Yea the air filter is a JLT Performance Short Ram air filter i had on the expo before the conversion...i probably couldve swapped it for a stock lightning air filter but decided to not hassle with that, and just make the existing one work

425 crank hp is only going to be about 300rwhp.
You should do better then that.

Good point...soo maybe more like 375 hp at the wheels...again im not really sure since ive never done this but i figure if a stock lightning makes 380, mine with more boost and the tune will put it around 375 or maybe 400 rwhp?
