Thanks for the support, I agree.

yes, it is the truck's forth engine IF you count the stock one which was removed at around 14,000 miles and resold with no problems whatsoever.
...the second motor was the one that I built, it made lots of power, ran for 6000 miles and then failed after a long day of nitrous dynoing, maybe it was the nitrous, and maybe I did something incorrectly in the assembly, as it was my first ever performance engine build, and it was definately my first 700+HP engine build.
...the third engine was a JDM motor and was a fluke thing, it developed a slight tapping noise at 2000 miles, it was a piston or a wrist pin or something, I hadn't sprayed that engine yet as it was brand new, so it certainly wasn't too much nitrous that time around.
...the fourth motor has over 5000 miles and is running great with no problems whatsoever.

What does having a roll cage have to do with the amount of nitrous or boost you can use on a engine?

 

Chris-Thanks for all of your VALUABLE info. Good luck, brother-MIKEO

 

Him and his friend mike only feel that our trucks are to be enjoyed at the track. They feel that cages should be put in EVERYTHING. Some people however like to make power and enjoy their vehicles on the street.

 

Using it is one thing, needing it is another.

You were doing what the Supra owners have been doing for years, Huge dyno numbers with limited, if any track time.

What were you out to prove? Why all the nitrous?

I remember reading the post when you had it at Sal's and something like 900tq, but hey, "I used up 6qts of oil on the way home", and I thought to myself, what was he trying to prove when he has no plans to run a flatout racetruck to begin with.

No disrespect Chris, but there are guys that are on stock blocks running mid to low 11's and I'm still befuddled as to what your reasoning was to building the "engine of doom" before you were ready to really race it legally.

As usual, masterblaster has me confused with someone else, but what would you expect from someone thats online 24/7 and owns a gen2.

Kick *** Ralphy boy!!!!! These Gen2 guys are egomanics anyway.

Steve A.

 

What's an egomanic?

I would own the hell out of you but I don't want to ruin Chris' thread and youv'e been somewhat less of a **** lately.

I've met Chris in person and he was always a nice guy. Maybe he built his motor so that he could sell his stock motor IN ONE PIECE and recoup a little money. Maybe he did the smart thing. If I had it to do over I would have put rods in my stock motor and called it a day, saved a dollar or two.

Why do you care why he sprayed it, why is a 150 shot "all that nitrous", hell that's a baby shot anymore.

Post a pic of your truck? And please get smart with me again, I'm bored,

 

Hey ninesecnothin... where is the list of people you stated earlier that are making the power Chris did 699rwhp/915ftlbs tq on a stock s/c, shot of nos, and a built block??? You like to keep making comments, but you never back up any of your claims... i believe you said ther are "plenty" of trucks... so Im still waiting to see a "few" with dyno graphs and maybe a video to back it up...

 

not that your understanding of my goals makes a difference to me, but...

I chose to use a relatively small shot of nitrous INSTEAD of going with an aftermarket blower. The KBs cost $3000, the nitrous kit cost $1000, plus I live in the hot and humid south where alot of the trucks INCLUDING the KB trucks run substantially slower in the summer, I figured the nitrous would better help to offset the poor conditions frequently present here during race season.

besides, originally I was using 50 and 100 shots, you make it sound like I was using a dual stage 500hp fogger or something... "why all the nitrous"???

I wasn't trying to "prove" anything, I was having fun enjoying my chosen hobby like most everyone else here... plus, I was shooting for a 10 second pass. regardless of it having a cage or not, regardless of it fitting your definition of a "flatout" race truck, my goal was to run a 10 second pass, and then I would have been happy turning the nitrous off and running the truck LEGALLY and WITHOUT a cage in the mid to high 11s that the truck runs without the nitrous. both of the tracks in my town allow 11.49 without a cage IHRA rules.

No disrespect Steve, but if you remember back in 2003 when I started building this truck, (maybe that's the problem, you don't remember, as it was back before YOU were even a member of this board... back when I was driving and modifying my SECOND Lightning, before you ever even owned your first!) there WERE NOT alot of, IF ANY guys running stock blocks in the mid to low 11s, hell back then 10 second passes in these trucks were still VERY few and far between. My reasoning for building the truck was to build a street truck that I would be able to use as my daily transportation and still go to the track and have fun with regularly without nitrous, and then occasionally lay down a fast number with the nitrous. I'm sorry that you can't grasp this concept, or that it doesn't fit within your personal definition of "acceptable use of MY truck". I owned a caged race mustang before this, it was fun, this time around I wanted a fast STREET vehicle.

I suppose in your mind you are being cute or clever, but to everyone else here, it's just annoying. if you have such disdain for Gen2 owners and street trucks in general, why continue to visit this board?

that's about all I've got to say on this subject, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, just like everyone else. this is a public forum, but please stop trying to hijack my thread with your minority view.

have a nice day.

sincerely,
Chris Haynie

 

Chris, dont waste your time trying to explain yourself. We all know your situation. Ninesecnothing comes on rants he knows all these other trucks that are doing these amazing things, but yet never backs up any of his claims.... He also comes on here and tries to shoot down JDM eveytime they post a new product... and everytime he gets OWNED!!!! .... So keep it up Ninesecnothing.... your bull***** is great to laugh at

 

I agree with everything E-Luz said except that he should have ended it with

"OK Chris, I'm ready to sell my ******* boy car and buy your Lightning!"

 

How about I give you a spoon, and you can eat my (__!__)... Whip find someone to get buy the Acura....

 

I think he had the same idea as me. I wanted a 10 second capable truck that I could still drive daily. My plans were to click off a 10 second pass every now and then during test-n-tune and to qualify in the mid 11's at any races I attended. Nothing wrong with that. A cage is definitely in my future though.
