New lightning questions...3 valve heads?
What do you guys think will happen in regards to the new 3-valve head design ford is going to put on all the 5.4L truck engines. I would think for cost cutting reasons and performance reasons the new lightning scheduled for 05'ish? would get these heads? Is there any confirmation they will use 3 valve or 4 valve heads? If they do use 3 valve heads + the twin screw supercharger on the concept what kind of power gain are you looking at? From what i've read they got 500/500 out of the 2 valve head design with the more efficient supercharger. So could we expect 530-550? I would expect them to drop the boost down some but would still have that extra potential when we mod them?
If everything goes as planned i will be going to iraq in about 6 months to work atleast a 2 year contract and make 6 figure income+ for those years and then come home. I will be in the market for the new lightning when i get back thats why im asking questions now.
