Lightnings are 380/450 rated....probably add a little bit to that to get real world numbers. That is a Eaton head unit right? Is the kit intercooled? What psi is the kit rated at? Oh and yeah the extra valve will help the new 5.4's over the Lightning 5.4's. The 3V heads flow more than even well ported 2V heads out of the box.

It is a Magnuson Head unit with Eaton internals. This is running at 7 psi and is intercooled.

I agree with you there, they are heavy suckers. But the fit and finish is damn nice.

We are working in conjunction with Powerworks on this system. The calibration will be a PCM swap for now, and eventually be done just like our GM line with the superchips tuner. Just an FYI, Powerworks is a company owned by MAHLE Powertrain, MAHLE Powertrain does alot of calibration work for the OEM market.
