What do you think? A buddy of mine just got an 04 Lightning and thinks he can hand me my ***. I ran a 12.64 before the headers and tuning. The Lightning is stock. Tell me what you think the outcome will be. thanx.

As for the '04 Lightning, you'll stomp the **** out of him if he's stock and you run a 12.6 or better. It'll be a different story if he starts modding though.

Lightnings are slow compared to yours . the best stock times ive seen where like mid 14's and the best modified time ive seen was a mid 12, a 12.6-.7. So you would hand him his ***** in a box if he raced you. and now that you are no longer stock you will def. win, unless by some chance his s/c magically gets jammed then releasing, sending a super charged shock wave that just happens to give him a 11.5.

Brent, is it jamies truck, or the silver lightning. Either way you will win, just get a good launch. Good seeing you up at HPE and what did your car make. Talk to you and kenny and all of you guys later.

kenny is a retard... but the 04 vobra duck has is no joke.. he has a big mouth, no L will pull a 13.0 stock.. mid 13's for 01-present(i have never seen a L runs slower than 13.9's... but im in houston)... word to the wise, i garuantee it wont be stock than longer than a week, but that is all i will say.. i already heard the plans from duck himself, and they are quite impressive... so race him now before the truck is dumped into Strictly's hands... do it this weekend... after your tune... bc if you dont, you better ask to check under the hood

yea, not sure of a hook up, because i will more then likely be working on saturday! But either way, we can talk while your car is getting worked on. If not, i will be under chucks car installing the rest of his 12 bolt, if it arrives. Or even finishing the nitrous on the caddy or helping out with Slomaros camaro. We will see, and hope to see you here on Saturday. Good luck with racing Duck. 
BTW: how about while you are here, we install our HP2 cam for ya. 1399 for everything, not to mention we have seen more than 440 rwhp on this cam. we do install, tuning everything. including all Isky 295 springs, isky titanium retainers all seal and damper bolts. if not, we can do that another time
Have a good one

No not really, but the ****** cam is bad *** though, and we be cool to see a friend buy one. i can try and get him a deal, but they are already marked down for everything that comes in the package. Here are the cams.......
HP2 cam: .607/.591 - 228/234 - 110lsa
HP3 cam: .607/.608 - 232/238 - 112lsa
They are pretty big cams and run very well.
