This was mentioned on another post and I was curious about
it. Can a s/c off a lightning be modified to fit a 4.3? I just wanted to
know if anyone has heard or seen this done and how?

wow, there has to be a million easier ways to run 10's than that.

I can see the fun in driving a truck like that around town, instant throttle response and feeling more connected to the road, things both my turbo and high stall converter make me miss. Not that it's be any faster in the 1/4 though. I'm actually surprised by those times, I thought a 10.42 usually had a higher mph than 126, and I'd expect even more than that with a stick.

Unless he's got slicks he'd lose the AWD with the stick right? And if so I'd think between rear wheel drive and a stick you'd have to have a ton of power to make a 10.42, but the mph numbers don't seem to support him having that much power. Then again, what do I know?

Let me guess...subaru running gear to cut down on parasitic losses yo! :rotf:

maybe its the three pulsejets in the bed that help top end speed?

Twincharging is a unique way to make power. As said above, props for trying something different.

Re: Supercharged Sy?

Whoa, I completely missed the fact that he had a turbo on AS WELL as a super. I second the props for trying something different. Wonder how well it worked? Sounds like the truck is a mess, does that mean this was a failure as well or is the rest of it a mess and this is the one well executed piece of it?
