Yeah, gonna talk to them about a few SERIOUS Lightning mods. Either them or Dante. I've known Dante for years.

Gonna talk to CPR next week.

[GT400SC]

Just got off the phone with Dustin and got a quote. About the same as other local shops. No better, no worse, right there in the ballpark and competitive.

Sounds good you gonna take lighting off the street and start driving the stang more? Sounds like you got some good ideas floating around

I dunno anymore since you clued me in on the 8.8. If I park the truck and drive the stang more, then I spend more $$$ as it runs on premium whereas the Lightning has had regular in it for 7 years.

But that's no excuse is it?

Refilling my NOS on Friday, er wait....Maybe Tuesday since it's a holiday and I'm off.

 

[blackstallion06]

I am going by there tommorow to pick up my tires. Well if you ace the truck your going to run prem gas right? I woudl expecialy while shooting nos. You know you could go the route i am with lighting up the front end of yoru stang woith skinnys and slicks add a 50 shot of NOS and you would be screaming. that way you still have your daily driver. With 4:10's in the car it would be dmn fast

 

[GT400SC]

Well, with the Lightning, yes, it would be premium fuel and about 2-3 degrees retarding on the timing if I add a 75shot of NOS.

If I put the gears in the Mustang and want to run NOS, I have to buy some expensive electronics (RPM switch-window switch) to turn the NOS on and off. On the Lightning, I used a micro switch on the throttle body that closed at WOT. Works on a mechanical TB but on the fly-by-wire, it doesn't work.

I suppose I could just go old-school and have a "button" to push when I'm at full throttle and hope for the best but that's not the best and brightest way of doing it.

I have a slightly modified tune for the Lightning retarding the timing and enrichening the fuel for NOS. But you can't drive it much on that tune so I have to upload it at the track and go back to stock to drive home.

I guess it all comes down to how much $$$ I wanna spend to not get creamed by you. LOL

 

[VP_07SRT8]

wow way of topic

 

[GT400SC]

Yeah, that's my fault. Sorry.
