Ok here we go again with many mods which i have done to raise horsepower and torque. Since i do not plan to strip race my lightning i do wot a lot of times getting on to interstate and yes i have run some very high speeds for short distance Question?? i know i need valve body factory tech.but did not won't it to bang when it shifts almost forgot to put f in shift/ so will i be happy with FTVB my lightning is putting out about 450 hp. and 570 torque any ideals thanks for your input/

 

I don't have an answer for you TODAY,
but I should within a few days.
I got my Factory Tech last night (haven't put it in yet)
Like you, I DO NOT want to give up comfort.

To me having an 11 second Lightning with Stock Exhuast
and Stock Suspension is part of the magic I ENJOY.
The last thing I want is the tranny BANGING into gear,
however at this point I simply have no choice anymore.
I will post my results as soon as it's in. I have off til next Friday, so rest assure it'll be in soon

 

I think it's one of the best mods you can do to our trucks. Go for it. With the power you're making, if you are a heavy footed driver, you may be in the market for a moster box soon anyway. The FTVB shouldn't contribute to that though.

 

I have one question why have 450 rwhp if you dont race it?

 

If you have to ask, then you probably wouldn't understand.


LOL

 

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of power and not wanting to race it. Maybe that's just his choice.

 

You don't seem to understand they are other enjoyments we lightning owners get out of our lightnings besides racing them i hope you understand this is a special truck and it goes beyond racing ok. so here goes i love horsepower i love torque and my red 2003 lightning 406 of 4270 birthday 12-18-02 nobody fools with my truck so me and my lightning have a close bond and they are other enjoyments driving you see i don't have to race anybody you see i can beat most any body out there except other lightnings so if i please my self i am happy one reason i belong to this board is we can talk to one another and find out what works for our trucks and what don't

 

He prolly needs to the power in case of an accident.

What if hes on the highway and some ******* speeds by and almost rams him, instead he floored it to 160mph and got away from the potential accident. Thats why! lol FTVB = the best.

 

no flame intented man. I dont race my L at a track either and all my mods are for personal enjoyement since i race round track and hope to run a few nascar races next year . I dont need to race my L to get adrenaline rush its just a nice thing to have when you need a little punch. Ps watch the arca race this fall on tv at nashville superspeedway ill be in that one and a couple more but we have yet to decide which

 

Hey I was just looking @ your gallery.. That's pretty cool what you do. I know it's different from that, but my father used to race a sprint car back in the day. Actually, he sold his car to some guy and it's in the hall of fame now. He tried to get me into that circle track stuff when I was younger, and I still like it but I wanted the jr. dragster instead... lol.

 

Thanks Lean. I have been around round track racing all my life. I have raced about every type of round track car you can imagine and im only 17 and i started when i was 7. This coming year is gonna be my big year to either make it big or not so i hope all goes how we have it planned.

 

Well good luck
Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like if I got into that instead of drag racing. Oh well, it's still fun to watch though

 

I give the on the FTVB.
