Well, the Whipple 3.4 is on!! Definitely a nice unit although I would change several things on it. First, the directions suck! As far as everything else, I talked to AVT, and when he gets the beast to dyno it he will make the changes. The IAC is going on top. I don't like the fact that it...

I finally installed the roll ball kit that I had picked up from JJ@WMS at FFW in Richmond, VA like almost 2 years ago. Thanks for having this kit developed! The job came out very nice and I am satisfied. Now, I can be legal to run at FFW to 10.00. Any faster, in which I hope so, then I guess...

Has anybody upgraded their cams yet besides switching to the GT cams? If so, do you have any links? Thanks!!

I have been working on my fuel system a little at a time and now I am trying to figure out the best place to mount my fuel pressure regulator. It is a Magnafuel Regulator. Right now I can't really mount it like everyone else does with the Aeromotive Regulator because of the KB 2.6 charger and...

Another trick of the trade! Exhaust made 10 more horsepower through the whole power band. However, didn't get a full dyno in to see topend due to some voltage issues that are hopefully resolved. I had mentioned this idea to AVT and here is what he came up with. Sucker is loud as hell. You...

Took a quick vid of the truck running with the 2.6 KB on after some down low rpm tuning and idle tuning. The yellow car is Woody's2000 '05 GT Mustang. I haven't punched it yet due to the need to put it on a dyno to get the air/fuel at WOT right. Pretty much hit it to 4100 rpms and kept it there...

I have an '03 Lightning that I am probably going to put a T-76 turbo on. Question for you Turbo Cobra guys that still keep your rides streetable, what waste gate are you going with? I have an Turbo smart 38mm waste gate now. Thanks Ronnie

Well, I had this posted for a while on other boards, NLOC and F150 forums, and I have received a couple of PM's as to why I didn't post anything here. Well, I figured most of the genII Lightning guys belong to either or both of the other boards. Response was to still post it b/c other guys...

Anyone using this type of fuel system on their nitrous set up? If so, can you give your insight on how you plumbed it? ie: with a regulator and a return line, or no regulator and return line, what FI fuel pump, filters, etc...... I figured I run this by you Cobra guys, too, thanks Ronnie :beer:

Well, I got both of my street tune dynos done on my truck. Race tunes to follow(21 PSI). I am going down Thursday to pick up the graphs and all the datalogging sheets to post. Here are the results so far. You guys might be a little surprised! 1. Motor is fully built with stageIII heads, stage...

I have my black '03 bumper off my L for sale. It has a couple of scratches on it. It is taking up too much garage space and needs to go. Asking 100.00 dollars for it plus the shipping which is probably going to be a lot since these bumpers are heavy. Paypal accepted. Post here for 1st dibs...

Pics of my new custom made power cooler by AVT. The quality is top notch in this cooler. I like the idea that I can just snap the lid off and dump ice in instead of having to put it into a little fuel cell hole. I relocated the battery to the bed of the truck. Next in...

Well, I brought the truck down to AVT Performance about 2 and half weeks ago. A lot of progress has been made now so I'll post some pics. I can't tell you how much I can't wait to get it back. When I do, I think it will be one hell of a beast. The engine builder is very meticulous and takes...

For sale: 4C FTVB--only 10 made.(similar to a 2CR) Asking for 155.00. I take paypal. Taking off the old tranny b/c I got a BTS tranny coming. I had all the VB's made by Factory Tech and this one was awesome. You'll bark the tires in 3rd.SOLD

Well, I drove down to SC from NC today with Woody's2000 to get the motor built. Thank you Woody for coming along so I had a ride home. Would have been a long walk home! I'll probably have her back in about 3 weeks. I am getting the motor built. The heads sent off--stage III port. Stage III cams...
