Ran a Gen 1 Lightning
Me and my friend were riding around tonight and were crusing down the street when all the sudden a Black Gen 1 Lightning pulls up besides us and revs his engine at us. Playing along, I rev back. We were pacing each other for a while and finally caught a light. The light turned green and I rolled into it, other wise I would lose traction, he is spinning for sec and then grabs traction. From about 40 I had 1/2 a truck on him, then from 40-60 he pulls me by about a nose length, then from about 60-80 I gain back another 1/2 truck length on him and would have kept pulling, but let out not wanting to go too fast. We both catch the next light and he asks me what I have in it, I say just a 4.8L with a tune, intake and exhaust He was by himself while I had a passenger and just filled my tank up with gas. I thought it was a awesome race, two cool trucks going at it! Also, he had exhaust, but not sure what else he had done, he had some stickers on his back window but I could make them out.

Nice run! A lot of folks joke about the 4.8l guys, but I'm hearing a lot of kills and good runs out of these guys lately. I sometimes miss my 4.8. Performance and 19 mpg.

351W Ls are turds untill you put a blower or turbo infront of the intake! lol. but i still have a fondness for them for some reason. the sound pretty awesome with headers and a set of mufflers though.
