Full bolt on GC SRT8 vs. Built Lightning at 16lbs
Long trip down to Mexico today, but my pops and I got in a low key run.

His Jeep has CAI, full exhaust, 180 T stat, and custom dyno tune. He made 400whp/400wtq vs. my lightning which is at 16lb with meth and made 463rwhp/550rwtq.....

Vid is very short but enjoy:

Nice family time. I don't think my pop's 94' silverado would put up much of a fight.

Love that driving technique with the one hand on the wheel and the other on the camera !!!
Truck sounds awesome. I saw Jason tinkering with it the other day at the shop. That certainly can't hurt. !!! Thanks for the vid.
