Sal told me that a new intake was being made for his aftermarket blower and it was not ready.......so he had to use the stock one.
I am not sure about the nitrous.

Both Johnny Lightning and Sal are NMRA sponsors. Have you
never had a weekend at the track where nothing hangs together?
Let's not bash the vendors here.
Anyone that bothered to ask Sal was given the true explaination
as to why he was running slower and with no nitrous. And it
was announced on the PA when he was running that the truck
was capable of 10.7's, but had some mechanical issues.

I'm not bashing anyone. I just stating my opinion and fact here. I guess I could go back and ask why Sal only has one time slip of his amazing 10.7 run. Why hasn't he been able to back it up all year long? I mean Johnny has run 11's all summer and broke into the 10's just about a month ago.
If I was Sal I would have stayed home. Sponser or not he doesn't have to show up. It is like Michael Jordan showing up to play a basketball game. Why? He doesn't have what it takes and it makes him look stupid. The same with Sal.
Oh, I've purchased over $1K in parts from Sal, over $2K from from JL, and probably double what I've spent with them from JDM.

From the information I have, Sal's intake was the first (one-off) of the Works 112 blower. As such, it may not have current updates like the by pass etc. Sal shipped it to Works and was expecting to have it back by racetime, he did not.
One thing I do know is that Sal just flat likes to drag race. I note that he always races something, frequently his Gen 1 Lightning. I have the feeling that he would race a hooptie if that was all he had. Personally I respect him for that, because I feel the same way.
easterisland, your right, if you were Sal you would be staying home and flaming people on this board. Sal went racing

easterisland is just mad because Sal's truck is faster than his.
Come on, we all have off days. You don't need to kick someone when they are down. Besides, he still had the ***** to run despite set backs.

It isn't my fault he had one of the slowest trucks there. As far as me flaming Sal, I'm not saying anything that is not the truth. You can be mad at me if you like.

I read the post, I am just stating a rebutal.
Everyone knows that Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon. Many others have followed in his footsteps, but how many of them do you remember. You only remember the first guy that did it. No one really pays as much attention to the others.
So when someone breaks his current time, then people can talk trash.

Maybe DL only took pictures of the fast trucks.
Were there any Lightnings slower than the PSP team? Maybe they were time limited through the traps?

Did I say something incorrect? Did Sal really run an 11 or 12 second run at BG? Please someone post and help clear the air here. Anyone?
When someone claims they know how to tune a truck and then can only muster low 13's something is wrong. Sal had access to a dyno and he can burn his own chips. Why was he only running low 13's?
