I would expect the next Lightning running in the low 13 or high 12 with
slicks. But what I am hearing for the 2003 that this is nothing compare to
what is coming. I banking on DC will not let this stand too much longer and
actually build a real R/T with at least 353HP versus the 5HP more than the
stock. R/T and Lightning should be in the same league as being pure street
performance and number one fastest production truck in the world.

Subject: DML: RE: Bad night at Richmond D'way, other runs
I forgot to mention that there was alot of street bikes at the track friday,
one guy had a brand new Kawasaki 1400 cc, this thing ran a 9.99 (1/4) @ 147
mph!!! WOW, I don't know much about bikes, but this bike was awesome!!
Also, there was a '99 Lighting with a computer upgrade, and some other mods
?? that ran a 13.96, with lots of wheel spin! the guy told me with traction
he runs 13.7's.

<Well it was perfect weather Friday night for racing, low 70's, and decent
humidity level.
<I was hoping for a new personal best time, and also was supposed to dyno my
truck :)
<To start with, the Dyno Jet didn't show up, ^%#$&^ Damn it!! Then, some
arse hole in a chevy <decided to oil down the starting area!!! So traction
was terrible, I couldn't get out of the
<2.05's for 60' times :(((normally in the 1.90's) really sucked!! My ET
really got hit hard, ran
<a 14.77, 14.81, and four 14.9x's !! I've run those times on radials
previously.
<What a terrible night!! I tried everything with the slicks, went from 18
psi, all the way down to <12 psi, tried launching at a lower rpm, didn't
matter, the track was just greasy.
<ahhhh, damn! Oh well, next stop for the Y2K-HEMI, South Mountain
Dragway!!!
