I've only made two drag strip pass in my Lightning thus far. However, the first time I did it was in the middle of summer and 90 degrees out. Not to helpful for a blower motor. But, it still turned 14.3 in the quarter on worn street tires. The second was in the fall with cool temps, say 65 degrees, and it went 13.9

Also, the truck was bone stock at the time of the first run. More or less on the second too. All I did between the two times I ran it was install a Borla cat-back kit. The Borla kit is almost worthless for a HP increase. Maybe 4 HP. Just sound a little better exhaust wise and has nice looking chrome tips now..
