Default Another Lightning guy, not quite like the rest

Hey guys, Frank here... I've been on LS1Tech for a while, when I tried to sign up here it said somebody already had my username, so I had to dig up my password and sure enough it was the same from LS1Tech.

Long story short, I have a '02 Lightning, recently converted from the Heaton to a Precision GTS76 Turbo. I'm loving it. Tuning it is a little different, but its been a learning curve.

Anyway, only had it to the track basically 1 time since its been done, in 'street' trim on Nitto 555Rs it went 11.70@118 on 15-16psi. It was running out of injector big time on the top end, so I ditched the 42s and put some 55s in it. Now its freakin 100 degrees all the time so I'm kinda sitting back and waiting for some cooler air.

Still 100% stock longblock, and hope to set the 2nd Gen stock longblock record at KCIR in September at LightningFest. Hope it runs deep in the 10s on Bogarts/slicks in 'race trim'.

No 1320video guy got some video of it at WFC in May, but because of the sheer volume of video, I understand he couldnt get a couple runs off his video.

I'll have some vids before long though.
