The first fast truck I ever drove was a lightning. I wanted one for a long time then I realized I could have a Chevy for the same price and put some add ons on it. I like both trucks and especially the turbo. I bet you like the turbo over the whipple. I sure as heck do.

Thanks for the big compliment! This is what I want to get one day! This is the reason I'm here to learn what you are doing to be fast. Then I will have the best of both worlds!Originally Posted by ss wrecker
Well you have good taste that's for sure. You should put an LS1 in your lightning and see many ford guys freak out.Thanks for the big compliment! This is what I want to get one day! This is the reason I'm here to learn what you are doing to be fast. Then I will have the best of both worlds!

Funny you say that because I wanted to do a Lightning engine on the SS Clone! But No I will keep it Chevy all the way when I get to it! It will be sooner than I thought!
