Default Baddest Lightning ive ever seen
taken from theturboforums (jwilklightning's post)


Been a long time coming, but we are in the home stretch. 25.2 full chassis Lightning. Twin GT4578 turbos on 5.4 GT block with 4-valve GT heads. Truck weighs in at 2346lbs without driver. Only a few minor things to fininsh, then we just have to wait for warm weather here in Michigan. Shot a quick video when we picked it up from wiring.




Front clip after airbrush work.

no doubt its fast but I never seemed to grasp why the hell you want to have a fast truck. They are still heavier than cars (not in this cae sicne its totally redone), still not as aerodynamic and what about the weight distribution?


Oh well looks cool anyway

To have something a Bit Different. My buddy has a mid 11 sec s10 with a old school 350 and it is kinda fun to pull next to a f-body or mustang at a light with a stock looking s-10 and pull on them. I have a 89 1500 chevy I want to put a big block in to play around town one day.
