sold my flawless lightning now looking for a flawless e55 with no kicked door panels, road rash etc. I been drag racing for years and know alot of tricks that will carry over to the beast.

Which one was it on lightningrodder.com, I want to check it out

I dont think I could part ways with mine, I had two buyers look at it, and I got cold feet twice

Interesting, I was a lightning owner too!

Welcome to the boards. You will enjoy your E55 just as much, if not more. I know I have. But I do miss the insane whine of my JLP tuned Lightning

99lightning

i had the 99lightning magnum powers truck disco is my screen name

chawkins2001

Mine is a Magnum Powers beast too What was your Hp/TQ and boost sir? The MP blower is effing LOUD to boot. Scared the hell out of alot of folks by just blipping the throttle...

99lightning

my truck is stock block made 450 on the street tune with a 4lb lower. it went 11.69 at 115.5 at the track on the race tune so that was prob near 480hp or so.

99lightning

18psi when its cold out

I had my Lightning back in 01 and sold it in late 03. I had everything but a built block, and it showed when I popped a rod out of the block at the track.
JLP 6lb
JLP LTH
JLP Diablo Chip
JLP Ram Air
JLP Heat Exchanger
Bassani X-pipes


Are you guys running built blocks now with the Magnum Power supercharger? Everyone was putting Manley H-Rods to help beef up the internals and adding Kenne Bells when I left the Lightning scene. I plan to buy one back just for pure nostalgia and the ability to haul some things when I need it.

99lightning

i ran the stock block since 07 with the magnum powers and have lots of pulls on my dyno and track runs on it always ran ice in the cooler and race fuel.

chawkins2001

Yes, mine has a built block and made around 470/550 on 16psi with the MP Blower and 93 pump.

Former 2002 Lightning owner here as well. You'll love the E55! It's like a crew cab Cobra with better build quality.

I didn't know there were so many previous lightning owners on here, I used to own 2 true blue ones, (dark blue) only came out in 2002. One was modded to hell, the other was stock, welcome!
