I haven't seen a turbo lightning, but a while back on the "trucks" show they had a "grabber blue" f-150 that was turbo and had ~450rwhp. It was nick named "The Grabber." If you happen to find any info about this truck or any other turbo 99+ f-150 please share the info.

Funny you mention that. I was just down to my tuner yesterday dicussing my "soon-to-come" built motor the three options included Kenne Bell, Works 140 or a turbo. He is leaning towards a turbo. I myself have never seen one....but if I decide that route....will definitely post pics on the progress

Looks like you are down to 2 -- Works is gone.

If I start a company that doesnt actually produce products will you invest? I'll sell you a prototype.

These are exactly the types of rumors / comments I was referring to... I say they havent folded and you imply that I am somehow part of the company and that maybe the blower I run is a prototype, which just isn't true. Works has produced around 50 kits....

Just because lightning 140 kit production has slowed, doesnt mean the company has "folded" or is "no more".

They are focusing on something else at the moment...

We have a truck coming from across the country to our shop for a custom turbo setup. No details at this time, but I am really into doing it. Should be sweet .

OK. Sorry. I didn't mean to be so pessimistic. Would it be more accurate to say the lightning works 140 kit is dead?
