What's a Ford "LIGHTING"

 

Releasing Feb 2004, cost will most likely be around 3k. Be nice if I had the cash for it. Hope somone installs one and posts their Dyno results.

 

I doubt it will be around $3,000 with the intercooler. I know what I'm going to start saving for. I knew I regret trading my Lightning in, but this may be the cure for my depression, plus I'll have 4WD.

 

Will this void the warranty???

 

I just got the new Truckin' Magazine and low and behold this supecharger kit is on one of the Street Scene SEMA F-150's. They said they sent it to Whipple and had them install the SC kit. When they got it back, they put a Gibson full exhaust kit and K&N air filter on it. Are you sitting down for this one, It made 445 HP and 600 FT/LB of torque!
And yes it sounds like the exact same set up as the kit coming out in Feb. It was running off of 8 psi, the Gibson full exhaust kit and K&N air filter only. That is a gain of 145 HP and 235 FT/LB!!! Need I say more.

 

SRT-10's here I come, with 4WD. Damn, my launches are going to ruin my transfer case.

 

Right after the Whipple SC was unveiled at the SEMA Show we had an interesting discussion on the subject here. Another pic there too.

I would definitely opt for the intercooled offering. I suspect the price tag will be more like five grand+. Suppose some here would consider adding a heater exchange (like red04 discussed in his SC thread) as well. Beefing the tranny should probably get some consideration as well. I do know the Performance West Group SEMA truck (the silver one with the Xenon body kit) had a Kenne Bell SC and they did mention beefing the tranny, but did not give details about such mods. I have no idea who has such parts; maybe from the SVT parts bin? FWIW, Whipple was Ford's OEM supplier of SC for the GT-40. This SC would be an awesome mod!
