I just watched a video on this truck came from the factory.. eith about 196 horsepower.. witho the blower it got eight horsepower and 65ftlb of torque in does lower the power band
Mass air is a waste of time and money. Next step is PiMPxShift by Stinger Performance or Holley with Quick4 trans controller. I use the PiMP because it’s in the same 60 pin plug. It’s as close to plug and play as you will find.
I saw that Banks video too and thought it was a shame they put that out there, because they really did a disservice to these little Powerdynes, which are a great entry level blower. One of his problems is that he's still using the factory air box instead of an open conical filter, so he's probably losing 1-2 psi right there, and then if it has the stock pulley which is only good for 5 psi, he'll be lucky if he's making 4 psi. He's probably pulling too much timing as well. I put a Powerdyne pullied for about 6.5 psi on a '93 Lightning I had, and the only other mods were a shift kit, long tube headers with custom dual exhaust, smog pump delete, open conical air filter, and MSD6BTM ignition. The guy I sold it to dyno'd it and it made 307hp at the wheels.
That engine needs a set of heads and more boost. A lot of boost. I’m curious to see what those will do with a turbo set up. I would throw 150 shot of nitrous, that’s just the cheapest way to make power. Stud the heads and hit it with a 200 shot.
"Stud the heads and hit it with a 200 shot" is definitely car/truck guy talk haha! People who don't know anything about cars would just scratch their head.
@@fransiscolopez1305 I did that to my 95 cobra when I first got it. Kept blowing head gaskets. Stud’d the thing and never had another issue ever again. 🤷🏻♂️
Those are good numbers. Actually lighting hp numbers were under rated they usually put down in the 215-220 stock. My son dynoed his lightning last week there in the Houston area and it made a crazy number like 291
If you added after market heads, injectors and cam you will gain way more horsepower. Your stock heads and cam are holding that pro charger back. You would probably be north of 550hp
It's not a pro charger it's a powerdyne. Pro charger is a brand if centrifugal supercharger not an actual TYPE of supercharger I've seen this misconception alot.
@@musclecity06 from bone stock truck heads and cam to CNC ported high compression heads with big valves and a big cam on a boosted application can make more than 200hp all day long. Just the difference between generic aluminum heads with generic crap springs vs. a set of good heads with porting with better springs is 100+ hp alone
@@midnight347 you knew what I was talking about didn’t you? why don’t you waste your time driving that pos 03 shitstang instead of getting technical over something that doesn’t matter?

Bro! This is amazing!!! I was very disappointed to see banks video. Glad you made this video! I’d like to see banks check that powerdyne and engine, one of them might be faulty. Great job!
I got a full bolt on build on my white 95 my 8th mile time with junk converter was a 8 flat so there's a calculator out there that will give me my power range

Congrats on the numbers amigo. Makes me wanna push to get mine done now. Im in the middle of installing a new dizzy on mine. Cold weather put me to a halt haha. But if i were you i’d try and maxx system first before moving onto something else. Think a guy told me 9lbs is maxx for this setup cause of the internal belt.
Yeah I heard that also. I’m currently just adding new bearings & belt for the supercharger to get max output from it first. Then we’ll see we’re that puts me.
Thats pretty good gains from stock running gear... i just picked up a 94 single cab short bed f150 myself and my dad is wanting to do a lightning clone... heres a thing to think about tho... was that other guys truck a lightning? Cause a real lightning had GT40 heads on it which you can tell be the three ribs on the front of the cylinder head... if you have those then thats why you made way better power cause the GT40 heads are 150 cc intake runners compared to the 130-135 cc intake runners from the plain heads... my truck is a straight 6 which im thinking of upgrading just to have something different... it sounds like youre in texas, im down in the rgv... maybe after i get my truck built we could have a shoot out 🤷🏽♂️

Mass air, bigger injectors with a better fuel rail, at least. If you do mass air conversion, I wanna know what you’re using for that. appreciate the vids, man
Nice truck! Love the stance it has, looks like it’s ready to go eat! I’m in a similar situation where I’m adding boost to stock internals on 2010 4.6 3v and although it’s been very well maintained, I get nervous it’s gonna break something! But that’s part of the addiction! Great build!
Looks good I was going with mass air on mine but I have also heard of the holley system that someone else mentioned in the comments. I have no experience with either so I have no real opinion.🤔

Have you thought about tuning it yet? I’ve heard good things about pimpxshift ( more for cammed or or stroked 351) but with that power adder it might be great. I seem to hear it struggling to find a gear in your intro. I’m planning on running that setup one I get back to my lightning rebuild in May. Side note, what editor do you use? I like my cheaper Adobe but it doesn’t seem to like adding music or downloaded cut scenes and I’m trying to upgrade.

Definitely inspiring me with some tips tricks and ideas....the supercharger is on my wishlist but I’m going no power adder first because I can’t justify the extra 2 to 3k adder just yet ( basically I have to figure out a way to hide it from the wife 😂) keep em coming brother!

What transmission is in your truck ? And what's done to it ?
Stock trans with punisher valve body.

I use the PiMP because it’s in the same 60 pin plug. It’s as close to plug and play as you will find.

What kind of supercharger is itv
It’s a powerdyne, they’re old school not as efficient as others

@@JJBanuelos did he hit you up yesterday about the exhaust? He's been wanting side exit exhaust
Does your son have the 5.4 that would explain hp. But I really dont believe exhaust gave him that much hp

Appreciate it bro! It definitely has come a long ways!
To be honest its great where its at. Its safe on a old high milage engine and very reliable. So me its perfect the way it is. Great job!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it. I’m going to be adding just a little more boost & should still be reliable with a little more power.
Thanks for using us for the dyno and exhaust man - Richard
No thank you guys for having me. You guys do really great work! Can’t wait to go back once I rebuild the supercharger for more boost!
Are you still running the factory fuel pump?
Yes but I also have an inline walbro 255 pump that’s activated via boost controlled by Hobbs switch

Basically just with the fmu, & what the injectors can push out. Timing is adjusted via the MSD boost box.
