i am looking into putting the lighting swap on and was wondering how much boost a stick motor can take on a 07 5.4.. thank you for any help that you can give...

 

about 8 or 9. Depending on your tune

 

ok ... because i have also heard the these engines are a pain to get out of the truck is the true????

 

very true

 

What are you swapping?

 

If your planing on swapping the Lightning intake assembly on a 07 5.4,It will not work!
If your planing to swap in the hole Lightning 5.4 motor.
Haven't heard of anyone doing it but you could probably make it work with lots of changes and time &$$$$

ok i think i did that.... sry bout that...

 

I wouldn't waste your time and money doing a 4v swap. These new 3v's are plenty beefy. Just slap on a super charger kit and run 8 lbs. Any more than that and you are tempting fate and will need a new rotating assembly (crank, rods, pistons, rings) Not to mention all the fuel upgrades.

 

Is there one that is better then the other on these trucks?

would a supercharger or turbo be better for a daily driver??

 

What's going on Phil?
