Went to the track last night, and it was about 54*. First time at the track with the lightning. Made three passes all with a full tank of gas, spare tire and trailer hitch. Look at sig for mods.

12's on your first trip..excellent!!

 

Good job!!!! It's amazing going 12's the first time out

 

I was also there in the Silver '01... got to meet a bunch of people on the boards.

Ran my best last night...but didn't get props from the track announcer!!! The announcer stated for 415cid Goose "Well thats the fastest Lightning here tonight! A 12.88" ... I guess he turned his head to my 12.75 @ 107.5 What a great launch I got too! Turned a 1.86 60' on my factory F1's with 30lbs in each!

Time to call JL soon - speed is like a drug - the more you get, the more you want!

 

Congrats. on the times. Thats awesome already in the 12's. Don't you just hate it, having to go so fast in such a small amount of time!

 

Now were Talking! 3 mods and 12's all for under a grand! JL

 

Thanx for all the help for the mid 12s, John!!

I've still got the older '01 program, and remember you saying something about sending it back once I got the 3# pulley...

I hear you've got a new program for the '01 If I FedEx it to ya beginning of next week, you think I could see it back before next Friday?

...I tell ya, last night at the track was killer! My last run, the 12.75, was such a sweet feeling! Little burnout, held it at 1100 rpms, last light turned and floored it - quick little chirp, the back end dropped and i was off like bullet! I remember passing the finish line and seeing a 99 or 00 T/A way back in my rear view - hehe!

 

Thats no problem....get it to me and we'll fix ya up! JL

 

How does Cartman say it?

"Sweeeeeeet."

 

Great runs guys....congrats

Frank

 

damn, what do i do now. i keep thinking im up here in canada far away from you guys and the tuners, and if i get the johny lightning stuff it will void my warranty, but i would sure love for the truck to be faster........................ problems, ,,,,,,,,,, problems,,,,,,,,,,,,, problems,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Lightning Al - Everything can be bolted on and off for dealer trips And the chip can be popped out, and the ECU reset (it will still show a code, but if the dealer isn't looking for it, they wont EVER know )

Under $1k and you're in the 12's with gooddriving and track conditions!

 

max have a question? when you installed the mods did you really notice the difference? can you feel it quite a bit?, thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,al

 

On my 1,000th post, I made it in to the '12s'. JL's mods and 'help'(over the phone) made it possible.

r/t....................... .777(decent poker hand-sorry r/t)
60'.................... 1.882*
1/8.................... 8.251
mph................. 84.930
1/4................... 12.882*(the time slip pic is on my earlier post)
mph................106.180

I finally got a good, long(5 secs.) burnout and 58 degree weather togeather on the same nite. Jay Lincoln's Truk-Tracks also helped plant the rear end.

Johnny, keep on testifyin' and runnin' those low 12s and high 11s.

Dan

ps: Yes, lightningal, you can feel 'it' more than quite a bit--it's the difference between night & day!

 

Sweet, Lightninrod! Wasn't seeing those #'s the best feeling? Pulling away from the guy who gave me my 12.75 time slip I let out a huge "WOO HOO!" - made him turn around, like "WTF?"

LightningAl - ditto to Lightninrod's post. You'll notice a HUGE difference, especially with just a chip and filter... I know I did.
