After getting thumped up by a modded (cammed, blown) 1st gen Lightning a week or two ago, I've been a bit hesitant to participate in any...uh...street encounters.
Since that little escapade, I've put on a Kirban inlet bell, Poston's base lid and have been splashing some 100 octane in the tank.
Tonight, I was cruising 37 before meeting up with some of the local guys. I ended up next to a 5.0 LX coupe at a light. The car definitely had a cam and exhaust, a big monster tach on the dash and a set of Flows and probably a few other bolt-ons. Two kids in the car, they both looked over at me on their left. At the first light, it goes green, and I'm at 1-2psi. I leave very cleanly, he also comes out clean, but I'm pulling. The 'ole 200R bangs 2nd, and he's at my bumper. Into 3rd and he's about 1/2 car back. Hmmm...this TR stuff ain't so bad.
We head to the light at the bridge, make the U-turn and head back west. A girl in a turbo DSM joins the fun on the three lane road at another light. From my vantage, the DSM had a set of DR's on the front (it looked like an Eclipse GS-T), a fart pipe and some gauges. I'm in the middle lane. I saw the cross light turn yellow, and once it hits red, I brake it up to 1-2psi. On the green, I hit another perfect launch (on these crappy Dunlop D65's). Into 2nd, the DSM is about 1/2 car off my bumper and the 5.0 is in the same spot on the right side. Into 3rd, and I've creeped out to a car on the 5.0. The DSM starts to pull even, and at ~90 we shut down. A friend in his S10 SS was following, and told me the DSM ran low-14's before "a bunch of mods". I'm guessing it's faster now.
Today I ordered the Racetonix Walbro 340 kit. Once it's in, I'm going to pick up 93 and 100 octane chips and an adjustable wastegate actuator, then a set of DR's.
Now I'm a little more happy.
