Default Lightning goes quicker!!!!

Had a day at santa pod on saturday and achieved yet another new PB.

12.18@113.9mph which is currently the quickest SVT lightning in europe

My aim is to be the first 11second UK lightning although there are a couple out there trying to beat me to it!!

The truck is still at full weight 2250kg so might have to see if I can loose anything to help me to that 11.

Sweet have you got the root or screw type charger?

And you have already upgraded the heat exchanger have you put a larger cooling rad in too so that you have more water in the system?

Just gonna get curious on this as ill be having to play with a 32v 4.6 at some point in the near future and they guy wants to put an uprated screw type charger on it 2.6l one if i remember right from Kenny Bell

I'm running the stock Eaton blower at the moment which I've ported but will be looking at changing to a twin screw kenne bell or a whipple at the end of the year as that will help me fine another 100hp so I can get mid to low 11's and still be usable very day to work.

I like the Kenne Bell over the whipple but then i would say that i have been to Kenney Bell's workshop lol watched them playing with a Mustang while there, and besides the Kenne Bell kit although not cheap if a total one stop package so makes life easy lol.

With the times your getting already you could always cheat and get some road legal drag radials but then if your ike me that kinda defets the object cant wait to see how you get one once you change the charger will prob see you at the pod sometime after the winter if all goes according to plan
