I was Tweeking the tune on Our H/D truck when i decided to turn it up a Notch.. Our H/D is 100% stock with the exception of our JLP Forced Air,TB,JLP LiftBars,& slicks..@ 18# of boost it went 12.3 @ 109 last week on pump gas!(Full Weight Plus a 150# bed cover!) I'm going to be taken it to Ga. This week for the NMRA. due to my lightning not being finished yet.. Well i made 10 blast with it tonight making 23# of boost!.. I know for a fact this thing will go into the 11's No Problem!.. But i think i'm going to cut it back to around 20-21# for the event..This H/D was a complete Monster @ 23#..Of course i don't expect it to take that kind of boost. but hey ive been pushing 18-19# with it everyday for about a month with no problems! and you know i'm not easy on this thing! I'm going to keep pushing the boost up so i can put 1 of my engines in it! I thought for sure 23# would have done it, but not soooooooooo. (at least not for now!).........JL

 

 

You are the man JL!

can't wait to see what that HD runs after you blow that engine and put a bigger and better one in

 

IM more curious as to how long the engine will last with a perfect tune.
With the KB beign more efficient, its got to be easier (if you can say it like that) on the motor.

 

Damn! Please take a video camera! PLEASE!

 

Wow. Thats crazy! MORE BOOST JL!

Boy, Do I feel so sysy being scare to dump mine with just a 6# pulley

 

Hey jl,
Is it the monster still alive? Or did you choose to build it up before it grenades?

all i can say is

no really thats amazing, if you think about that, your pushing the ford limit 3 times and its still alive, im impressed.

you want my spare rim? itll make a great lower pulley.

 

LOL!!!!

 

Pretty insane JL!!!! Have you considered FORGED inards??? lol

Keep us posted, I'd like to know how far the stock block will go.

 

We just changed the exhaust for the bassani system. The boost went from 23# to 19# and it feels unbelievable....Looks like i'll be taken it to National Trailways Ohio..I just can't seem to get *any* time to work on my own Lightning! But the HD is still Screaming! And is still holding together! JL

 

Anyone got a Fax # for JLP?I called but must have missed them.Now probably gone for the weekend.
Need to fax some dyno files.
