Im not going to give you ****. Its a hard combo to beat. If I could fit comfortably I would have bought one. I had enough of the 2 seater thing with the vette's and they at least had some room to recline.
Pulley, CAI, tune, catback and some tires should be nice I may try for my first L kill tonight. Despite the fact that my two fron tires look like a bad set of buck teeth!!!

12s are pretty easy in a Lightning. It's the 11s that start getting expensive... I'd run the thing bone stock first while the weather is good. Usually you're in the bottom 14s in warm temps and as low as high 13s when colder. Unless you run in perfect DA and are an excellent driver or use good tires. Then mid 13s is doable.

Congrats! They are cool trucks.

They CAN... They don't always though. LOL

Kinda like a Camaro Z28 CAN run 12s stock or even low 13s but I've seen my fair share in the 14s.. Damn rookie drivers. Hahaha

Good luck and let us know what it does (while it's cold)... before you tear into modding it

If they are the new models and used correctly they are good. Not perfect though. Expect to be about 2-3 10ths slower than what the meter says. I believe that's what Parish estimates on his. I figure mine varies between 1-2 10ths on avg. but I have not done enough track testing to be sure. Only twice.
