A guy at work has a 91 5.0 with a new motor. It dynoed this weekend at 256 RWHP and 306ft lbs of torque. He states that this car will beat my stock Lightning and that it won't be close. What do you guys with racing experience think?

 

The only thing he has on a bolt is the weight difference, just be weiry of the nos system, if you are betting for money, they can stash that kit anywhere. No worrys

 

I'm new to L's and my 2002 is bone stock, but I say go eat his lunch.

 

Just remember, sticks are harder to launch without a lot of practice, from a roll, hang on Luthor.......

 

Actually, that should be very intresting, depending on his axle ratio. If he's running 3.73s and drag radials in the old LX body, he might have a chance. Should run mid to high 13s.

 

Dyno #'s don't mean crap to me .Their #'s vary from type of dyno to who's dyno. If the 5.0 isn't blown or stroked, you'll win. Last week I had a run with an early fox body with afr heads, 3.73's and a vortech that "dynoed" at 410 h.p. and I stayed with him till 110 mph and actually pulled on him from a roll.All I had is a JDM chip, 4# pulley and stock air box. Go figure. BTW his only time at the track was a 12.8. I say go for it.

 

Let us know how it turns out as I have a mustang and I want to get a lightning, just want to see if its worth getting rid of the mustang for, probably end up getting a Lightning

 

Thanks for the replies. I don't think he's going to take me up, though. I told him I'd race him for $100.00. But he just kept talking smack and wouldn't agree to the contest. Guess he's not as confident as he would like everyone to believe.

 

were is he? i'll come take his money. i could use it. i raced a guy in a mustang the other night and he had done some serious work, all i have is a chip and 4lb lower, i pulled on him from a roll but there was to much taffic to really go at it. mustang are hard to drive if you aren't a good driver and must suck!

 

My '01 Lightning is stock and I have yet to lose to ANY stock GT Mustang. And I've beaten quite a few that were modified.

Go for it!
