And Ford is looking for any reason to void warranties. Yours, mine, everybodies to help cut costs. Messing with the factory air box is enough is some places to void warranties. No need to get into chips, tuners, pullies, headers..yada..yada..yada

Everyone including me wants to make my L faster. Who doesn't... but not everyone can cough up an extra $10g+ if the motor blows to buy a built motor. plus I live hawaii and there no lightning venders here so I would be paying out my *** for shipping..... So when I get tired of going slow or my warranty runs out or I can chit out an extra $10g's... I will mod the hell out my lightning...

Then buy a SCT from one of our tuners.
Get a nice safe street tune for a stock truck. You'll have an increase in power, be safe, and if the need arises, you can put the computer back in stock tune for warranty work

sorry for the delay
here's an update right from the horses mouth:
Boost is just a measurment of the air that is left outside the valves or in the intake manifold. In this case, our 2300ax is flowing more than KB's 2300 Lightning.
The flow difference is volumetric efficiency, our compressor is rated at a therotical (100% volumetric efficient) at 2.3 liters of air per rev. If the 2.3 was only 90% VE, then it would actually only flow 2.07 Liters per rev. Our 2300ax is in the range of 85-98% depending on boost and compressor rpm. In the given application of the Lightning, our 2300ax is showing that it's between 5-10% higher VE to flow the amount of air at the same compressor rpm's as KB.
