My SVT Lightning...SAD....

[XonSPRAY]

ok here is the story...
i bought a 2002 lightning built the motor put heads and cams, went from stock charger to a kenne bell to a whipple and never was satisfied but ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS TRUCK so i decided on a turbo setup 76mm.... took PSI Motorsports in houston texas 8 months to finish this (i do not recommend them, there work is awsome their customer service SUCKED) i had the truck back 1 month and broke the tranny so i was in the process of putting a TH400 w/ trans brake in the truck and the shop (friends) that it was in caught on fire somehow (supposedly no one was around) and i also did not have insurance back on the truck yet:evil2:

it made 718.74rwhp & 759.70rwtq @18-20psi in 104.4 degree's ON PUMP GAS!!! and ran 10.46@136 w/ 2.160ft (not spinning) on drag radials and weighted 4880lbs

here are some BEFORE pics of the turbo set up and my interior (seats and console) and also my 20" replica's

Damn man my heart bleeds for you. I know what it is like to have sweat and energy put into something and have someone take it from you.

Man, I feel for you... A friend at work lost his '55 chevy prostreet in a house fire. It totally devastated him and his family, but they all got out safely. He is building a '57 chevy now :10: Hopefully everyone was safe on your end.

OMG!!! I got one hell of a knot in my stomach when I saw the second batch of photos. It was such a nice truck too.

Did you friends shop have insurance? I would think they would cover it hopefully.

Damn that just makes me sick. :(

[RatDime]

chill dude, 1- Im not a ford fan at all, but the before pics are cool, the after pics are amazing (too me) on what it looks like after the fire. Just shows how really hot it got. You dont understand what its like in my shoes either...

[XonSPRAY]

it has nothing to do with a ford... i has to do with a family member in my eyes.. i get really attached to a vehicle if i like it...

send a pm of one of your shoes to me and i'll try it on for size:laughoutloud:

[01XtremeLT1]
