bschiltz Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wowzers! Now we need vids of it driving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 I wish... the truck is not insured and only goes to shows and rarely is driven...arg. It sure sounds good though. His DD is a mustang GT and his newest project is a vega station wagon with a 302 in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Why all the oily looking smoke when it was revving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 The car had not been run in a couple weeks...I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I helped a guy put a Honda xr50 back together the other day. It had not been running for weeks, it smoked like crazy. I thought the rings were gone, but after riding it for awhile it stoped smoking completly! oh, by the way, I'd race the truck......O yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Are you seriously impressed by 400hp from a supercharged V8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 in person..yeah... we don't have many really fast cars around here...mostly ricers here... he says he is around the 460hp mark now with the smaller SC pully ...lightnings made about 400 stock. Big-phil...450ish ponies in a ~4000 lb truck is about as fast as a hot N/A Z...I would have him at the first turn even though it has hochkins suspension stuff...I have coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Big-phil...450ish ponies in a ~4000 lb truck is about as fast as a hot N/A Z...I would have him at the first turn even though it has hochkins suspension stuff...I have coilovers Actually, A friend of mine has a Lightning, and earlier this year I got beside him in my Z at a stop light. His truck is pretty much stock, and he has BEAT the crap out of it, but my Z has seen better days to. (although it's not 'slow' with the 510/280 cam, msd and LOTS of advance, and open exhast.) I could almost keep up, but not quite. We played stupid for about 5 minits down this streatch of road, and from a rolling 2nd gear start I got the jump on him a few times, but he always pulled on me in short order. Don't know what gears the lightning's run, but I think my 3;90's and 240sx 5 gear helped my Z.. either way, the lighning isn't a truck to simply be dismised IMO...

OlderThanMe Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 As in hot I was thinking BRE hot...My lightly modded L26 beat a N/A F150 5.4... the lightning 5.4 is a bit quicker though... A decent L28et powered S30Z should be able to keep up pretty well with a lightning. Maybe I'll race my buddy one day...Should be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
