if it's a pre '-6 stock quad cab it's a low 15 second truck bone stock I'd love to race one
you'll be fine with a 2# pulley and tune from Troyer

I have beat a few at the track most guys talk a lot of trash its too bad they cant drive, the last one I reced ran a mid 14 he got a nice view of the back of my truck. IMO they are slow unless tuned right.
thanks for your advice i just phoned troyer and got the 2 # puley upgrade, he also recommended high flow cats, but i was wondering what if i just cut my cats right out, has anyone tried doing that?
I ran a 4 door SRT10 which I beat. I didnt run away and hide but I did pull on it. Never tried a single cab short bed though.
When I went to the track with AZLOC a guy had a newer SRT10 quad cab and ran a 14.2 with catback and stock everything else. I dont know if he has traction problems with the huge 22s he had though.
I wouldn't even bother with cause like the lightning those trucks are just trailer queens.
Here's your trailer queen bud!
If your looking for practical,,,,your in the wrong forum.Stay out of the supercharger forum.
This guy bought his Lightning to tow his jeep

I use my truck to stimulate the economy. I put gas in it which creates jobs. I wash the mud off which also creates jobs. $24.00 invested in the clean up so far.
BTW gas mileage sucks. Should of got a V6.....

I'm not 100% on this, but all of the Lightning's at the local dealer (when they were new) had tow packages on them, I think it was standard. They are also rated to tow 5000 pounds. Not to bad considering my truck is only rated @ 6000 pounds.
I would really like to go to a lightning, but I need at least a supercab and 4x4. So like many others on here, I think I'll make my own
The Foose is a really nice truck, they seem to have a few around here with a not to bad price either.
Does anyone know if they have the same block and compression as the NA 5.4's?
There is no longer a factory low compression engine being made. If they did indeed lower the compression they will have done it on their own. All the truck 5.4 3 valve engines share the same internals.

i sort of took one a while back, but i think its poor driving that was his downfall. i took him off the line, and he did eventually pull on me. they have alot of umph but with a squirrelly truck and and a stick, it takes some skill to translate that power into speed....
