My 05 gto vs 01 lightning...
- Thread starter mebetter
- Start date
10+ psi?
Upper and lower pullies?
bucking?
He might want to figure out just what he has there.
An 8lb lower and a smaller upper? That's messed up (but not for long).
My truck pulled a stock 06 GTO from a dig by a truck length up to 80ish.
So, I'd say HIS TRUCK is kind of slow.
But the whole 45 roll thing is not the L's strongest race.

something is defenitely wrong with his truck.
ya bro nothin against ur car at all.......my cuzin owns the same thing and i have my lightning mods in sig....and i can walk him fairly easy from a dig..even from say 30-50 i can...but if we are cruisin on the highway and mess around and start from say 80..its a whole new ball game
+1. Not sure why the OP is dissapointed, GTO's arent exactly lightweights. I would have thought the race to be closer would you still pulling slightly up top.
good job, and i woudnt worry if i were you since you have a nice ride.. but the L was definately lacking something. upper and lower pullies? does your friend know what pullies are on the truck? and im guessing he did some of these mods without getting it tuned which makes a huge difference on the L. tell him to get it tuned before he destroys that poor truck.
My point exactly.

Even with his truck running right you would get him on a top end race, but anything from a dig he should own at least through the 1/4. After that it's your race.
yep..
and as far as what he should run with his setup, well it all depends on what size pullies he is running.. with both upper and lower it could be numerous different setups anywhere from 3psi over stock which would be 11 and easily peg the stock gauge, up to 8lbs over stock. and the power difference would be huge. your talking a range of being able to run very low 13's possible 12's with 3psi increase all the way to very low 12's. it could be anything. he needs to measure his pullies, and register on this site to get the correct info. or just take it to a reputable tuner and have him figure it out.
To the OP good kill, your friends Lightning sounds like it is running bad. As others have said I think he should have it checked out.
nice runs
I've got to disagree.
I've raced at least 3 LS2 GTO's, and actually pulled up top by a bit. I haven't lost to one yet.
Most recent was on Friday night. 40 punch. He honks, puts a car on me instantly (I start only a bit late) I pull him in and put a bumper on by 100-105ish. My mods are in sig. His mods, unknown. It was also on a long corner (sweeping turn on the highway, nothing outlandish, don't worry) and I was on the outside lane.
