Why don't you sell your Lightning and get a Model T. If you're gonna go backward, why not go all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking along the same lines. The stock blower is inefficient and running at its max capabilities right out of the box. The smaller the pulley you put on the Bell the more air it pumps. My buddy just put one on his 93 L and it is awesome.

Cool

I was just there a week ago. I talked with Ken Christley (technical director) He was saying that it would be no big deal to put their 2.2L blower on. Up to about 16 or 18 boost Just the cfm on the 2.2L vs are 1.2L blower would be big change.

Ken, said they have no plan's on do this because "us" that have already spent $30k plus on a truck would not want to put a blower on a truck that already has one on it. I told him if you want a test truck you can use mine So if you are looking for some thing like this call him and let them know. They don't have e-mail Ken's # (909)941-0985
