I agree with ya on both.:cheers: The lightening is a truck I've been tryin to get a hold of. A good one considering they're all at LEAST 3 years old now. But I thought the Typhoon had a 4.3 twin turbo AWD on it...AF-Medic said:Ford lighting. A buch of aftermarket stuff out already. That things kicks azz stock. My second would be a Chevy typhoon. What ins't there to like about a 454 big block in a truck.
The typhoon and cyclone has a 4.3 intercooled turbo motor.PAPARYNO said:I agree with ya on both.:cheers: The lightening is a truck I've been tryin to get a hold of. A good one considering they're all at LEAST 3 years old now. But I thought the Typhoon had a 4.3 twin turbo AWD on it...
1968 Chevy c10 with the 328 motor and turbo 400 auto tranny. Add an LSD, slicks and a four barrel carb and you've got the beginning of a monster.PAPARYNO said:Ok guys... If you had to choose a SPARE truck to buy that you could set up for the track...which would you buy on the premise of being the easiest to mod to haul *** in the 1/4 mile?? Specifics and why..
i like the way you think :cheers:anmut said:1968 Chevy c10 with the 328 motor and turbo 400 auto tranny. Add an LSD, slicks and a four barrel carb and you've got the beginning of a monster.
carver1titan4x4 said:i have a 99 ford lightning that i tow with my titan to the track i usually keep my slicks on it that's why i dont just drive it to the track myself all i have done to it is i replaced the factory EDEN with a Kenny Bell s-charger i am pulling 9's in the 1/4 it has to be one of the quickest trucks i have ever owned or been in. the mod lists available for these thing would nake you go broke you can do anything to the things and a good thing is it's fast enough just stock so you've got a screamer off the line with these dang things
Factory EDEN? How bout an Eaton blower? How much boost are you running and what kinda 60ft's do you pull on the slicks? Who tunes your truck and are you still on the stock fuel system?carver1titan4x4 said:i have a 99 ford lightning that i tow with my titan to the track i usually keep my slicks on it that's why i dont just drive it to the track myself all i have done to it is i replaced the factory EDEN with a Kenny Bell s-charger i am pulling 9's in the 1/4 it has to be one of the quickest trucks i have ever owned or been in. the mod lists available for these thing would nake you go broke you can do anything to the things and a good thing is it's fast enough just stock so you've got a screamer off the line with these dang things
Not to be an ***, but I just want to make it right. It's a GMC Typhoon and Syclone. The Typhoon is the SUV and the Syclone is the truck.AF-Medic said:Ford lighting.

I saw several Lightnings on Autotrader today. One was modded up and was in your price range......and WHITE!!!! :cheers:PAPARYNO said:yep , I've driven a couple of lightenings!! wow.. They don't even feel like they're going that fast till you watch the speedo..
Well if anyone knows of a good low miles LIGHTENING for sale , let me know.. Preferably WHITE. I've been ready to sink another 6-7K in this TITAN(which I LOVE)but I feel the weight really makes the engine HP/TQ have to be almost ridiculous. If I put that money in a lightening... WOW!! I'm keepin my TITAN and gonna find a 1/4 mile track somewhere around here(even if I have to drive a frekin few hundred miles)and see if my truck is in the 13's yet. I feel it is and according to some of the guys I've talked to in Mobile(*goin by what my times are and what I've run compared to them)... it is.. I'm hopin!! But nevertheless, I don't know the best way to spend this 7K on this Titan to make it into the lower 13's.. ANYONE???? Is there a way with another 7k into it.??
I know the lightening would just about be there stock!!
BTW.. thanks a hell of a lot TOOMNYMODS for given me the freakin FEVER on this crap.. I was happy street racin(too dangerous, especially once your truck gets a lil faster) but now that we've been goin to the track.... it's a WHOLE NEW BALLGAME!! Hell we've even thought about drivin to SO'CA' just to race with the big dogs over there... Been bitten BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD..
