How much power are you supercharged guys putting to the pavement? I am about to do a lightning blower swap on my 2000 F150 and would like to get and idea of how much power Im goning to make. I'm expecting about 335/400 to the pavement.


Thanks
Eric

 

see sig. i am limited on mine though as there is no way to fit dual exhaust underneath. also, i like the look of the stock airbox as opposed to an open air unit, so i am "missing out" on some power there as well, but i am happy none-the-less.

 

385 with a 4lb lower , havnt been back to dyno since addding the ported blower and 6lb lower

 

Harley truck with 6lb lower and larger than Lightning snout pulley.

 

about 340 HP and 440 TQ was my best pull on the dyno (did like 15 of them)

 

I'm putting down good numbers for the Roush kit

 

HI!... #'s are in my sig.

 

Depending on location, Octane, tire size etc. Those numbers should be no problem for a swap on about 10psi with minor bolt ons. The stock airbox is actually one of the best options till you up the boost to about 14psi. Exhaust won't buy you much.

What are the details of your truck, budget, goals?

I'm putting down somewhere around 400/500 to the wheels but I have an L motor, 14psi and 38" tires with a ton of bolt-ons!

 

I will basically have a stock lightning motor in my truck. I bought a 5.4 short block that is at the machine shop right now. I dont think it has to be bored just a lite hone may clean it up. Here are my modifications:

stock lightning supercharger running 12 psi
stock lightning heads and cams
stock air intake
bottom will have forged pistons, crank, and H-beam rods
shorty headers (probably summit brand)
I haven't decided on a stall for my truck yet.... suggestions please..
3.73 gears with a trak lok
my tire size is 305/40/R22
93 octane is available at nearly any gas station here in Georgia.
Ofcourse, I'd like to spend as little as possible but I figured I can do the entire swap for less than $7500 that includes the bottom end, trans, rear, and tune. I am doing all the labor myself except for the tune.


I plan on doing a few more modifications in the future after the basic swap is done. Id like to eventually add ported eaton, single blade TB, plenum, and larger heat exchanger. My truck will still be a daily driver but with just a little more power.

Thanks for the help everyone.

If you going that far you should get some ported heads. There a PITA to swap later when the motors in.

weird, same numbers as me, but less boost?

 

i am getting 11.2 pounds of boost at 4500 RPM on up, and remember this is the best of like 15 dyno pulls my average is like 320 HP and 420 TQ, the 341 HP and 439 TQ was on a cool day on a cool engine with cold fluid in the intercooler.
