Default Me vs KB lightning

This was supposed to be a 3 honk and on #2 he jumped and well he got embarrassed.

The lightning is a 2.3KB built motor running about 620 rwhp

when you race a truck to over 100mph its 90% of the time gonna be ugly for the truck even with 600hp.

Yes its the power to weight ratio. I am moving a car that has a curb weight of 3250lbs a Lightning has a curb weight of 4670lbs.

My buddy who runs down liter bikes is a 1066/890 rwhp lightning and he has about 80K invested into that truck including the price of the truck. He has a Ford GT motor running twin 72 and making 25 lbs of boost.
