superredss Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I used to own a lightning and that thing was wicked fast for a truck, bone stock too. Not doubting you but do you think it may have been a clone? I would love to have one of those trucks again, but a single cab truck right now just isn't up my alley with my son and all. And good kill too. I don't promote street racing by any means but it sure feels good sometimes, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I dont think a basic 5.4 Ford would have kept up like that, so it was not a clone. Especially in the 100+ range. I guess we can all agree he had no modifications done to it LOL.

Silverad0 SS Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 well idk about everyone else but I'm 3-0 against the three different lightnings, 5.4l with a supercharger an only 390hp.... that sucks just saying, an those races were like 1/8 miles races, top end I'm sure is a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverad0 SS Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 "no replacement for displacement" ford modular engines have about the coolest sound there is but that's where they stop. The lightning engine is a regular run of the mill 5.4 sohc when it comes to cylinder heads and cams, and I believe the short block is the same too but dot quote me. N/a to n/a a lightning would get smoked by just about anything because they have zero top end. With the blower, they have the extra mid and upper range power so they really rely on the blower where as adding a blower to an lq4 or lq9 you're adding that extra power to an already stout engine, so they just run that much better. wrong. ford motors are top end motors they rev at like 7 grand. fords run better top end. and a supercharger gives instant power, this helps with lower an mid an upper range, theres not a power band like with a turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRolled Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 You guys think with my radix and awd I can beat a stock lighting or do I gotta pulley down because some chick just picked up a grey one here in town and I wanna race her but do not want to get beat by a girl lol.

rickyrick562 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 probably you will beat her i just hate when stock lightning owners say that the only reason they lost is because im not stock. im like wtf you got a blower and so do i. even match in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm sure you can beat her. You will hole shot the hell out of a lightning. I doubt it would be that good of a race. 2 trucks at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the L is stock or near stock, you should take it out with your Radix... Definitely should walk away from a dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
