I was just curious to see which rack JDM were using. I look forward to hearing the comments from those who install a rack on Lightnings. Sometimes I'm the pioneer and other times I let others iron the bugs out.

All I know is that I love seeing more and more 4V setups in our trucks. I WISH I would have priced out a GT500 setup. I have a lot more than 15k in my 4V Turbo build so far. I just hope it's worth it in the long run.

Yeah, I'd like to see what it takes price wise for the entire conversion. It's tough to see if it would be worth it in the long run.

Would you have gone 2V if you could do it again?


I'm in between. Thinking of going with with either a fully built 2V longblock or the 4V GT500 conversion in the future. I guess time will tell to see how much the stock GT500 motors can handle. Either way, 2V or 4V it will be getting a 3.4 Whipple slaped on it.

im not sure the whole 4 valve swap is worth doing,,,,,,,if its a full blown (turbo) race truck then yeah its worth it. but if you want a bad azz street truck that can knock um back at the track,,,id say stick with the 2 valve

but maybe next year will be "The Year of the Turbo",,,,oh wait i meant 4 valve,,lol
