Mike...? for ya !!!
Mike... In this months "Truckin" magazine there is an article on a few simple ways to get an additional 30 HP out of rthe Lightning.
It said to get an additional 14HP they simply replaced the stock doubled bladed throttled assembly with a "Kenne Bell" single bladed throttle assembly..
In a few hours I will know if they have an application like that for the HD...If they do will this effect the chip I put in last week ???..John from NC ????

Hi John,
No, it shouldn't affect your program.
You probably already know this, but don't expect anything like 14 hp doing this on your vehicle, you'd be lucky to get another 3-5 hp at best most likely, and I'm guessing here, as nobody I know of has done that and then also done accurate dyno comparisons to determine the results on a non-Lightning F-150. Maybe you'll be the first here to install that piece on a non-Lightning F-150!
The Lightning is a supercharged motor of course, so it responds better to most types of breathing mods.
If you do it, let us know your impressions, etc., & good luck!
