Lightning Blower Installed!



Works great! 12lbs of boost with a PSP tune from SAL!



Peekaboo! There's something more to this F150!

Collected parts and info for about a month. Install took 2 days. Tweaking and getting the tune right took about a week!

I have a wideband A/F guage and it's been calibrated on previous dyno runs. At WOT it goes to a safe 11.5 to 1, so I'm good there!

It runs great right now and I'm going to leave it alone until I build a new forged motor and install a Whipple or Kenne Bell blower.

It pulls a lot harder that the Kenne Bell kit that I was using and I had 313rwp and 435tq!

there isnt any fab work...most of it is R&R parts...and upgrading your fuel pump...I did the intall in 17 hours from start to finish...I would talk to Mike Dunn at madenterprise.com for a list of parts that you will need...he will give you all the advise needed to do the install..plus all of us will help you out also...if you buy the s/c from monkeybiscut off of ebay you will get a good deal on the s/c and many parts included...but there are additional parts needed also...here is a link to Mike's parts list

Mike knows his chit about this swap better then anyone and he will answer all your ?'s

Several calls - asked for an itemized quote, never got it. I'm pretty impatient, when I want something, I want it now!

The Lightning blower was a purchase of opportunity.
