Tim :
I have the same train of thought... My 1/4 mile times did not improve after it got broke in, according to the numbers I was getting at the track.. But My tires do turn over easier...

PEaCE................

 

Mine is still stock (I like the engine in one piece thank you very much) and at it's best it turns 14.2's.

 

HH: You've got a 1999 L with just 700 miles and the original oil ???
Dan

 

Dont think there is much if any break in time on a roller motor...the tires defintely break in tho...as in wear out

 

I've got 4000 miles on mine right now, I changed my oil at 500 miles and every 3000 from here on out...

 

Ive had 3 99/00/02. None of mine would spin more than a little bit stock.All of my stock times including my 02 ran 13.8-13.9 I never got any better.With just chip/filter I ran a best of 12.9 on my 00 in PERFECT weather.But in regular weather I ran 12.8s with a 2lb pully.

The best bang for the buck would be chip/intake 4#pully. ANY lightning should run 12.6-7 with that set up.Ive been out of the game for 1.5 years as far as racing goes and when I was running 12.8,it was pretty respectable.when I ran 13.2 in 99 nobody could believe it . Shows ya how far the tuners and aftermarket has come.a 12 second 4800 pound truck is concidered average these days .......

 

You really outta change your oil.Just cause its got 700 miles,You should still change it "3000 miles or3 months which ever comes first.....

 

You mean some people leave these trucks stock ?
I mean, nothing....no air kit...nothing

And your right lightningquick, a 12 sec is just average

 

Mine is

 

Hey if you really like that truck so much and only have 700 mile on it .. CHANGE THE OIL or never start it....
