Ok here is what I have been thinking about for a long time now. I have a fully built short block waiting to be installed, with a JDM ported lower intake, JDM ported heads, JDM custom stage 2.25 street cams (lope harder than stage 2 but not a drastic as stage 3's) Fluidyne Heat exchanger, 60# injectors, 255 lph fuel pumps, and so on...........

To my question, does any company make a Turbo Kit for the Lightnings? I really don't want a custom fabbed kit. I met Chillfactor from theHALO lightning board and he is putting a turbo on his.

I wanted a 3.3 Whipple, but we all know that it will never be mass produced, I'm not a big fan of KB's since they had a problem with oil leaking out of the snout and also the rotors siezing up, although they have fixed them. I have always loved turbos and have the money to buy one, just wanting to know the best place to get the best one.

just curious where you got yours done and for how much. pm me a price please

With that being said I may just sell my block and get the new JDM 32V longblock and put the turbo on that

Here's an interesting link for you. I guess they're coming out with a kit soon.

Polk Performance

And here's the original thread where I got that info

Default just a mod or two

I have very little done to my 2003 but love it. Just bought a 6# lower pulley and a Kenne Bell throttlebody. Before this was installed I had just a tune and a small shot of nitrous from behind the drivers seat and a great tune (thanks Tony G at HP performance jacksonville florida) and it netted a 12.89 @ 107. Dynoed 402hp and 555 torque. I tried to dyno it again after the pulley (with the nitrous)and tb install but the stock plugs could not handle it. However the performance now is very similar to what it was on the nitrous on just the motor. I am enjoying my truck FAR more than my mustang Gt.
