Congrats on the SICK L brother!!

Do they corner great or what? You have the complete fleet!

chawkins2001

It corners and shifts way better than the E55, although it does have an aftermarket valve body, and I have yet to drive my E55 after the EC TCU tune I have already gone crazy with it, and ordered the following:

60lb Sieman Deka squirtters
twin walboro 255lph pumps
10lb lower crank pulley
Gates belt
Diablo mafia maf
magnum powers blower with 2.81 upper and idler bracket

In the spring I will top it off with a stall and take it to the track when the beast goes. You should come out, we are going to Reynolds SDR again.

I am hoping for 500HP and 600TQ, and 11 second daily driver. Here is the pic of the MP blower I picked up off lightningrodder.....




GASPAM, I am glad I did not run you, as I did not know you had EC longtubes and tune. The truck only makes 438/568 to the wheels with 3.73 gears outback, so I think I would have gotten rapped.

Congrats! My buddy has a lighting sitting in my parking lot at work for months with only 9k miles on it.
Drove it a few times and its an awesome truck.

That is a sweet MP and great list of mods! Great find.

Do you have a tune yet for the 60lb injectors and MAFia?

I had RWTD tune my KB, 60 pounders, and MAFia back in the day, but he wouldn't tune my meth injection. I just added the JLP sheetmetal intake and need a re-tune. I love this plenum though, the whine is unbelievably loud.

My mustang boys at Mos speed shop have it covered. Have you tracked yours yet dvc?

DVC

Nice. I still haven't been to the strip.

Nice. I bought one in 2000 & sold it a couple years later. I still miss the whine. I borrowed my brothers last year & it was still fun. To this day I still don't know why I sold it.

I did some cosmetics on the truck and can't wait to show the bretheran. I pulled all the bashing and pasti dipped them followed by a gloss clear coat. I then shot the two front grills with the dip followed by some more clear. I will get pics up shortly.

chawkins2001

Pasti dipped the side lightning emblems, rear svt emblem, two front grills and added a CHROME svt emblem to the front grill. I am adding front clear coners this week, and pulling the rear tails to be replaced by the solid red harley davidson tails.

DVC

Much better! I really like how the badges and grills match the wheels. Clear turns will take it to the next level. Love the stance on that Beast

Looks awesome Craig, love the look of the grills in black and the SVT badge. Clean

Ever since I saw Fast and the Furious I always wanted a lightning lol... Love the new beast Craig

chawkins2001

Thanks guys. The plasti dip gave it just the look I was after. Nice and aggressive.

Helli217

Awesome. Def the Harley tails too...I always thought those looks like tails from Pepboys for a Honda Civic. You got some good taste IMO brotha. Truck is fresh.

chawkins2001

Installed the Harley Davidson tails today.....

AKnight55

Tails look much better

chawkins2001

Thanks brotha.

Damn Nice truck! What happened to the Red Cobra Anniversary Edition? Congrats on both wish I could find some space to enjoy those cars as much as you do! Enjoy in good health and stay safe!

I can tell roots blowers and V8s seem to be your thing. I dont blame you

chawkins2001

Sold the cobra brotha. All the parts are here now for the build and I installed the front clear corners:

BenzoDoc

Sick truck my friend. All your changes have fixed any gripes I would have had!

chawkins2001

Thanks homey

Kreuzfeuer

Very classy, I'm a huge fan of all the subtle changes you've made. Should be an absolute monster.

Do you plan to leave the Saleen-esque slasher stripes on the doors?

chawkins2001

All the lightning owners kept saying, man what until you hear what a MP blower sounds like which you bought, it is God Aweful loud. So curiosity was killing me and I searched on youtube and found this, turn up your speakers homeys

Those tails look sick and I gotta get a pair!

For the clear corners check out Stealth Bulbs. Silver when off and amber when on. They're a little expensive but I've had them since '05 and they still look and work great:

Holy *****. Any more pics of your truck? That blue looks sick. I want a Lightning now.
