Ask me whatever you want to know. By the way, the f150online Lightning forum is pretty much strictly GEN 2s. They don't like us GEN 1 guys over there. Go the National Lightning Owner's Club for unlimited info on these trucks.

They run low 15s stock. Yes they have the 351W with hypereutectic pistons, 8.8:1 compression ratio, custom torque ground cam (marine cam grind), GT40 cast iron heads, and GT40 intake. It'll pull your stang with no problems at all. They were made in 93,94, and 95. All were speeddensity. The E303 cam WILL NOT work with the 351W. It'll throw your idle all to heck and it'll run bad to boot. If you do a cam swap that's not SD friendly then get a EEC tuner or TwEECer to tune it correctly. Mass Air conversion runs around $1000 NO JOKE. And the ones out there are crap. The only one worth anything is the Pro-M and even then you'll lose performance. They also have a tranny cooler, oil cooler, and aluminum radiators. The tranny is the heavy duty automatic E4OD with 4 inch aluminum drive shaft and a 4.10 limited slip 8.8" rear with 31-spline axles. Lightning specific 17 inch wheels with 275/60R17 inch stock tire size (lots o' meat, wide dudes). Stock factory rated at 240 hp and 340 lb/ft of torque but the hp is more closer to about 270 according to dyno tests. They are torque monsters and easy to upgrade. Mine, stock, ran a 15.3 @ 90 with a 2.3 60ft. Now if I could only hook, lol. If you need to know anything else just let me know.
