i found a used (only like 6000 miles on it) holley thunder SC kit on ebay. is it worth me to spend $1500 on it if it has all of the parts needed? i've heard a lot of bad talk about this kit so i was just wondering if it would be worth my time and money. please let me know.

I've seen one on there a few times.

For $1500 thats a good deal. It's not a bad SC really, it's just that it is INSANELY $$$ when new. You need a Lightning alternator and bracket too I think.

Here is an install with dyno #'s and stuff...

ya, thats what the guy said. thanks for the info. any other opinions would be appreciated too

 

also just found a full setup (fuel pump, injectors, intake, SC, etc.) from wrecked lightning. wich is better? lightning or holley?

 

Lightning setup 1000 times better!
Look at the belt setup on the holley if there's a pic. The way it is designed,,the belt tensioner pulls the belt away from the top pulley. Looks like you would have terrible belt slip!

oh good call. i can totaly see that. stupid design no doubt. i could prolly fab something to make it work better but i think i'll just stick with the lightning setup. thanks a bunch!

 

that kiton ebay is teh one taht's for sale in teh classifieds here... the guy selling it is a total tool and he doesn't have the conplete kit like he's advertising




listen to phil, the Lightning harley swap is a much better kit and is upgradable where the holley is limited

 

i was worried about that. thats why i didn't buy it when i found it a month ago. good thing i waited it looks like Lightning it is hands down! thanks for the help guys!

quick question though. to convert my stock 5.4 to the lightning supercharger setup, what is EVERYTHING i will need? like lightning computer? or just get mine tuned? and any sort of plumbing needs and what not...i'm new to this whole supercharger thing and just want to know what to expect.

please let me know. thanks.

What year is your truck?
You should be good with your stock computer with a tune for the swap.
Here's what all you need.

Mike @ Mad Enterprise will tell you what you MUST get and what you can get away without. You don't need the Lighting ECU or harness, some use the harness but all you have to do is extend 2 wires on yours and it will save you $$.

 

ok. how do i get ahold of him?
