I got my first race in the TBSS earlier. I spotted my cousin in his Lightning.. truck has a 2 lb pulley, minor suspension work, and a tune. TBSS is bone stock. He honked it off from a 20-25 roll (wasn't really looking, just a guess) and jumped a foot.. we were pretty much dead even the whole time. I'm guessing we ran to 100 or so. We both had **** to do so we didn't get a chance to run again. I was definitely impressed. I figured he would've had me by a car or two from the mods.

 

OMFG finally aTBSS kill haha, did you see the other thread from saturday? there was a TBSS win too, just so you know. As i last remember you complaining about not seeing enough TBSS wins in the kills section

good kill thou, im surprised you beat the lighting too!

 

Good kill. I would think the L would get the win...but on the street, anything happens. Very nice. Now get some mods on that thing!

 

LOL... Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys, but we pretty much tied. Either way, I was impressed considering I'm still stock. His Lightning is a 99.

 

Of course I saw it I made like 3 of the 7 posts in that thread as well.

 

Thats sweet man. I love those things. L's are some of my favorite vehicles to. Would love to have a lightning as a DD with the formula pulling street/strip duty.

 

good kill you would think those lightnings would do better from a roll they must be heavy as ****

 

5200ish i think. Lightnings LOVE the 20 roll... Like fat kids and cupcakes.

 

I'll be fixing that soon. It will only be a TB kill though. Nice kill on the L OP.

 

5200 is way too high. 4670 listed here.. http://www.fordf150.net/specs/99ext.php .. around what a TBSS with AWD is. After thinking about it, a typical AWD SS puts down a little unde 300 HP, and I'm pretty sure he's up around at least 330, and I doubt he spun. Oh well.. I'll surely run him again, hopefully with a couple mods of my own.

 

lol @ only a TB kill. That thing on the juice will have enough to take out just about any other SUV out there. I'm looking forward to the shock and awe that thing causes.

 

your right. But whats 600 pounds anyway?!?

 

it was probably the gearing in our trucks that let you stick with him, i feel like im always in the sweet spot with these gears. plus mines a little lighter

 

I plan on ditching the jack and spare.. should help a little. E-fans, CAI, and tune will definitely help me as well.

 

yes, a tune helps a lot, especially on the shifts. i ran a stock tbss about a month or so ago and walked right past him. i didn't used to believe the small mods made much difference but i saw first hand that they do.

 

Considering that the Lightnings run mid 13's in stock form, that's freaking awesome, dude, great run! I was a little leary about the TBSS's when they first came out, but now that they've been out a while I'm seeing some very impressive things out of them. Definitely can't go wrong with one

 

I've been driving the tbss for a few weeks as I'm putting an auto in the stang. I couldn't tell you how many kills I've had. Pretty much daily I beat up on a coworkers 08 bullitt, lol. The tbss looks good on the outside and has a great motor but I don't have much else good to say about it.

 

nice. i love TBSSes they are definitely in my future

 

i put the AWD system to the test earlier in the mud. these focking tires suck ***** for anything practical.

 

haha they are street tires arent they?
