Trucks on Spike TV today

[BLUE OVAL NUT]

The 454 SS buildup was interesting and seems like a great start for the Chevy fans . I just can't wait for the Lightning buildup episode !!!!!!

 

[KduncSS]

Very interesting turbo application. Any guesses on real world numbers?????????????

 

[jdlightning33]

im curious also....but to me i cant see a cammed/heades 454 beating a turboed lighting.....any thoughts?

I didn't expect the lightning to be turbocharged, even with 5-6 psi it should produce goods numbers. The SS is expected too be 450 h.p. with the mods
done :shrug: that's a big increase !!!!!

 

[jdlightning33]

450??? they are going to gain 250 hp form heads and a cam?? wow

 

[KduncSS]

Im pretty sure they meant flywheel horsepower. My money is the Lightning will make more hp and tq. Turbos on V8s make some awesome torque. I want to see a 1/4 race though, I think it will be close.

Yeah I am curious on the outcome , I knew once they put the heads on the 454 its going to put out a lot of horsey's , the stock truck heads flowed horrible. And really if you think about it 450 horse at the crank is still slightly less then 1 horse per cubic inch.

Hopefully they run enough boost on the turbo lightning to make enough power, probably need 10 lb's or more.

When is part 4!! I cant wait to see them on the dyno and see who wins. :banana:

 

[jdlightning33]

i cant wait either!

 

[BLUE OVAL NUT]

I was hoping that this weekend was part 4 , but i guess we'll have too wait :whine: for the fun :burnout:.

 

[odoyle]

the suspense is terrible...

 

[ez112]

Yeah this is killing me. I have to see the rest of this war.

 

[jeffs]

Defineately two very cool trucks, I'd love to own either, Imagine pulling up to a newer gen lightning and possibly handing them their arse with a modded gen 1. I bet if they get boost above 8 psi on that 5.8 it will belt out over 400 rwhp and possibly 450/500 rwtq. What's everyone elses guess. I'm also counting on that Bowtie to kick some tail as well though.

 

[jdlightning33]

personaly i cant see the lightning making that much over 400/500 but we will c...i do expect the 454 to lay down some serious tq though

you know how these shows work!!! it's first the few teaser shows and then you get the rest at the end of the season.

they have to do allot of work on these trucks while filming and then after editing and allot of other hands on stuff it gets delivered to the network for airing.

I can't beleive its taking this long for the final episode! I'm dying to see what these trucks will put down.
