My 2 email responses to that:
No, my ride is not yet posted, as I have been a member
about 3 days. I should have it up soon.

Sorry, I still have a few problems with it all. After
the 0-60 was off by a good bit, it looks like the mph
should be about 10 higher. And I'm still confused how
you weigh out at 3800 pounds with an engine in it.
Hell, even without an engine you won't be near 3800
pounds.
Does a "a Kenny bell flagella on with a 2!/2 upper"
mean you put on a KB? Cause I can't make heads or
tails out of that, but I will assume you have their
new blower. OK

Who did you stroker motor, I was unaware one existed.


All Lightnings have aluminum driveshafts and 3.73
gears. Stock!

Uh... blowers don't have pistons.

I suppose Intridium truley means iridium. You go with
densos? What'd you gap them at?

I would assume that someone running 10's would be
aware that 160deg thermostats are useless, as any new
engine runs best at around 180.

What else have you done to your tranny, because the
stock tranny will not hold all that power. Atleast
not for long.

Just a few questions: how much boost are you running?
What kind of 60 foot time did you get, cause you
didn't use those stock F1's didja? And who'se rods
did you use, because that is the weak spot with the
longer rods.

And how much horsepower are you running? Because no
one else can run 10's with some port and polish,
intake, and headers.

As always curious,
Matt Chambers


Second one:
Oh yes, I am also confused about this. My math isn't
perfect, but I can sense a problem.

11,320 - (K.B.) 3276 = 8,044
8,044 - (90mm Mass Air) 400 = 7644
7644 - (Single Blade Throttle) 400 = 7244
7244 - (JL Air Intake/Valve Body/Line Mod) 450 = 6996
6996 - (Iridium Plugs) 100 = 6896
6896 - (Cam) about 800 = 6096
6096 - (JDM Long Tube Headers) about 850 = 5246
5246 - (Billet Torque Convertor) atleast 1000 = 4246
4246 - (JDM Flipchip) 500 depending on program = 3746
3746 - (E-fan + waterpump) 560 = 3186
3185 - (Forged pistons) 700-800 = 2485
2485 - (NX Kit) 1000 = 1485
1485 - (Thermostat) 25 = 1460
1460 - (Boost a pump/spark) 450 = 1010

Oh, and Lightnings come with 42 pounds injectors.
Just so you know

So you had your intake, heads, throttle body,
everything else, plus a stroker motor (which usually
costs $5000 plus) and your rotating assembly balanced
and your ?blower pistons? for all under $1,000. Oh
yeah, and on the stock heads (even though ported,
stock valve springs) stock tranny, stock cats, etc and
run 10's?

Sorry, nothing adds up. 3900 pounds? 0-60? Quarter
speed? Engine costs? Oh, and install, because it
appears you have no damn idea about much other than
where the gas goes.

So where did you run 10's? What track? So you must
have a roll cage? How many points is it? How thick
is the roll cage? You have a helmet and a 5 point
seat belt right?

I'm certainly glad your the "real deal". But I'm
afraid you have seen fast and the furious too many
times, beucase even if i through my "pink slip on the
dash" I would have to repaint the whole damn thing.

I'm sorry, you can't blatantly lie about the ****
other people spend months on. Youre a ****ing liar,
don't even bother to e-mail me back, you're too full
of ****, just change your profile. So many other
people have spent hundreds more hours and thousands of
more hours on their trucks and their engines and don't
run those times. But they don't ****ing lie bout this
****. They have pride and respect. You have nothing.
Except an ugly truck.

Never really confused,
Matt Chambers

RTKILLA, even if it's your rents money, it's still better than magical money. You still have one of the crunkest L's on this site.

thats correct, but you can buy pistons made for blower/turbo/nitrous applications. sometimes called "blower pistons" or "nitrous pistons".


i still think the guy is full of BS.

There is a stroker motor in it now with the lightning block
