Everybody here knows Bill (hdmlnium) and his white 2000 L. JDM built the truck for him two years ago, Bill made some 10 sec passes in the truck parked it in his garage and barely used it. He called me one Day saying he wanted to sell it so we bought it. The only things we have changed on the truck since we got it from Bill has been the Front springs, added our 108mm power pipe with the SCT big air Mass Air meter, and relocated the rear shocks. So we put it on the dyno yesterday at 6 PM tuned it for the new Meter and power pipe and at 11 AM this morning we went to ATCO. We met JohnnyAC who also got his new best and Mike Bluballz who got a new best as well. I scaled HD's truck with me in it at 4782lbs there is nothing removed off the truck except the rear bumper for a roll pan. The first pass the track was too cold and I spun real bad with a 1.70 60 foot. It went a 10.40@133.53. Second pass Shaun drove, the traction was much better with a 1.51 60 foot to go a 10.23@134.08!! the truck is back in the dyno bay now. I am going to get up early tommorow morning see if I can turn the nitrous up and put MLNIUM into the 9's.

Now were talking....
It is great to see MLNIUM in such a perfect home and being used again.
When I was thinking about selling it I couldn't think of a better home for it to go.
10.23 at over 134 mph..That is making mad power for the weight of that truck. I always new she had it in her and I am very happy to see it going for 9's.
Good luck tomorrow, I would love to read or hear that MLNIUM went a 9 second 1/4.
One more thing Jim, Thanks for still calling her "MLNIUM" That means a lot...

Bill

 

Thats a shmokin run, how come Shaun allways goes faster than you????





Also part of "MLNIUM" is still alive and running around New England. Yes Bills old rims are looking awesome and doing well on my truck.

 

I wish I could go to our local track and get sum runs it but there is still a little bit of snow on the ground......

congrats on the run though!!!!

 

Awesome run Jim!!

Did you buy that truck back from the guy in Mass??

 

Yes.

Jim@JDM

 

LOL, that guy has lost a lot of $$$ on buying/selling Lightnings!!

He will want it back once you get it into the 9's!


Jim, are you at the shop? If not can you give me a call?

207-450-3494

 

WOO WHO,

CONGRATS JIM/JDM and BIll

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOKING ET

Nice driving Shaun
AWESOME JOB JIM

 

JimIII will the motor you are building for me do that man i can't wait till you get my motor done/ TOM



LIGHTNING FAST

 

I saw him up at NED at the end of the season. He was "only" running low 11's.

 

Jeff, at Tasca Ford day Don and I gave him some tips on launching and showed him a few tricks... He went from 11.1's to 10.90's after his lesson!!
He was very pleased with the truck, as he wanted a 10 second Lightning... This was the second 10 second Lightning he had owned.. he had owned my L at one point...

Even though these trucks have power enough to run 10's, it still takes a good driver to make it happen!!

Tasca Ford day was a blast btw, there were three 10 second Lightnings there, but Don and I were running in Mod Motor class and were dialed down alittle bit...

Don made it into the semi's and I made it to the finals where I ran an 11.03 on a 11.00 dial and still lost...

 

Man I wondered where that truck had been....

Jim check email....

 

Hey Jim, thanks for letting me borrow some C16 from your race trailor today. I was a little under where I needed to be and it helped make sure I did not run into a low fuel stutter after launching hard. I got 3 new bests today, 1.52 60ft. along with 10.75 ET and 127.31 MPH. The best part is they all came on my last pass of the day, and the year. WOW !!! I think I'm gonna relax for the whole Winter.

By the way, CONGRATZ on that kicka$$ 10.23 @134 MPH at full weight. That is just SICK !!!!!

 

Awesome Pass Johnny A/C!
Damn Jim You Guys Got that MLNIUM truck Kicking some serious @ss!! Good Luck In the Quest for 9's JDM.

 

Great runs Jim and Shaun. Looks like you might get a 9 second pass out of a full weight truck. Isn't competition great?
