When you're dealing with 5400lbs, depending on accessories and configuration, IMO its pointless especially since the kit with coolant, supercharger, heat exchanger, hoses, intake... has got to add a good 200lbs.
That kind of weight is the same reason the Gen 3 Lightning was cancelled. Despite 500hp, they couldn't meet performance targets.

Isn't that almost identical to our Lightnings ???
Add maybe 150 lbs. for the blower package - it is still a pretty competitive power to weight ratio for today's trucks, IMHO...
But, it is ugly as sin and is not as mod friendly as our Lightnings.
Ford hit a home run with the Lightning - I hope it isn't their last....
