500 hp question
 

what mods would it take for my stock 04 lightning to be in the 500 club? :banana:

A KB blower or Whipple, Full exhaust, injectors, maf, plugs, pumps,throttle body:lol:, lower pulley and a great tune to make it run right, this is what worked for me.

Hmm i am still new to the lightning but from what i understand. The rods are only good up too 500 hp and that seams to be a little push for the engine. Also for 500 hp your going to have to go to a bigger SC to move some more air into the engine. also your going to need a lot of good tuneing to pull it off. I think that 450 to 475 is about the most you want to push but ever one on here is great and if i am wrong they will correct me.:thumbsup:

On a Mustang dyno....I am a little over 460rwhp....which I think is around 500 rwhp on a dynojet. I am still on the stock block and don't run nitrous. My mods are as follows:

Kenne Bell
6lb lower pulley (15psi)
Dynatech long tubes
Silver bullet cat-back / high flow cats / mid pipes
Electric fan
Cobra R pump
AFCO heat exchanger
JLP powercooler
C&L plenum / elbow
95mm MAF
CAI
MAFIA extender
60lb injectors
Walboro 255 pumps
Underdrive pulleys
NGK BR7's
Accufab SBTB
FTVB (r)
PI 2600 stall
QA1 shocks
Diablo revolutions chip

I have done everything you can pretty much except the internals. But you can probably get there cheaper with the following:

Ported blower
6lb lower
NGK TR6's
Predator or SCT tuner (good dyno tune)
CAI
FTVB
100 wet shot / nitrous
:rocker:

i make 500hp/600tq on the dynojet.. i have a ported eaton, sbtb, crower stage 2 cams, 2.7 upper, 6 lower, long tubes hiflow cats, silver bullet cat back, c&l upper, 60# injectors, sctba2400 MAF, AEM 95mm intake, on a killer PSP tune....:thumbsup:

I had the same combo with 500/600 on a MD motorsports tune. Add 75 shot and get 580/735.

I'm there......
 

551 RWHP and 580 on the torque. I am only running 13.5 psi of boost......:D

JLP built and TUNED with a KB sittin' up top.

Planning on going with his new intake and pushing the boost up to about 18 psi. That should put me at about 600 RWHP.:rocker:

the question was about his stock block holding up to it... not a built block holding up to it...lol

Has anyone ever installed just a 'Big Shot'?
I mean like nothing, just a 150-175 shot?

Just wondering


:confused:

Yeah.............Rob
And you remember what his motor looked like when Sal took it apart?
Hello almost spun rod bearing:lol:

Ported blower
