I had a 4# on my last L and am buying another L. I'm trying to decide if I should go with a 6# this time? Is it worth the worry? I've heard it only gives another 5ish HP and 10ish TQ but that the chances of blowing your motor are greater.

Any thoughts would be great!

 

Go Six

You will end up putting an upper on it anyway so just save yourself some money now!!

 

Dude,

You're killing me...what did I tell you??? The Metco 4/6 interchangeable and a chip burned for the 6 pounder. That way you can run the 6 when you want to get crazy and switch to the 4 when you're just tooling around and the burn for the 6 will insure that the 4 pound is more than safe...A/F's, timing, etc. Besides, my super-cheap dyno connection is moving to Denver...checking to see if I can get a hook-up with the new owners of the dyno.

 

666 Get it dyno tuned and let her rip

Looks like Metco makes it so you can just buy one or two ($250 for one pulley, $350 for two).

I'm thinking of going with one pulley and just leaving it, not worrying about a "race" and "street" tune. I'll probably make it to the track all of 2 times in a year!

So why is no one saying "Just go with an 8#"!!

 

Cause you'll probably pop a rod!!!!.....

 

I know, I just think it's funny because when I had my Lightning a year and a half ago, everyone was saying "if you go with a 6#, you'll pop a rod!" Now that I'm buying another Lightning, everyone is saying, "Go with a 6#!

 

Go all out and get a #10

 

i hear ya bro.....too bad my bank account can't handle the dreams i have about my L or i'd be able to run a 10#er.....hahaha

 

I ran a 8# for about 10,000 miles on my "stock block , Daily Driven, long trips w/ Many 11 second passes L " and never threw anything, except for some whippin's on some ricers.


My recommendation is the 6#. I liked the 8# for the low end torque, but it did fall off on the top end (Too much heat. lost its efficiency)

Yeah! the #10 looks like a freakin` ferris wheel on the front of the motor. What`s better is you can cool down the motor with the #10 because it acts like a fan too.

 

5lb, how come no one looks at 5lbs!!!

 

Go with 6lb. ****** changing that upper pulley!!!
