Boost-n-Juice Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'm looking to buy an older Lightning '99-'01. Anything I should look for? Troubles with whatever? Here is one I have my eye on '00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 thier shortblocks aren't very strong once you start modifiying/pushing more boost through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Ya....about 435rwhp is the max on the stock bottom end. Upgrade the connecting rods/pistons and it will handle about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 don't the '00-'01 blow the sparkplugs out of the heads as well? Just something I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think that was an isolated problem. Do a search for any TSB's on it. I would also search blueovalnews, they may have more info if there were any problems big or small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 ive heard and seen the spark plugs blow its due to the treds being too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
