'00 Z28 Vs. '03 Lightning SVT??

**MikeSomething** · 08-01-2006, 03:12 PM

I'm not really thinkin I'm gonna pull this one off, but I just wanted some feedback on what I should expect...
I know he has upgraded pulley's and exhaust, who knows whatelse...
My mods in sig:

You should have no problem!!! I ran one of my buddys when i was stock(13.7@101) and he was stock and we were what and what. I run a 13.5@105 now and he is pullied, tuned and has a ported blower and runs the same as me!! Will be a good run i think!!

I really don't think this guy is that slow. Lightning's run w/ LS1's all the time, and I know that a $45K truck should put a hurtin on alot out there! Is that guy an '03? And I'm not sure, but is there a big diff in the SVT (Special Vehicle Team) versions?

**ss~zoso~ss** · 08-01-2006, 04:05 PM

arent they all SVT's?, but the 03's are a bit faster than 02's i've heard

I just raced my friends 03 lightning in my 03 z06 and it wasn't even close.

Probably both if he beats me from a dig. But I really don't know much about em.

Exhaust doesnt do much for these trucks really...but if he is running a 4 pound lower, which seems to be the norm, then he is pushing 12 pounds of boost and probably making just under 400 horse to the ground

How do you think a 400hp Lightning would do from a dig on street tires? Maybe if I pull off a good enough launch?

That all depends on the driver and the tires.....if a Lightining nails a good launch it can be deadly...but if he misses it is one big smoke show.....course my rwtq #s make it difficult anyways

Go from a dig if he has street tires. From a roll if he has a 4#er will be close to about 90 and then you will start pulling because those things are like a brick when they get around that speed. Should be a good race in the 1/4.

Depends what is done to the 02 L stock for stock you should take him atleast that is how it was with my 02L and my 01Z. I put on a 4# pulley, cai, chip and boost by pass and then I could take the Z when it was still stock except on the top end.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 08-02-2006, 04:22 PM

he "says" he only has an intake and exhaust, but i believe him i usualy can get a good read on people wether they are lying or not

**1959ls1** · 08-03-2006, 06:24 PM

I thought those lightings have whipple type superchargers, dont those take place of the intake?

I think that he is talking about a cold air intake.

Well, yes it is a Ford, but from what I understand, stock for stock this Ford truck runs the same ET as my Z28 man. Flowmaster sucks the big one I know, and I'm probably gonna go w/ a MagnaFlow soon.

Update: Raced him last night.

From a dig, I spun em through 1st and 2nd. He spun alil and let off like I SHOULD'VE!!!! He beat me by 3 cars. My rear street tires are bald. Time for some M/T ET Street DR's. Thee end.
