Default I bet it would work at Texas World Speedway's 2.9-mile roadcourse...

...there is NO way a Lightning will crack a 2:00 lap there, and with a front straight that is a half mile long, the extra HP could come in handy on that one part of the track, and not be used for the other 2.4 miles where the 15 turns reside.

Default i wonder how much power is lost when running/recharging the a/c cooler...

for that extra power. given the 500hp is more than enough power to play with i guess.

I have seen dyno runs showing that modern AC units take 20 hp to run.

Default I think Ford has officially let the SVT team go completely nuts

500hp lightning is completely insane. And you know they aren't going to let the lightning out do the cobra so how much power is the cobra going to have !?

Default Co-worker's got a Cobra that already makes 457rwhp with fairly mundane mods...

...that was before porting and polishing and before chipping it. So he's probably over 500rwhp on pump gas now. Maybe closer to 550rwhp on 100 octane -- who knows. He ran a 12.2@118 on a mediocre pass at the strip on Nittos when he was at the 457rwhp level.
