I'm looking into making a performance truck. Would my 4.8L be able to stand up to the challenge? I'm going to through it. Heads, cams, supercharger, etc... I'm not looking for a 10 sec truck. I still want it as a daily driver. How many horses could I get out of the 4.8L? IF worse comes to worse. I can always get another truck to work on. I also want to kill ford lightnings.

 

As many as you've got the $$$$$$$ for.

 

www.magnacharger.com will get you in the 13's. I am sure others will offer up their opinions too.....

 

Do a 6.0L swap with the mods you listed and you could own a lightning easily.

 

Thats my first product I am buying.

 

STS or Radix will do the job.

 

Radix on a 6.0L with a FLP 4L65E tranny, 4.10 gears, and an eaton posi, 212/218 cam, and Ls6 heads, your truck will be fast then. The lighting will choke on your fumes

 

4.8 w/turbo proven about 500 rwhp fugitaboutit

 

parish8 is the guy to ask about the limits of an FI 4.8 if you completely do a good build up with heads larger chambers and a turbo with cam most lighnings wont stand a chance unless heavily modded. I think some guys have seen around 450-500 rwhp on a complete setup. And of course you need the traction and tranny to hold up to that. get ready to spend spend spend

 

Ive beat a few L's in my day.
