Ive heard 320-350 it depends on the truck...go get it dynoed and see
330-340 RWHP for a stock (paper filter and exhaust included) Lightning based on what I've seen.
However, if you factor in a 18% drive train loss then you friend is close. A 10% drive train loss is closer to your guess of RWHP. I've never heard a concrete answer as to what percentage of drive train loss is typical with a Lightning... I've heard answers ranging from 15-20% :shrug:.

drive train loss u mean on how long or miles or how hard u drive it? sorry am a ROOKIE!
No, the power lost due to the transmission, drive shaft, u-joints, differential, etc.
i do not believe his question was based on flywheel, he was referring to rear wheel power.
ohh man am learning every day... well mine i guess is new it only has 34,XXX miles on it and i hardly drive it use to be a dd driver when i was in school..
now am just workng hard to get some mods in...
That was with a built motor with heads, cams, full exhaust, 8# lower, and a ported blower.
Now I have a KB 2.3 with a 10# lower and 3.0 upper. Truck is running like crap with a crap tune so no new times worth posting.
kool man are u headed to psi to get the tune?.....
Yes... and BHP (at the crank) minus drive train loss equates to RWHP (at the wheels).
For example:
380 BHP (for 01-04 Lightnings) x .15 (assuming 15% drive train loss) = 57 HP loss due to drive train.
380 BHP - 57 HP = 323 RWHP
don't need a lesson, i understand how it works. his question from the beginning was dealing with rwhp. he was then confused by the remarks of parasitic loss.:beer:
I'm not sure if he is going to travel his truck from Illinois to Houston to get tuned. But if so it will be worth it. I drove down from Fort Worth to have pat tune my truck and was worth every penny I spent. You will not be disappointed with a dyno tune from PSI. Pat and his guys do some awesome work.
mine wasnt stock on the dyno, but i put down 378rwhp and 437 rwtq
with a can sct tune, 2.8 upper and a cone filter.

yeah 00svt pat has done some trucks on some of my friends and i was shocked what he could get out of them os stock blocks..... the guy is amazing...
I had 352 or 362 rwhp completely stock. Mine was a 03.
SVTGABE thats what i thought i should be at.... nice truck:rockon:
i should be at psi soon to get my boltons.....
2004 Lightning 36k miles BONE STOCK down to the factory airfilter
