New Guy In Ohio

hey guys, i'm jimmy from southern ohio. i just got my 1st lightning and i love it i have always been into mustangs, so im new to this. it is an 04 with a JLP shortblock, crank pulley, cnc'd heads, long tubes, high flow mids, bassani after-cat, and traction bars. its making good power, but i can't wait to do more to it.

Welcome, sounds like your fast already (jlp)!!! I hear ya on the "wanna do more", it never ends!!! Good Luck

Welcome..........trust me you are way ahead in the power dept already!

thanks guys. the truck feels fast, but i've never had anything this heavy. the dyno sheet from JLP says 424hp 525lb ft at the tires. if i had to guess, i would say it might run some 12.20's. my last mustang ran 11.80's, naturally aspirated, and the truck doesn't feel much slower on the street. any guesses?........blksvt1 your numbers are real close. what would you say? anything is appreciated.

Welcome from the left coast

Welcome aboard. These trucks are amazing. Sounds like you got ahold of a good one too. You're most probably not too far off on your guesstimate on the track time. I'd say you'd be right around the mid 12's maybe better depending on how well you can hook up. A lot of Gen 2's make it to the National Trail Raceway for test n tunes up here in Central Ohio. 20 miles east of Columbus. I currently have my 02 in the shop finishing up a freshly built motor and looking to top it off with a 2.6H Kenne Bell. I'm guessin to be in the 11's with this set up but we'll just have to see about that. Would love to see you out at the track some time. It's always fun. Have fun with the truck and glad to see you here.

Your probably right on the money with a 12.2-12.5......you might already realize will not be like the stangs....lol

[jimmy04svt]

what gear r u running and what kind of times have you put down? you are right. it is a different world. i hope to add a ported blower, 2.7 pulley, and fuel injectors soon. it's sick to be addicted to going faster. you can't leave anything alone

[greenstang]

I didn't get to the track once last year.I'll have to try to get out this year with some L owners.
