My buddy sold his 99 for 15,000

you can get 99-00 for that price pretty easily, 02s normally go for 21+ though ! you got a good deal.

The lightning and the 03-04 cobra are two fords i would be proud to drive.

The new ones are FAST, I went heads up w/the SRT 10(Viper truck) with mine. I beat him on two runs ( he had **** for traction) but he beat me from a 50 mph roll.Do yourself a favor and run some good synthetic oil, it'll be worth it in the long run. Congrats and Enjoy!!

First thing I would do is the smallest pulley I could get!

actually the first thing i would do is put the LARGEST crank pulley i could on it. ofcourse have a custom tune for it too.

Provides better grip for the smaller blower pulley and spins it faster

Johnny Lightning ran 13.2 directly off the showroom floor - I want to say it was his 02.....even saw someone post a 13.1 over on the boards last year......but yes, I think 90% of people will only run a 13.5+ stock, I only ran a 13.4 with a chip and filter on my 01, but it was my first time to the track EVER

Are you talking about a Lightning? My 01 felt like it had twice as much space in the cab as my Sierra, great ride with the Bilsteins, not near as much cab noise, and pretty much great build quality.....I know you dont have a RCSB GMC/Chevy but honestly it sounds like you've never ridden in one......and yes I'm sort of talking crap about my own truck here (Sierra) but when I read that I was really suprized lol - although none of that bothers me in my Sierra, I enjoy it alot more than my Lightning, knowing its "built, not bought"

And about the pullies thing.....I know you guys are joking around but if this kid really does take your advise and goes and puts a 10lb lower pulley on - 18psi will blow up that motor the first time he lays into it. Not sure what year it is, but BEWARE of the weak rods in 01-02, I speak from experience.

about the price, my dads friend buys and sells cars. he makes a lot of money. he got it a lot chaper than what he sold it to me.he bought it at an auction he says it was a pretty rare find for an auction. about the pulley ill get maybe a 4 or 6 puond or something that will keep me from blowing it up.

what the hell are you talking about?

I had a 01 Lightning, and I was disagreeing with you about pretty much everything you said about the harsh ride, interior room etc, compared to my Sierra. The Lightning had more room in the cab, better ride, build quality etc etc....

And I agree with you that youre buying the total performance truck package. Although some people (me) would rather build up a GM truck to look and perform as well or better.

Hopefully that cleared it up.
