what is stoping me from putting a 99-03 lighting supercharger on my my 05 na 5.4 do i just need all the parts or is stuff different also if i do need parts what would they be i looked under the supercharged section of the fourms but i cant find anything on new body style n/a's just on 99-03 trucks so any help would be appreciated thanks yall

 

From what I've read on here about them we can't use a lightning supercharger because we have the 3 valve heads and the lightning setup is for a 2 valve.

 

I am pretty sure the intake on the Lightning blower 99-04 set-up will not work on the new 3 valve heads 04-09. You would need to go aftermarket set-up IE Whipple, Roush, Saleen, Magnacharger etc.. Beat me to it...

 

got it that sucks

 

Are the Lightning, Mustange Cobra and the Roush SC all basically using the same M113 Eaton Supercharger? But using a different intake manifold for the different motors

 

Why is that?
New superchargers are very inexpensive compared to what they cost in the past.

 

because they are still expensive to some people, also i would say he said it sucks because im guessing he found a great deal on a lightning sc, and would be cheaper(if it would just bolt on) then a new sc

 

Yea that does suck it wont swap over, however the 3v headers are better for making power, so once you can afford a supercharger, youll probably put out more power then a stock lightning. But the weight is what holds you back.

 

Maybe, maybe not.

A 2004 Lightning weighs in at 4670 lbs.

A 2008 Standard Cab regular box 2WD 5.4 weighs in at around 4700 lbs.

 

ya i found a compleat kit for 400 every kit i have found made by aa company was 2000 or more and in my case ill make more power but my wieght will be the factor last time i got weighed at 5700 and it was on 37's not 40's

 

Just because it does not fit on your truck, does not mean you can't make a deal work in your favor.
