Lightnings are made for performance, those trucks are supposed to be fast, you went adn bought a truck that is supposed to drive you to and from work so you gonna have to dump some money into it to get it to run wit a truck thats supposed to be on the drag strip

4.10's, headers, 3000 stall, tune, drag radials, 150 shot of nitrous is gonna be a good bit of work, id say your lookin at about $2000-$2500 just in the parts and the tune. then id have to say your gonna spend about another ATLEAST $1500 to have it all installed if your not doing it yourself.

Its still a Ford and you have a GM....you have the ability to make that truck as fast as you want without paying the premium for a name....All a lightning is is a Supercharged F150 RCSB...Just make a Turbo Charged Silverado 1500
