i have a block for free. Old used block. Mid 70's 351. Rich

Yes, I fill it up at Kroger @ 2.25 ish per gallon. Love this fuel. Rich

Change the tune, pump filter socks and fuel filter. No, heads are 4 thread heads but never had a problem with plugs blowing out. Rich

Best I've run on was on 93 octane street tune was 11.61 @123 with a 2.05 60ft. At that time it dynoed 600/600. I have not run it since the E85 tune has been put in. The but dyno says its making more power than it did on the 93 octane tune at lower boost. Rich

Hey guys, I have decided that its time to part ways with my Lightning. Money has gotten tight and this is the best thing to do. Now to the truck. 2001 Oxford White SVT Lightning, build #592 with 79,000 miles on the chassis. Mods Built 5.4 L Modular Performance Shortblock w/ approx. 25K on it Diamond Racing pistons 8.5 comp ratio Oliver billet Rods ARP hardware High volume oil pump Renegade Racing ported 2V heads. 1mm oversized valves VT stage 2 turbo cams ProTurbo Kit w/ PT76GTSH turbo (polished) Modified inlet with BA2800 MAF 3.5" to 4" downpipe to Magnaflow muffler 60# Siemon Deka Injectors Twin 255 pumps in tank Cobra R waterpump C&L upper intake SB Throttlebody Twin 16" electric fans with Spal controller 3200 Dirtydog converter with billet Cover Built Dirtydog Trans w/ 5K on it JL 54" long bars Hinged Tonneu cover (soft for removal) 03-04 rims with Goodyear tires Aem wideband gauge Autometer fuel, boost, and EGT Has Wet Okles installed (Black with Grey inserts but the passanger side inserts have ripped and begain to come off) http://www.lightningroddergallery.com/data/581/medium/Sath_Car_Show_2008_047.JPG http://www.lightningroddergallery.com/data/581/medium/Sath_Car_Show_2008_063.JPG http://www.lightningroddergallery.com/data/581/medium/Sath_Car_Show_2008_051.JPG http://www.lightningroddergallery.com/data/581/medium/Sath_Car_Show_2008_064.JPG Truck is currently tuned by me using Deltaforce tuning software on E85. I really don't want to give up my laptop. So the purchase of the software on your part will be required. I can give you all the files that I have for the truck in this software. I do have an X-cal2 that has a turbo tune installed but is for 93 octane fuel. I'm looking to get $18,000 for the truck, might consider trade and $$$$. Run it by me, what could it hurt. If interested please PM me and I can send some pictures and # to call. Thanks, Rich

Is the truboost still available? Rich

Good MPH for a high 11 with the driver mod.......keep up the good work. Rich

Beautiful car and awesome work as always. Rich

I have a buddy with an 04 STI, 18psi 93 tune and some mods. He wanted to video a run from a 55mph roll. My truck is running 13psi on E85. Enjoy. Rich

Very nice ride......what's on the plate for this car? Rich

I've made 700 @ 20 psi....at the same level I would like to see 800 or more. I've been told that this turbo flows around 114 #'s of air compared to the 91#'s my current turbo flows. 9t1GVR4, I spin my truck to around 6200 RPM. It will rev higher and still not loose power but I'm not real happy spinning a 5.4 long stroke motor that high in the RPM's. Rich

It spools fine. I see full boost by 3500 RPM. Rich

Guys, I have a chance to trade my current turbo for another unit that is larger. My question is would it be worth the trade? I currently run a PT76GTSH turbo on my lightning. It is a T-4 based turbo with a .96 AR exhaust housing. I run 15# of boost, it dynoed 600/600 at this PSI. This is on a built 5.4 L motor with ported PI heads and turbo cams. The turbo that I can trade for is: Borg Warner S478 T6 1.10 with the 83mm turbine wheel. It has a 4 inch v band flange welded on the compressor cover and comes with the other flange and clamp. I also bought and will include with the turbo: T6 Flange, 5inch DP Starter/Flange and clamp, oil feed fitting, oil drain fitting and gaskets. Do you guys think this would be a good swap for my truck? I would like to see more power at the same boost level. I also want to be able to turn up the wick later down the road. Rich

Thanks, I'll pass it on. Rich

I'm giving a friend your information to contact you. He recently got a 2010 ss camaro and said he wanted it tuned. Maybe even more power with some other mods. Rich

Some videos from the Track Day. I didn't video them so sorry for the quality.

Thanks, I'm still trying to get a handle on the turbo set-up. Its a totally different animal compared to the blower set-up I ran in the past. I only have 3 track outings behind the wheel so far. I have video of some of the runs. I'll see about getting them up. Rich

I keep from breaking my truck like the last track day I went too. Didn't run any bests, but did OK. Best of the day was 11.82@119 with a 1.85 60ft. Still working on that with the turbo. Had a fun day and it was nice to meet more people. Rich

Thats cool. See you there at the track. Maybe we can line up the Fords for a run. Rich

Car looks great Brady. Is this the vehicle that you will be bringing to the CR track day next weekend? Rich

Doubtfull.....Someone might let you borrow theres if you need 1. Rich

Paid.....Hope all goes well with my truck this time! Rich

Gotta love the Shelbys........Mad power out of the box. Rich

Nice results Brady....good looking car also. Rich

I'll probably go to this outing and see if I can break my turbo Lightning for a second time. Rich
