dam thats pretty now i really want one, what does she do in the 1/4. all i see at my track is ls1s mustangs and rice. to bad gns sy tys, are getting rare, you never see these cars at the track anymore, guys who have them if there clean dont race them, they are just another collector car now. last time i went to the track i was the only gn out of 200 cars, now thats sad. people treated me like i was some kind of star, and my car only runs 13 1s stock. well i guess i cant blame them theres nothing like a turbo buick spooling at the tree, gives me a real rush.

Those guys our ford wizards and even they marveled at this accomplishment of a barely 10sec street truck (heavily mobbed with slicks=10.9 something). So if it's white and it has slicks be careful!!!

My buddy Mike James has a TOTALLY streetable 9 second lightning. It's a 93 and he knocked down a 9.80, bolted his street tires back on, put the baby seat back inside, and drove home...

This reminds me and I hope no one minds me adding this.....
Yesterday I was at Barnes and Noble's and seen the new Hot Rod (I think it was Hot Rod anyways). There was a guy with a totally stock appearing Silverado down to the factory tires and wheels, that runs tens!!!
He swapped in a 6L engine and did some basic stuff to the engine itself, then added a large turbo and a small nitrous shot.
What a sleeper!
If any of you get a chance check it out.

Im lending a friend my trailer so he can go to some big Lightning meet next weekend. The last time he went to the dyno it made over 600 RWHP This is no stock block,crank and rods truck and knowing him it will make well over 650 to the tire He told me the stock rods break like glass at around the 500 hp range I know he should make it well into the 10,s but its far from stock

Guy in Norfolk has one running low 11's at around 120.

around 600rwhp, built short block with a KB supercharger pushing 17.5 psi boost.

My fault, I meant the newer supercharged svt ones, they are almost a completely diff thruck then the 93. But the 93 is alot slower, stock, so your buddy mike must have hella work down to that truck. And if that is the stock 93 lighting block, i'm even more impressed, if not then, I don't really consider it a lighting at all

It's the stock lightning block, punched out to 418ci and the biggest blower that ProCharger makes.

BTW, for that silverado, check out http://www.neufamily.org/truck.html

Let the drooling commence.

Wont they have that new deal that chills th ic using the air conditioner's cooling gas? It will be driver triggered. Maybe an ac chiller will be made for TR community one day.

there is a guy in our car club with a lightning that runs low 11s and he has way more then a chip. Its not possible to make that much of a difference with a chip is it. If it is where are the ones for the turbo regals? just my 2 cents Dun
