1:00 pm "Trucks"

For the guys that like watching "Trucks" on TNN:

They'll be modifying a 4WD into a Lightning lookalike...... with a Procharger. Sounds interesting for a grin or two.

Yeah, I was just watching the last program where they were explaining how to do a "proper" burnout in a FWD and RWD car. They did it wrong.

Instead of rolling through the water, they did the burnout in the water. The tires take forever to heat up like that.

BTW: In my area it is on at 1:30

Watched it yesterday. Interesting, but they won't run the truck until next week.

Yeah, that is what pisssed me off. I wanted to see what it had. That is still one of my options now that the L is gone. That kit sure looked easy to install. I wonder if they will upgrade the tranny or wait to grenade it later?

I was very surprised on a few things one was it used a FMU and a upgraded fuel pump. No chip no plug change so either the Fords have a great knock sensor or a very modest Timming curve. One thing it will have lean tip in problems I bet which is not a big problem just agrivating. I had the same kind of set up on my Miata M45 Eaton running 10-11psi spinning it to 17,750rpm @ redline and using water injection(methanol)a boost timming controler with bkr7e ngk to help control the detonation. I will be watching this beast to see how it does.
