For anyone else that comments about not showing my times, I post and shared this to places that I set up grudge/money races. I'd prefer they didn't know my times. But thanks for watching regaurdless! Enjoy the passes and drop a guess if ya want! Maybe i'll tell ya if your hot or cold.
Had an 01 lightning. Living in Minnesota, it had way to much power for icy roads. Only drove it for 5 months out of the year. Never really used the speed. Sold it to a 20 yr old kid that did a bunch of after market stuff to it. Invited me to the Litchfield Mn drag race track where he raced it. He was 10 and 0 until he met a rice burner that just barely edged him out. So proud of that truck. Built Ford tough.
I have been wanting a Lightning SVT since they hit the scene! They are incredibly fast even by todays standards! Its awesome how, still to this day, THERES NOTHING LIKE AN SVT! 😁😀😌
I sure miss my lightning it was a 2002 true blue lightning it had the Whipple supercharger dual overhead cams it was the upgrade by Patriot heads.. 527 lift Crower cams Manley valve springs manly & h beam racing rods. 80lb injectors dual walbro fuel pumps. 102 mm mass air flow. I'm trying to think what else I had it had tons of s*** 980truehp.. pretty badass truck I miss it a lot.. there was nothing stock about it
Hey Debtlife projects, i have a 2004 SVT lightning and thinking of camming it. Do you recommend camming of no? Also what are the mods on your Lightning? Thanks in advance.
I personally wouldn't do cams, unless your going to also build the motor, or at least put new rods/pistons, but may as well build it if it's coming apart. For the cost in labor, it's not really worth doing just cams, can't really utilize them or the power range they provide unless you build it, so money is better spent elsewhere. I have a video of the best mods to do to a stock block truck, check that out. As far as what's done to mine, a lot lol 😅 if you watch my latest dyno video, after the dyno runs, I do a full build overview of all the mods I have on the truck.
11.2@127 ? That's my guess well I want tell but judging by the other video that thing can get down a dirtroad after a flood without losing traction. Nice truck and setup
I had one that I ran all over Florida. It was built by SuperStang (now UPR) that my best was 10.88. Nice truck, check out UPR their geniuses when it comes to these.
That's already been addressed in the pinned comment at the top. I edited them out, seeing as at the time, I was grudge racing for money, and didn't need people knowing what I ran. It's been so long now, and everything's different, that I can say it ran 11.9@113 against the hellcat, and a best of 11.7@117 overall at that time. It's much faster now.
@@3500camarz no worries! Yeah it's a fun setup for sure, not bad at all for an eaton on 93 pump and street tires! 🤘😁 still need to run on the slicks, I can probably cut a lot of time off with a better 60ft
Best was 11.7@117, averages high 11s. That's on a crappy radial and all stock suspension. It now has full adjustable suspension and better radials, should be mid-low 11s
At the time of this video, built longblock (forged bottom end, ported heads, stage 2 cams) ported stock blower at 13psi, supporting bolt ons, low timing/safe tune on 93. Ive done a lot since, should be low 11s now on the stock blower, for now 😉 a lot more to come
Yup, on the stock wheels/street tires all it does is spin if I leave on any boost or more rpm. Those are just all seasons , and those with 500+ whp don’t work out too well lol 😆 but now that I got a drag pack (slicks and skinnies) it should be a different story! I’ll be going to the track soon, so keep an eye out for that video
@@DebtLife_Projects awesome man, thank you for the reply. I just picked up a lightning and am trying to get a good launch but keep spinning. What’d you go with for your race set?
No worries, I try to reply as often as I can! Congrats on ur truck! Make sure you have longbars, those will help a ton with traction AND keep you from popping your driveshaft, but I went with 15” race stars in the back with 325/50-15s and 17x7 in the front (street setup) and 17x4s for the track. There’s a recent video going over my setup
@@DebtLife_Projects This is literally my goal here is just to be able to keep up with or beat hell cats. I have a HD, it's quite a bit heavier then a lighting but hopefully with this built block and heads I can get to that point.
@@DebtLife_Projects Funny thing....I'm still waiting on my lighting to come back from JDM. I sent it out there in June but couldn't wait, so I bought a new Hellcat. I told them that it better beat the dodge when I get it back.
J B haha 😆 yeah JDM does take a little while, but they are super legit, id rather wait for quality. It just might beat the hellcat when ya get it back! Keep me posted on how that goes! 🤘
These trucks waist gas like a mofo lmfao! Sometimes I like to just cruise around my turn and by the time you know it my gas tank is half way already 😅 but good things cost you and this truck is way too fun to drive more than any car I’ve driven !!!
Explained in the pinned comment at the top...but I posted this to places I set up grudge/money races, so I didn't want to show them my times. But, it ran 11.9@113 at the time of this video.
No worries, I get asked that a lot lol! New videos with new times coming soon, I've done a bunch since, and don't really grudge anymore, so they'll be in the video
Can that Hellcat survive submarine hurricane floods? No it can't. Can it pull a trailer? No. Can it beat some random car challenging you to street race? Only lost 2 times. Go 2003 red Lighting! Extra bonus trapped in evacuation I escape driving in the grass along the side of the Hwy when all Hell breaking loose. I got gas in college station. 30 hrs from Galveston.
Nice kill! Thats a quick truck...don't need to see times to know that lol. If I had to guess, mid 11's since hellcats run low 11's but it seemed like he didn't hook.
I really miss my lightning my engine blew twice before I found out that johnny lightning programed a 2001 chip for my 2000 lightning my first chip was great lots of wins including the finals at fun ford weekend but I decided to try a different combo with 410 gears and a new 3 stage chip big mistake which caused a massive explosion 7: rods and Pistons twice before Johnny said I dunno oh it's a 2000 not a 2001 which I had all swapped to 2001 specs except computer it ran 12 5 on street tires and chrome rims in street trim much faster with slicks and skinny front tires but it's
One of the beautiful things about a 2nd gen Lightning is that they are old trucks now, and they're still faster than most cars that are currently being produced. Race whatever it is that you drive against whatever you want to race it against. Open your mind.

