If you got a new Lightning `04 model, what money no object mods would you carry out ?

 

Just copy Vinnie's list

TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'd do a JLP Cool Air Box, a SCT or Predator Tuner, 4lb Lower,
Magnum Powers Supercharger, Nitrous, Drive Shaft Loop, Line Lock, 58"Rancho Bars, FTVB, Accu-Fab TB, Denso IT22s, and go run low to mid 11's all day long while maintaing the Factory comfort and sound Level.

 

Define low to mid 11s all day long. Is that on the juice!

 

Thats why its there.

 

i think everyone has there own idea in there head of what they would do to there L if money was no object. Ihave mine

 

I'm happy with mine the way it is... For now.

 

Money no option....i rethink this list dialy lol...I would do a 32V 5.4 swap...titanium rods...custom 7:5 to 1 pistons...fully worked heads with titanium valves and like parts....sheetmetal intake1200 cfm throttle body at least and t88 full ball bearing turbo with a fully worked 4r100 and a 40 Spline Built 9in. Thats just for now...im sure in 45mins on the way home ill change something

 

Whippled and built V-10, with a active suspension AWD system.

 

A 750 hp Twin-Turbo 351C Pantera




They would look so good parked next to each other.

 

Built motor (32V, cams, oliver or carillo rods, fed mogul bearings, etc.)
monster box trans
T-76 or bigger turbo
nitrous
HRE or Fiskes
Brembo 15 inch GT brake kit
Ruslow/Hotchkis/QA1/custom suspension
Recaros, custom console, custom interior (a la SpeedJunky)
nice stereo system (lightweight)
AutoPC (why not?)
Custom CF widebody
fuel cell
all the misc bolt-ons

Basically run high-10s off spray, pull 1G on the skidpad, and enjoy the comfort of a luxo-cruiser.

Oh, and a loaded F-650 pickup conversion as a tow rig and a RS6 as a daily.

 

rip everything out, replace everything with a piece a bit lighter.

Of course the usual like seats, rims, and so forth would be as light as possible, but everything thats frame and body related would be replaced with something lighter (not sure what). Glass would all come out, again i think lexan is lighter but i dunno how optically correct it is, but so be it.

Of course you have to get extreme with it, EVERY part would have to be checked to see if it could be made of something else, or lightened in some way. Or maybe it just has a lighter alternative. I'll bet you can get window acutators that are lighter, same goes for side mirriors.

Takeing 1000lbs or so off the truck would do so much in terms of speed and handling alone. Then the fun would begin with a good set of mods to get into the 500/600 club. Oh and a rousch drop and other associated suspension work. Best served while hot.

 

Hey Rob, I like your list of goodies but without an NHRA legal 6 point roll cage, you ain't runnin' 11's all day long. You'd get one pass and then it's see you later. Believe me, I know. That's why I just had a cage put in my sled. See you at Cecil in the Fall.

 

if money were no object i would swap out the 5.4 and put a sweeeeet v-tec because they have the most h.p. per liter. then i would use my truck in drifting competitions and possibly make a lane change under an 18 wheeler!











j/k of course!
