That V8 ranger would most likely smoke the Lightning. 360hp vs 600+!

 

HI!... FAST46TRITON : That would be 750h.p thanks. At least 500h.p on the motor and a 250h.p shot of nitros. By the way thats in a 2600lb truck.

750hp! GAdzooks! Notice how I said 600 with a + not just 600 close enough

 

750 hp, WOW! That's enough to get into the 9's. Wyldman's well over 360 hp by the way, if memory serves I think he saw something like 500 hp with the nitrous on the dyno in his Lightning, but still no match for 750 hp. Then again, the Power Ranger probably isn't a streetable daily driver either, I would imagine!

Wyldman & Neal, don't you just love how we're talking about you as if you weren't even here?!? We're all just kidding around here, we're really *not* trying to goad you two into meeting up, no way!

Hey Neal,

I just noticed you said the *front* of that truck is not lowered?
I thought both front and rear were lowered, and I really thought that this added perhaps 5-10 mph to your top speed. If only the rear is lowered, that must be having *some* effect, but wow, 135 is *really* amazing in light of your front ride height being stock.

You *are* "The HP Freak"!

Mike T,

The reason for the higher speed is the Canadian air... You all know thta the CDN gallon is larger than the US but the air here is less dense. Something about using the metric system... 8-)

Mike T,

Yes, we use imperial gallons and the metric system. Funny though, I grew up with MPH and I still refer to speed in MPH. You arn't even close to going fast unless you are going at least 100 mph.

The Form is all filled in and faxed back to you. I think I will get out and clean the contacts this weekend so I don't have to do it when I'm all excited, because the chip arrived, and screw it up.

Thanks

Dear JMC,

I guess up in Canada you guys use the Imperial gallon then, eh?

By the way, I haven't received your custom worksheet back by FAX yet, so I wanted to make sure you received it from us. As soon as we get it, we'll get your new Superchip on it's way for your 2000!
