lightning dash with a procharger
has anyone done a lightning dash swap with a procharger on a non SVT built F-150?
is this even possible? the 140mph tach and built in boost guage would be a nice touch and not be as obvious as the piller / column mounted guages

I installed a 2003 Harley cluster in my 2001 F150 the lightning cluster would be the same only uses a piece of vacuum line for the boost gauge to my knowledge. the only thing is that you need you're PATS system programmed to you're computer so that it would start. I bought my cluster as a re-manufactured unit through Ford and had them install it and do the computer, the entire deal was around 300 dollars. I have read somewhere that the PATS module is attached to the inside of the cluster and can also be swapped from one to the other if you found a used cluster, but then you also have to contend with getting the mileage correct, if that is important to you.

HI!... Yes I also did a LIGHTNING gauge cluster swap into my 99 F-150. I wanted white face gauges and a speedo that would go over the stock 100MPH. I could hit 120MPH in 3RD gear alone. After the built 5.4 got installed 140MPH was gone. Anyone make a 160MPH conversion? LOL! 
The dealer sold me a new cluster and took down my milage at the time. When it arrived it already had the digital odometer set at my milage. I installed it and they just had to calibrate the new cluster for the PATS and GEM module. 99-04 Heritage can do the conversion. 97-98 cannot.
