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...

Anyone use the Fire & Ice Pressure controller made by NX? The perfect solution to using a bottle warmer. It is said to maintain bottle pressure for nitrous users to within 5 psi. Here is a link: http://www.nitrousexpress.com/Pages/Fire&Ice.htm Just want some feedback on it. Thanks Ronnie

Well, I put the KB on and had a new best of 12.39 @ 109.12. This was at Fayetteville Motorsports park in NC. Temps at that time were 89 degrees and it was still very humid. Mind you I am running a #4 lower and the 3.25 upper. I am running less boost then my old set up with the eaton(stock upper...

Well, I got it on. Wasn't too hard, but let me tell you, it is a PITA to lift that blower on by yourself. Cleaned the intercooler and changed the spark plugs at the same time. The intercooler was dirty, but not that dirty for 18,000 miles and actually no flaking was apparent. Wish I would have...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By any chance, does anyone know where you can get the rubber boots on the bottom of these fuel pumps from. My old ones were thrown out by mistake(D@MN, and a whole lot more cursing) and not by me either(even...

Ok, just installed twin 255 fuel pumps. At idle, I am only seeing 27 psi on the guage vs 29-30 with my stockers. Is that normal for you guys that have these? Any way to increase it or just leave it alone. Now at WOT it shoots up to about 50 right away. The old one it would shoot up to 40 at...

I already have the QA-1's for the rear. I have 2" DJM drop shackles and the second to the bottom leaf removed on my '03. I had both bottom leafs removed and didn't like it. Felt a little too loose and was a pain to put back together because the spring bolt ran out of threads on it. Now, I drag...

Will be out of the net for 6 months and just wanted to tell everyone to stay safe and thanks for posting up all the useful information and responses. :beer:

Well, I was at the track the yesterday(SUNDAY) and Bear(name on NLOC) let me use his predator to data log my run. With my mods listed in my sig. except for the fact that I switched to a #6 lower my MAF was almost pegged out. It read 4.89 volts as I heard 4.91 is really the limit that you don't...

Well, went out to the track tonight with a bunch of fellow Lightnings. We all had great times and new bests. Well, got a 12.43 @ 109.28 on slicks. I had a 1.85 60' which is actually pretty crappy and netted 7.94 @ 87.62 in the eighth. All this on my #4 lower with a tune. Rest of the mods are in...

I am by no means an expert on diagnosing(spelling?) spark plugs when I pull them out. I can tell if there is a lot of carbon build up and if the tips are fried/melted and that is it. So any help would be appreciated and these are NGK TR6's gapped@38. This one spark plug pic(sorry about such a...
