Tomorrow...I finally get to use my lightning for what I initially purchased it for...transporting my black '65 impala to the drag strip (redline this weekend)
:nana2

I built a 'mild' stroked (+.25") 427 big block bored to 440.
2 weeks ago, I went to Yellowbelly for an initial shake down...but, as usual, somebody broke down toward the end of the night and i didn't get to run.:bs I think the last time I ran at redline DS (Royce City), it was in my 'late' turbocharged civic...("see...i told you it would handle that t3/t4...POP!...KNOCK...KNOCK...RATTLE...RATTLE...what 's that noice?"

I promised myself NO MODS for the lightning until it's paid off which seems like the year 2023.

If anyone's running out there...stop by and say wassup!



Oh yeah...my lightning (blk 2k)...it's 'pretty much' stock.
