Default Lightning, Whipple and Trick.:)

Thought I would show some other things we do here at Trick. We do alot of custom work that deals with nitrous and FI. Some projects yall have already seen, like the maggie nitrous plate between the tub and upper intake. Others customers just do not want me taking pics of.

This Ford project for Kevin was nice to play with and he did not mind me taking picks.

Heres a little project we did for a Kevin on the east coast. He has one of the fastest lightnings in the country. In the past was using one of my nitrous plate set ups, in the mid plate with a stock blower on top.
Now has kicked it up to a 3.4 Whipple. Went a head a built a customer nitrous plate that goes between the whipple spacer and intake. And then built the custom elbow using a big *** GT throttle body.
The Stock elbow seemed a little lacking and the stock tbody just did not look right and we figured the Ford Gt super car had a larger air inlet why not the Lightning.?. I think it turned out nice.
When the mid box is removed the spark plugs should be a breeze to change.These are the unfinished pics.

I have a 2300 supercharger I can sell you if you want it......Just no manifold to go onto your truck. That being said, the 2300 would look nice on a lighting.

Right back at ya

For which Whipple. I have seen lowers for the 3.3 for LS7 and LS1/LS2. Not that they would fit under a truck cowl.

The thing is a regular sheet metal is just to tall. You have to go old school and look at the SBC intakes of the day. Very short, Very short runners as well..
