2002 Lightning??

[NeilBerry]

What Rear Wheel Horsepower should I expect from a 2002 Lightning?

[NeilBerry]

The Lightning had some good runs. I will post the results after looking at the sheets.

There were some unusual reading during the run.

1). During a transmission shift or kickdown the horsepower read 404hp. Which must have been simply been due to a torque converter recoupe.

2). The rear wheels were able to reach 170 mph. Probably not a real world situation.

Can you post a dyno sheet? Sounds like you did good.

You can see on my sig that with just a diablo sport chip and a k&n panel filter I turned the dyno at 375 and 449.

SVT,

You made 375rwhp with no pully, on stock boost??

That was with just a chip and filter correct?

Sounds like im ready for a chip!!!

Still want to know what my 03L will put down stock.

[svtlightning2k1]

Yep thats right but with a 2# upper, 2# lower and full exhaust I only picked up 25 hp and 51 tq. Adding the LT's drops about a pound of boost so after the dyno I drilled some holes in the stock air box. I have yet to test it out. I just dont want to pay the money for a cold air kit or get rid of my stock air box. I like the way it looks and dont want to lose the badge on it.
