Why put the turbo way back there 😂
Thats b s the1st gen lightning didnt come with forced induction that lightning aint touching that ss stock for stock
Who cares about wefair made garbage waste of steel chevy
The SS would be super cool with another point of compression and an 8HP90 transmission. No doubt that the SS looks WAY better than the Lightning and the Mark IV has FAR more potential if it didn't have to pass inspection.
Like the red lightning 351 s have worked good for me
Damn, what a difference in handling! That alone would make me lean towards the Chevy…
Gimme the Cyclone they showed! That was the real beast!💪
I've always believed the 454 SS aged very well, still a beautiful truck even today.
I’d be happy with any of these trucks in this video but definitely want that SS 454
ALL TIME MATCH UPS 🛸🤩
I HAVE A 1991 Chevy 1500 350 white you
If you watch the cone event and then look at @luke-tm5oy comments you already know its a phishing attempt to save ford.
Idk how dodge owners exist 😂
There is a lot of dumb motherfuckers that ain't never built a car in these here comments xD
The guy that said he re-wrote the code to make the boost higher. It’s literally and input number like 30 or a mathematical formula.. it’s literally like excel as a code in some cases you deleted 20lbs for 30lbs lol
No matter what you do to those old Lightnings… They're still ugly.
That Ford looks so damn ugly compared to the obs SS.
THE FORD LIGHTNING IS A BAD LIL TRUCK AN D LOOKS GREAT.. 351W AND THE FINE SUEDE INTERIOR FOR THE WIN…
There’s cyclone on hooligans channel
3:40, EFI gets in the way??? Are you still in 1983???? Who runs a carb anymore? Lol
15:40 looked like he was going for a no mercy reversie
Woulda been nice to know what they both did on a dyno after the modifications
The 454SS is a beautiful truck. It would have been great with an extended cab.
It does look old
everybody doing the same thing.
The chevy was close for not having forced induction. But if it also had a turbo it would've walked the lightning
Man y’all could’ve done so much more w that 454 kind of ashamed to be a Chevy man but haha
Blaim the driver..of the chevy. No Experience
Looks wise the 454 crushes that lightning
People Please level your trucks!
even with a 454 the chevy still cant beat a ford. maybe with a 1/8 mile head start.
Wonder if my dad was there at London
Haha that's crazy live right down the road from the strip you should see the grudge wars up there lol they will let anything run
Syclone.
This is how shity the TV programs were we had to watch before the Internet saved us from boring TV producers
How much power did they end up making 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏻♂️
SS
all day long
They can't find a 1/4 mile track to run these?
LS1 syclone Is a stupid idea. Dude should stick to normal s10s
Lightning or nothing.
In my opinion, if Ryan would've put a power adder in the SS454, the playing field would be even
