I should have listened to Hank earlier.

Took it for a nice ride, put the Bottle Warmer on, drove for about 15 minutes, checked and had @ 900 PSI.
BTW,
The tank is got to be close to empty by now,
it's been juiced at least 10 times now, probably more.
I gave it (2) nice WOT Nitrous Blast's
As usual the problem is traction with me, I HAVE NONE
First I rolled out and held it at about 10 MPH and then WOT.
Now I can feel the Juice, immediatly the tach was at redline, and the tires were just roasting. Got off a little then WOT again and took it up to 80 or 85 MPH. Johnny knows his stuff, no pinging on pump gas at all, and pulling like a Mo Fo the whole way through.

Tried it again but this time just crawled staying in 1st and Punched it, again it just roasted the tires and again I had to get off and on it to finally hook before I could WOT it again.
I guess it's times for 555R's for the street and my Hoosiers for the track.

I'm happy with the results but as I expected the problem is trying to put the power to the ground.
All I can say is

 

Sounds like fun...how much are you spraying with 6#'s of extra psi?

 

I told ya... I told ya.. I told ya. HAHA. I knew you would like the juice after adding the bottle heater. It's like day and night! And I see that you already found out that nitrous and F-1's mix about as well as oil and water. The Nitto 555R's really do help out a lot on the street. I was amazed at how hard I could launch on the street with the Nittos!!

 

No Rscoleman
At the moment I'm running a stock size upper,
65 HP Nitrous Jets, and my 4lb lower.

I think I can get away with juicing it with the upper on also, but first want to get an et this way. I'll be bringing my quick change upper to Cecil, and would like to get a 6lb ALL MOTOR run in
if I get the chance too, Who knows, maybe I'll get ballzy and juice it with 6, but I think for now 4lb + 65HP should get me what I want ""if"" the Hoosiers can put it to the track

 

Sounds great Rob !

I bet that put a huge smile on Your face.

 

Duuuuuuuude, You got Naaaaaawwwwzzzz.

 

Hey Rob, you've said that you've had many a muscle car in your time. How's the Lightning favoring compared to all the others you've had?

WOT

Although I have anger for Ford for not fixing
Many know problems year after year,
I got to say,

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST ALL AROUND
PERFORMANCE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER HAD.

Sure some of my BB Chevelles may have been raped apes,
one even got major air with no problems at all.
But considering I've always felt your Hot Rod should be Driven 24/7, and my goals are always to have a Street Strip Vehicle,
The Ford SVT Lightning has turned out to be absolutely awesome. Comfort, Speed, Looks, and Handling all in one Practical Package. Technoligy and use of a Supercharged Motor at it's best. I use mine as a truck often, I also use it for Ocasssional Sales Calls at work, maybe even an emergency delivery here and there if a Customer is in a jam. I can go to Weddings, Funerals, and the Drag Strip, and stand out in each and every one. At my age (42) It's perfect, it has all the main ingredients of a Super Car and with limited Auto Mechanic Skills you can do all the work yourself and make it a monster.

I just feel the known problems like Rods, Head Gaskets, and No Threads in the Heads, should have been addressed a long time ago, especially when they have the correct parts in inventory being used on other Fords

 

Sounds like you got everything running right now Rob.
Looks like you'll get thrown off the track on the 12th........hehe

 

Nitrous Ronbo LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Congrats brotha

 

Pretty Sweet Ron. I can't wait!

-Mike

 

I HOPE SO

 

Maybe you and me can get a group thrown off the track
