Now this would be space for my future mods list but ya know what? The truck is fucking fast already. All I'm really looking for is to push it over 400 horses and make it handle a bit better. So the plans for it are as thus:
- Dual burn PROM chip
- Headers and full exhaust system w/ cutouts
- Hotchkis stabilizer bars
- Active Suspension for the rear to aid in towing and payload capacity
and control.
A reasonably achievable list. There are probably other things I could do but this is my daily driver and I have another project to dump money into. If you think a Lightning is hairy, wait until I can get to my other project! So basically, that's it. The specs are lifted right from Ford' brochure on the Lightning so they are accurate as reported from the factory.
