1997 lighting conversion
Hey new to the forum, I’ve googled but couldn’t exactly find everything I was looking for,
for the supercharger conversion on a 4.6 year 97. What list of parts are needed I already figured
supercharger
throttle body and cables
lower intake manifold/intercooler
water to air intercooler components.
What about fuel pump? Injectors? And a tune?
This truck is 95% stock, all I has is a K&n intake and a aftermarket exhaust. “Flow master”

I would go just cross reference the fuel pump from a Lightning, get performance injectors, and a tune. Keep the stock ECU and tune it.
I'd just use the stock Lightning air filter.

You need to get a supercharger kit for a non-PI 4.6. The Lightning was a 5.4 and intakes are not interchangeable.
