seeing that you're local and you can run faster than the lightning. when it gets back on its feet, how about a race with your car against the POS "F.O.R.D"?

by the way, here is the dyno it pulled off the bottle:
508.24rwhp/605.83ft. lbs/tq

I bet it broke the rod,thats the weak link on those...The blocks are super strong and have good pistons but the rod and the rod bolt are weak..

If he raced you and blew half way through the quater. He would still beat you by a couple bus lengths. That truck lasted 3 years on what everyone thought was instant death for that motor. But whatever

Jimmy's Lightning>your car.

I think it's funny that Meltdown baited you all and got you all riled up so you would race. I doubt he really expected to win.

Now we all know he's cool, haha.

another run is definitely in order. props to both guys for their quick cars, especially to meltdown for actually running after all that talk. my first 2 cars were fox bodies, so i can definitely appreciate that right there. nice runs.
