Little low on power for a built block\ 17psi whipple. Obviously doesn't have any trans work either.

Good run though, car seems strong for just those mods!

Thanks man. The lightning dyno'd in pretty warm weather i believe and is still running the stock heat exchanger. It was nice last night though. Probably in the 40's nice dry air. The shift kit on the L was also taken off i have no idea why.
