I was waiting to see if Ford would do the lightning with the new body style, I've read that this is not in the cards.

Now, I'm toying with the idea of doing my own with an FX2 with either the eco-boost modded with higher boost or if I can get the 6.2L in that truck supercharged.

I was looking around online for packages form Saleen or some other performance builder for an package for the new trucks, haven't seen anything yet.

Has anyone seen a performance package for the new trucks that would be a solid 12's ET vehicle? Anyone working on one?

Thanks.

 

A single cab ecoboost with the short bed would haul a$$ lol too bad that cant be configured....

 

I would go turbo 5.0 or supercharged 5.0
Mustang GT are putting down 500+whp with low boost.

By the way, you can't have the 6.2 in the FX2.
6.2 is in the Lariat max tow, Lariat Limited, Harley Davidson and Raptor.

 

I wish Ford would make a Gen3 Lightning too. Maybe you'll have to show them how it's done!

 

can't get a stepside anymore which sucks if you are going for a lightning look, could always swap bed's i'm sure which would be cool.

id go 5.0 with a supercharger on a 2 door xlt and then have some custom seats made up to look similar to original lightning seats, slight drop and eventually find or mod a body kit to it and have exhaust run out the side w/ dual tips like they originally had

 

I went through my options for what I want.

I made the decision that doing a new F150 perform like I want will take alot of modifications and money.

I am going to see a 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 next week, has 30k miles on it. It's a regular cab six speed, magazine specs say 0-60 in 5.2 seconds in a mid-high 13's 1/4 mile time. Selling for around 25k............

Only bad thing, 9mpg city!!!!

 

i heard somewhere a few years back that those v10's are only good for 70-80k and it's a dodge.... if you are willing to do a used truck why not a 04-08 RC 5.4 step side and build it? should be able to come in at 25k or less depending on what you get exactly and keep it ford

 

Your lightning in your sig is sexy

 

Don't forget about the low production Gen. 1 Lightning. A lot of good ideas there...

 

Anyone make an aftermarket supercharger for the new 5.0? Just a thought. That would be pretty sweet. Supercharged 5.0, lowered suspension, maybe use the Gen II Lightning/SVT badges?????

 

Yes on the Supercharger. But, it's for the 5.0 Mustang. Give it a few years and there should be something for the F150.

I've seen this, Is there a SC in production by someone other than a custom specialty shop? Edelbrock, Roush, Ford Motorsport, Vortech, Paxton or ProCharger?

 

Thanks. Now if Ford could just make a Gen 3 Lightning, I could add some sex to that too!
