Finally dynoed the 03 Lightning this past saturaday.
It had 780 miles on it, mods were JLP air box, Accufab TB, 4 lb. Metco pulley, NGK tr6 plugs, boost bypass, and a Factory Tech valve body.

357 rwhp
407 rwtq

What do you guys think?
I think these numbers are a little low. I ran 13.55 @102 with 400 miles on it bone stock!!
I also have a question, the only cars I have ever dynoed were manuals, how does your dyno shop run automatics?...2nd or 3rd gear?

Thanks in advance!!

 

No chip?

Thats what will REALLY bring her to life.....

 

The numbers do seem low, but if they dynoed the truck in 2nd, then they would be about right. The proper way to dyno a Lightning is in 3rd gear (direct drive, 1:1 ratio) with the O/D turned off, and bring the truck up to 70mph, then start the sample.

 

those look like stock numbers. was that a mustang dyno?

Thats what I was wanting to hear....they dynoed it in 2nd gear. All the automatic mustangs were low also and we thought it might be due to being ran in 2nd gear.

Thanks
