New Triton V-8
New guy here. I don't have a Lightning just yet, hopefully in a couple of years I will. For now I drive a Mustang GT (not too shabby in my book, but no Lightning). Here's a link to the article from the Ford website. SOunds like good news for the 2005 Lightning.

The net result is an engine that delivers 300 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, and 365 ft-lb of torque at 3,750 rpm, both best in class for a light duty pickup. The all-new, aluminum cylinder head — with two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder, for 24 valves in total — and a revised cast-iron block balance this impressive power with better fuel efficiency and quieter operation.
This is N/A right? What would it be with a S/C on it?

The problem with a SC on it is:
2 intake valves. The air is forced in so the improvement of flow is nearly non existent.
Variable valve timing. I don't know how this works, but it may not work well at all once SC'd.
What would work great is 1 intake 2 exhaust (or 4v), no variable timing, a twin screw, and drag slicks.
