The computer is on the passengers side under the right kick panel.

I'm surprised this is still here. The kit was $4500 new. This is like new. A lightning pump, a heat exchanger and add 150 ft lb torque or more.
This thing would break my 34 inch tires loose through the 1-2 shift. I also have the tuner and tune from Troyer included but the tune will probably only work on a 97 or 98 4.6. Troyer may agree to unlock it for another year for a fee???
I will put pictures up tomorrow.

DLWTHIT,
As much as I would like to take your money, this is just going to be too heavy to ship to you. If you lived in the continental USA I would find a way but...

Lightning clone,

I am located in Maryland north of Baltimore not far from Hanover PA.
I will have pictures up later today.

Pictures
I found the lightning heat exchanger and it is included.







The orriginal kit was designed to run a 6lb pulley and a vortex FMU. You can be boosted for very little money over the price of this blower, just change the pulley, install a Vortex FMU and fill with 93 fuel. You can also do what I did and get a tune 42lb injectors and have 9.5 lbs instant boost.

I still have the original box and you can see in the pictures it had plywood and 2x4 crate inside. I will bubble wrap everything and ship insured.
The box is 95 lbs and the estimated shipping via UPS to Florida is approximately $100 and to the West Coast is approximately $130. Shipping will be estimated prior to payment.

I never did a dyno run. I just know this thing is a very good bang for the buck. It spools fast and stays in boost from the moment you hit the gas until you get out. You will not get this much power for $1200 anywhere period.

Hi,
One of the things that Troyer did was raise the IAT temps in the tune. The IAT is located deep in the intake and above the intake intercooler and so reads higher then actual intercooled IAT. By raising the IAT parameters to that of the non-intercooled blowers, I saw a significant increase in performance with no detonation. The other thing I did was put a fan on the intercooler to prevent heat soak at traffic lights. It was a little Derale fan and worked great.
Togeather those modifications made a significant improvement in performance.

I found out the box weighs 95 lbs with every thing in it. Shipping will be about $120 to the West Coast. That still brings the total to about $3000 less then new. This weekend it will go on eBay if it not sold.
