I raced a modded lightning, he had a pulley and intake and I dont know what else. He claimed 500hp. I had a 5.5k launch and took him hard off the line I held him till I hit 4th when he started to catch up. I put on the brakes before he caught up. lol.
He was very fast!
If you dont bog your launch, you got him. Have you learned how to launch yet? Its not so easy.
Good luck and keep us posted.
