A buddy of mine has a lightning and dynoed it at 415hp and 582 ft-lb of trq. Any estimates of what he will run at the track, both 1/8 and 1/4??? He will be on slicks, so traction is not an issue.

assuming he can pull a 1.8 minimum ( most can do that on a set of Nittos) and houston air (sucks bad right now for Ls) i say 12.50s should be easy. watch out in the cool air of the winter though! it will drop ET real fast! Ls HATE HATE HATE hot humid air.

I'd say his 1/4 times should be around 12.2 or so. A buddy of mine has a Lightning pushing 400hp/500tq and I think his best 1/4 was 12.8 or so.
