    Default G8 GT vs Whipple Lightning and Newer model Bullitt

    Went out to a local meet last night and got a couple runs. First run was a Whipple Lightning vs a buddies cam/n2o SRt8 jeep and I grabbed the 3rd lane. I couldn't hear the honks so I just waited until I heard the blower come alive and I smashed on it. We started around a 40 roll...Car shifted into 3rd and I was over a car out on the Lightning and pulling slowly. Lightning made 600+hp/700tq

    Next up was a newer model Bullitt Mustang. He rolled up side of me and geared down. Car sounded like it had a pretty deep gear, exhaust at least. As soon as he honked I yanked his ass hard. I ran it one full gear and had a small football field on him and let out. Wish I had a passenger though since no videos.

    heres a short video the run with the whipple lightning is a bout 2:15. Camera car is a fully built F-body with a 400+ci motor with a 4L60E holding on for dear life.


    OEM (ported blower, 75 shot) vs Dope Fiend (XP custom grind, 150 shot n2o)

    XPSRT8 (cam/n2o) vs Whipple Lightning vs XP G8 (LTs,n20,tune)
