hey guys lookin at gettin a new ford truck when i get outta auto tech school. im really leanin on the lightning. wut kind of power can u get outta those. i know it has 380 hp and 440 ft/lb outta the factory but if i get one performance is the first thing i will do. i dont like all show no go. gotta go before show, plus its fun to pick on the little rice rockets when they pull up beside u and pop off their little fart can exhausted weed eater engines. sorry i cant stand rice rockets... but newayz i ws just wonderin wut the power output can be on that truck without engine swaps.

i own a 03 lightning, red. i have done everything from spark plugs to supercharger upgrades. currently i have an est. 650 hp. i to hate ricers. my current kill count is 19, including an srt4 modded neon,(that was the best one) ps: i destroyed it. anyways, i would recommend a pulley upgrade, supercharger upgrade, cam, and a heavy duty shift kit, & of course exhaust upgrades.

I do not care much for rice burners either even though I have owned two Datsuns and currently own a Suzuki they have remained stock cars with no bling at all.
But regarding the Lighting, I hope your new job once you are out of school pays well, a 380HP V8 will go through gas like crazy, and with that being a sport model your insurance payments are going to be higher than normal as well.
