2 :D

Utoh I apologize I wasnt trying to be a ****, I know it sounded that way, its just a bummer knowing a truck with almost 100hp less can get us if we screw up. sorry ddude , didnt know how it sounded till i read it again.

:D nnnnnnnnnn

Nice numbers ;)

So even a stock PCM has that dip at 2750..... :rolleyes:


Thanks for the comparison :D

The Lightning is a 4 speed auto. 3rd gear is 1:1 for them. Both trucks made pretty good numbers. My old Lightning was around those numbers when i strapped it down. Have not put the SRT on a dyno yet. But for Stinkers comment. We are 80 HP up but the Lightning has a 500-600 pound weight advantage. So that about equals it out. I really think our trucks would perform better acceleration wise with smaller lighter wheels. The stock 22's are just heavy and eat up alot of acceleration. I am trying to find a set of 20's like on the One Lap of America truck.

Don't sweat it stinker. Didn't even take it as offensive.

I'm starting to think they need an auto RC. That thing would run high 12's stock I bet. Look at how low in the 13's some are getting with the manual on this board when perfectly stock. L's usually run a best of 13.6 when stock, I mean at best. Don't ever let another L owner tell you they run better, he is full of ****. I was at the 2003 LightningFest and I swear the best any of the stock L's could run were low 14's or a 13.8

depends on weather conditions. I typically ran in the 13.6-13.8 range when stock, but was able to pull off a 13.40 followed by a 13.48 (or something in the high 13.4 range) when it was great conditions (right around 50 degree weather)

it's been stated before, but the quickest stock L was a sonic blue '03/'04 (can't remmeber which) that pulled a 13.0x (I believe the x = 7 or 8). His name is 'Band' ... he's on these boards I believe as well.

.... just my $.02 -- just to clear up some facts. but, you are right, that, similar to most SRT runs, most L's also pull mid-upper 13's, with some struggling to get out of the 14's, depending on weather/track conditions.

P.S. I also agree they need an auto RC.

Thanks utho , just wanted to make sure, thanks

Its good to see some of us can communcate, and add a little humor. I will never understand why some people have to act in a childish manor, :mad: and if it doesn't stop I will take all my toys and go home. :D

Bill.

Makes sense... :rolleyes: :) :p

Lightning owners work at Burgerking with Mikey!

can someone superimpose those pictures on top of each other with the same graph variables?

It's a PITA looking back and forth and trying to compare it.
