For Chawkins and DVC......

With all this lightning talk you guys are making me miss my old one. I have owned 3 lightnings in varying yrs but this one was my pride and joy. I thought I'd share with Chawkins and DVC and of course all my other AMG car nut friends Here she is......

Built SVO 393cu Motor
Vortech SQ supercharger system 18psi
Custom Fabbed Powerstroke diesel air-to-air intercooler
AFR 205 heads
3000 stall convertor
Built "Monster Box" trans
Full exhaust with custom side dump

It was featured in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords a few years back and a valvoline commercial.

One of five custom built lightnings from a company called full effect. They were a company that was know for taking lightnings and streching them, lowering them, crew cabbing them etc. On this particular one they were responsible for the lowering, center line wheels and cervinis cowl induction hood. I ditched those street rims after a while and went to some Centerline terminator wheels for a DR setup. Yes, I mini tubbed it

Ran consistent 11.5s at about 118mph with a 1.6 60 FT. Hows that for an old farm truck boys?

dynoed 580rwhp and 625rwtq on 91 oct Enjoy!
