Well I've taken the truck to the track again since my last post and the MPH has gone up a bit since first time. This time around I managed a 9.11 @ 79.09so it's up 2MPH from last time. Don't know if this had anything to do with it or not but the first time at the track it did have an exhaust leak from the manifolds so I fixed that myself with some new gaskets.
Slight rant here, if you've never done a header gasket change on a Lightning before let me tell you they are a pain, especially the drivers side with that darn EGR connection and getting to the nuts to disconnect/reconnect the Y-pipe are not the easiest things to get to. Talk about frustrating on the little things, I've worked on Mustangs and other cars for years and have never had this much frustration on just a header gasket change.
Sorry for getting on a rant there, but looks like fixing the leak helped with some power, I'll be going to the track again this weekend. Before I do I'll be doing a boost bypass and already switched over to synthetic fluids so we'll see what she nets this time around. I'm trying to get the most out of it on the radials but I'm more than likely gonna need to step up to some sticky tires since the best 60ft time I've gotten is a 1.96, but mostly in the 2.10's. I'll give an update after this weekend.
