305 h.o.

I had just got off of work to day and was heading to the house and came across a black lightning truck. Damn, I said to my self, well i had to pass him in order to make my turn a head of him, so i pulled along side to pass him and like the usual hot head he wouldnt let me by, he would simply match my speed so i couldnt pass him, just waiting for me to run him. So by now i just said forget the turn im just going to see what he's got. We get on down teh highway and get up to about 65 and i try to pass him in the left lane and he matched my speed as i pulled along side him and so i just stayed beside him for a min then boom were off. I pulled him right at 3 and 1/2 cars before i let out. Damn, I didnt know my car was actually that quick but i just have a good setup on my little old 305. Well thats my Christmas.

he probably didn't know that he was racing you. i have a feeling he'd hand you your ***.

Hard to say, if you can better a 14.0@97-100 mph considerably than Ill believe it was a race.

Nice kill!

305 h.o.

Trust me when you hear a loud wine from a super charger you know that this dude is racing you. So you can chill with all the he probabbly not racing me deal. I have been street racing for a long *** time. Dont insult me like that again. Once again this motor is not stock any more brother. Those trucks only run 9.0's in the eith mile i sould run 8.80's on the motor.

305 h.o.

But i see where these guys are coming from. 305's are not reconized for having any horsepower potietial's. I figuered out the key to making one run, it can be done. My motor is built form stock parts form different motors (327,350,305) its just a great combonitation of parts. I didnt really believe it would work all that well but these Georgia backwoods good old boys know their stuff. So believe what you want, i know what my car will do and what it out ran.

What have you run in the quarter or 1/8?

The only advantages I see you having against a Lightning are 4.10 gears and a weight advantage but those Lightings are putting out 440FTLBS of torque so thats a hell of a good kill for your 305!

305 h.o.

hadnt had a trans that will hold up long enough to go to the track maybee in a couple of weeks i will go and see what it runs. I am not going to make any guesses right now cause i am not for sure.

wouldn't a lightning be slower from a roll though because of drag, I would imagine it having a harder time going over a hundred than a smaller lighter car.

lightnings aren't too impressive up high my brother hung with one in a stock 03 G35 from like 65-80. really short run, but I thought it shoulda pulled at least a bit.

agmobb

STOCK lightnings arent too great up top. Modded ones are a different story. I raced a lightning from 80-135 and he put about 4 car lengths on me. Not bad for
the flying brick. I saw he had a 12 second club sticker on his rear window.

joewee350

From 65 to whatever speed and you pulled 3 1/2 lengths. I dont know much about lightnings but maybe thats a bad spot for them to race from a roll. I am like most on here that find it hard to believe you pulled one by that much unless you were going 130 by the time you shut down. Nice kill regardless. You should know to put on your flame suit when mentioning the words quick and 305 in the same sentence.

You would think Lightnings are slower from a roll, but they arent. My buddies Lightning vs. my LS1 in its current condition when he was stock wasnt a blow out by any means. I got him, but only by a few cars and my car aint no slouch. Now he has a 5# lower, Predator, CAI, and I barely get him. Its a 2000, stock it went 14.0@98 and currently he runs 13.0@104 mph.

You got lucky its the street, just dont go aroud thinking this is going to be the outcome all the time.

evo_killer

There's some funny stuff in these stories.

Try mid 8's driven properly.

Mid 13's is what they do stock.

Stock the trucks are not that good at higher speeds but 65 mph is hardly high speed.

Sounds like you raced a normal f150 or a lightning clone.

i think the 305 did fine
if u hear that loud *** whine from the Ford, hes got her pegged.

2000 Ford F-150 Lightning stock, and when driven properly by Motor Trend--

"All the way down the dragstrip, this truck ran neck-and-neck with the Mustang GT--amazing performance from a 4670-pound vehicle."
so thats tellin me 14.0, 13.9 on a good day heres the link if you dont believe me http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...vt/index1.html
