Most likely your warranty would not be valid if you install a SC or turbo, since Ford will say that the parts in your drivetrain were not designed for that much power. The Lightning uses a SC. You could probably purchase a Lightning SC from Ford and have them install it for you, but the cost for that would probably be more than the cost of your drive train and aftermarket SC together, so in a sense, you would have paid for any warranty work up front. My thoughts? Purchase a quality aftermarket SC, do the right upgrades to your transmission, and enjoy it.

Don't count on it. Like Crash! said, get to know your local service manager really well.

Thank's for the advice,I will keep that in mind when I go there next time.If they say they will do it, and I can still keep my warranty,I'll do it. And what ever they have to do unless it is some redicolus price. Thanks again.

LETS GO FLYERS

You can do it yourself if you have to, I put mine in myself, did it in my driveway.