Post ur fucking times u pussy
flame tho 😂
11.67 I’m guessing
Project DODGE it’s been long enough and the setup has changed so it doesn’t matter, so I will say that that’s about dead on!
DebtLife Projects yessss! I just looked up the hellcat times and took a little off since you beat one and I guess it worked 😂

It must feel reassuring knowing it went into good hands
That guy lucky
The cat got struck by lightning 😎
Curiosity killed the cat
Nice 👌🌩
The truck is one of the fastest car in the first F&F movie.
Ares God of War the 2000 Ford lighting svt is actually the fastest truck out their
Sure Bryan had it
@@edgargallegos7474 actually the 2004 is
I was NOT expecting the Lightning to beat that Hellcat. 😅
Neither was he, he seemed mad after lol 🤘😁
It’s a charger so it weighs as much as a whale 🤣
Nobody does bro. Thats why its a sleeper truck because it creeps up on you and and makes you eat smoke.
@@MrCarlitosway713 until you build it enough then it doesn’t creep on anything
Cars slow down just to see you pass them
I have been wanting a Lightning SVT since they hit the scene! They are incredibly fast even by todays standards! Its awesome how, still to this day, THERES NOTHING LIKE AN SVT! 😁😀😌
Hell yeah, I agree! 🤘😁⚡️
facts man!
Maybe I will sell mine
... AND to this day in 2024 also ....
2004 just crossed 100k miles and still a Beast !!!
Imagine paying about 70 grand just for this to happen to you by a tucker lol
Yeah he wasn’t happy, he made that run and I never saw that car again, probably left and went home lol
@@DebtLife_Projects what is the does the ford push?
I can’t lie that lighting is a fucken real beast love it and I’m Chevy person but got to respect that Ford lighting👌🏽
Theres a reason why they named it Lightning ⚡️ 💨💨💨💨
Got that right! ⚡️
My pops has an SVT Focus and has plans to get a Lightning now I know why 😂😂
I’ve always been a fan of lightnings clean Truck
Thanks! I appreciate it 🤘😁
Now I want one

