See Twizzler it was cake to install right

As for the ET's and now running slower, has NOTHING to do with the FTVB.
The only way you can really compare the runs are if the 60fts were the same, and the temps and conditions were identical. These trucks can run miles apart based on temp and track conditions.
What was the MPH on both runs ????

and WOO HOO on the FTVB

I ran at the track for the first time this year with a FTVB and i did notice a .05 faster time but.. the air was also about 3-4 degrees colder than i ran last summer, and i figure that was the dif from last years best times.

Going through the dyno book of all the lightnings he has done there are trucks with the same mods i have, but they do not show any real difference with a full exhaust. As Big svt says and as does my tuner fords exhaust works great up to the mid and high 400 hp range.

honestly its nothing harder than changing your oil all you do is drop the trans pan drain the fluid out little by little take out like 8 bolts put in the new part put the bolts back in tighten everything up and boom your done.

i know nothing about lightnings and i did it it took about an hour cause i was going slow but a small child could do this.. give it a shot
