Warrtlon when I started posting on here I thought you were the biggest A$$hole now I have come to realize you are just a huge smart A$$. Which now i find very humerous
BTW, this isn't a rip on Warrtalon, but I have seen many, many, many people get ripped by him, only to say later in the thread "you know warrtalon, you are alright" because now they want him on their side because they are scared of him, It's comical and pathetic at the same time. Kind of like what kids do in school when they get bullied.

Man, really, can you get off my case? You got it all backwards. People later say "i'm alright" or "man, thanks for beating some sense into me," because they realize the error of their ways. Some still say to Eff off, because they know what they're doing and don't care what I think, which is fine, but to state that people only succumb due to a bully mentality is very pessimistic.I have many people come back in PMs and thank me for the help and for saving them thousands upon thousands of dollars.
FWIW, I have over 1200 sent PMs. This means I have probably around the same number of PMs received. I very rarely initiate contact with anyone via PM, so if you take out the warnings from mods (haha), and the 50 or so PMs I've initiated with people, that leaves a good 1100 that were answers to people's questions. I don't know how that compares to other people who are helpful, but I think it's a pretty big number. I'm sure MalibuJack has closer to 11000, but I know I'm not near his Guru level. I do what I can to help, though. It does get annoying having to constantly delete everything in my sent messages box when I get close to 400 total messages built up...

War, I know you help people, but there are a lot of people who think you are the bully so they try to get on your side. When someone open’s a BOV thread and another member says “oh no, your about to meet warrtalon” because the thread is ridiculous, and you come in and post some overly sarcastic answer that is just as ridiculous as the post, tell me other people don’t portray that as being a type of bully.
I happen to know you help members out and I think that when you try, you have a very good knowledge base and can give straight answers. We all know the noob’s should search, but they don’t. I think the thread in your sig a while ago “what YOU should learn from evom” should be read before any NooB posts. Anyway’s, to reiterate, I’m not on your case. I think its laughable the way SOME people try to make fun of people with you cuz they think you will be their cyber friend if they kiss up to you.

I had no intentions of kissing his butt I was simply giving my opinion. I said he was funny because he gives smartass answers to peoples dumb questions. You seem to follow up on him more than I do. What is the matter do you get pissed when people try to swing on warrtalons nutts with you?

I would probably just do basic BPU like the other stated. You may have learned from your mistake when you crashed the car also. Nobody should tell you drive a honda or non performance car just because you had an accident. I wrapped one of my first fast cars around a tree. I have not had an accident since and I am a very good driver. When I was younger (and alot dumber) I used to push all my vehicals to their limit. This helped me become the driver I am now. Autocross is a very good tool and alot of fun also as stated before. Enjoy your great machine and have fun !
P.S. The lightning has the regular F-150 rods in it and this is its weak point (I had an 03).

i agree they only difference between the lightning's and the regular 5.4 are the pistons, connecting rod pins, and ford quit putting forged crankshafts in regular f-150s in 01 but kept them in the L's