Damn the ecoboost was closer than the 5.0 them ecoboost have power
They are impressive that’s for sure! I got to drive one for a week while my wife’s car was at the dealer, and it was a fun little car!
11.2@127 ? That's my guess well I want tell but judging by the other video that thing can get down a dirtroad after a flood without losing traction. Nice truck and setup
I actually meant to put 10.2 at 127
my cousin has a lightning its grey and mannn its gorgeoouss and fasstt ⚡😼
Badass, what were your times.
Put a single mod on it boom u be doing 6 seconds at lightning speed
You need to show your times if your going to up load the video. I also have a lightning and wanted to see what you were running.
I post it to places that I set up grudge races, that's why I dont show the time. But you if un-dislike it and inbox me i'll tell ya the time lol
That’s the only reason I wanted to watch this! Haha. You’re so right!
Nice truck btw!
Thanks! They are fun trucks, that's for sure 🤘😁
@@DebtLife_Projects yes sir…. I have a similar body frame to your truck but not anywhere near as fast lol
Why do you keep cutting the video right before we can see the seconds on the sign
Posted to forums and pages for grudge racing, didn’t want my times known.
Pitty the video blurrs at the end of the dragstrip
Yeah, I used to race for money, didn't want people knowing my times. Ran 11.9@113 with a 1.73 60ft
I had one that I ran all over Florida. It was built by SuperStang (now UPR) that my best was 10.88. Nice truck, check out UPR their geniuses when it comes to these.
"they're"
Who recorded this? Not one time did they show the quarter mile time

People who disliked this video are the ones jelouse because that lightning will get up and go
They really dont like it if a girl is driving factory one. With sound system that weighs it down. I got lucky with a really good red 03
They are not showing what he ran!!! That’s the only reason I checked this out!
Of course im not showing, I post this where I grudge race and dont need those people knowing my times. I can message you my times if your interested
Lol! Sweet! No Ford owner likes "Hellcats", or demons or loud mouth exhaust on em'! Badass 03' buddy
Thanks! 🤘😁
dam at 1:08 why didn't you show the mustang race while you were lining up?
Black shark swimmer the wife was doing the filming, so I blame her lol 😆
What's you're 1/4 times thanks
Best was 11.7@117, averages high 11s. That's on a crappy radial and all stock suspension. It now has full adjustable suspension and better radials, should be mid-low 11s
Wow great time👌
@@leecanez74 thanks! Not too bad for the stock blower 🤘😁
dang what’s in that lightning?
At the time of this video, built longblock (forged bottom end, ported heads, stage 2 cams) ported stock blower at 13psi, supporting bolt ons, low timing/safe tune on 93. Ive done a lot since, should be low 11s now on the stock blower, for now 😉 a lot more to come
New found Love. Ford Lightning!
Was it stock when you did this?
Nope, Built longblock, ported stock blower at 13psi, and supporting bolt ons.
You been hit by 🥁 you been struck by 🥁 LIGHTNING
Lol 🤘⚡
Hey, is there a reason you don’t load up boost while launching? Might be mistaken, but it seemed like you were leaving at like 1.5k rpm.
Yup, on the stock wheels/street tires all it does is spin if I leave on any boost or more rpm. Those are just all seasons , and those with 500+ whp don’t work out too well lol 😆 but now that I got a drag pack (slicks and skinnies) it should be a different story!

Badass truck. Ford should bring it back instead of the raptors.
Or instead of the garbage EV, but yeah, I agree lol 🤘
What your soundtrack at the ending
Just one of the generic ones you can pick off of UA-cam studio, no idea which one honestly lol 😆 it’s been forever since I edited this video
