I guess you could use an STS universal turbo kit, although you will need other parts more specific to Ford and perhaps even the Lightning

screw it. i threw a wad of cash at the best guys for the job and they turned me down and said it was too much work. i dont have enough knowledge or time to build my own kit. Ive got money and a slow truck. I need to make it fast. I think my best bet would be a XCal3 with custom tunes and some more bolt ons. or maybe i should sell it and get a real truck... something spewing black smoke

Hmmm....If I were you I would do an engine swap, or a truck swap. Theres no replacement for displacement, and you have a big ass truck with the smallest engine they made for it. It would probably be cheaper in the long run just to get a truck with a V8. Start with the best you can get then build from there. Crap man, I'll sell you my truck and then you could just call it a day.

I was thinking the exact samething. You are wasting your time and money. It's a v6 I don't know why you would want to put big tires and steep gears on it. Quit wasting your money and time. A v6 will always be a v6. And please don't put any exhaust system on there, it will just make your already bad sounding truck louder.
