Ok a few things I have seen that I disagree with, first with two mods on a lightning it's very easy to see 70hp, a smaller blower pulley and a chip should be about right. Also some fuel to the SHO thing, the last model SHO taurus did have a V8 I believe it was 2.5 you can check around on line, it's not bullshit....kinda along the lines of the duratec V6 they used in the SVT Contour. So to all the ignorant people that can't see it's not rice anyways it now has a V8 instantly making it no longer rice..... amazing!!!:rolleyes:

the later style SHO's had a 3.8 liter V-8

FYI
 

Well for what it's worth since most people really have no clue what a GEN 2 will run, let alone a GEN 1, then here's some insight on the GEN 2 Lightning. With the exception of "high altitudes" and all that the AVG 99-00 runs mid to high 13s. The 01-03s run mid to low 13s. Throw on just a chip and filter on a 01-03 and you're in the 12's. Throw on a chip, filter, pulley (lower or upper), and maybe exhaust and your 99-00 is in the 12s. Here's some examples from the National Lightning Owners Club GEN 2 1/4 miles times list. This isn't all of them in the club. Just the ones who have posted their times. The mods legend is at the bottom.
