You need to find a kit like this.

Then you will need most all of this list.

Plus a tune for your computer to make it all work.

Thanks for the reply...looks a little pricey..Thought maybe it could be done cheaper. I didn't know you would need that much extra stuff after buying a stock blower, intake, and other acc. from a lightning

Yeah,,,you need a lot of parts.
You can shop around and get a lot of it for less money.
Look on NLOC, NHTOC,LightningRodder and any SVT site or Ebay.
You can save some money,
there's a guy on here that did it for $2500. and did all the work himself.
But you should budget around $3500. or 4K for the job.More if someone else is doing the work.

It is worth every penny!!!

It can be done for closer to $2500 if you find deals like Ebay. Ford changed a lot of parts. Nowadays you can almost buy a complete used Lightning motor for less. I did complete swap on my 2003. It was realively easy. Always helps though to have factory truck next to your to run all the vaccuum and water hoses, and harness. Send me email and I'll send you an instruction sheet that MAD started and I added some additional points. Again MAD Enterprises, NLOC and NTHOC are all good sources of parts.

Hopefully you received installation notes I sent you for swap. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks Cobra, I got mine. There's a lot more to do than just bolt on the charger. But it's worth it. Now to locate all the parts. The tuner still has me baffled tho. TOO many to chose from and way too many opinions from fellow members to get the right one.

I got a L blower on my truck. It cost 2500 that included my mail order tune. Ran that tune for a year then spent 400 on a dyno tune, well worth the extra money. I had alot of friends with stock and some aftermarket parts. In the 2500 i got 4" lower, AFCO H/E, Metco Pulley, EGR delete, PCV delete, Injectors, fuel pump,....

I spent 3500 with new and used stuff then sold it before getting to install it. Alot of stuff I could have done cheaper but I'm picky.
