Decide if you have the money for Forced Induction or stay N/A. Both are gonna cost some money to run good. Here is circusboy's progress N/A with an 07. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=406694

Race him on a cold day. Doesn't take to much if its less than 40 degrees out. Especially if he's pulleyed down and has stock rods.That blower loves the cold air but the rods don't.

I know nav05 ran a 14.6 with long tubes 4.10 and a cam on his 4.8. I think a stock lightning will run mid 14.0s maybe he had a plugged fuel filter or a slipping belt or a plugged up cat. I don't think stock 4.8 could beat a healthy lightning.
