Seeing just how impressive the TVS blowers are on other applications, we decided to do an alternative blower on my boy’s Lightning. This old Ford Racing 2.3L that was once offered for the GT500 crowd was used in place of what we typically do, a 2.3L Whipple.

These take a good bit of extra work if you have the means to do so, such as firewall mods( including keeping wipers), use of a manifold adapter, Roush elbow, TB change, and several small custom changes to wrap it all up.

Limited mostly by the stock PI head casting and 93 OCT, as with more engine speed, boost would rocket up to 20lb easily on the 4lb lower/2.93 upper. On E85 tune, 20lb wasn’t at all a concern. With only having a spare 6lb lower on hand, we swapped out and made 19lbs through midrange, 22lbs @ 6K, and was rewarded with 659/739Tq.

Despite taking more work to install, these are a reliable and powerful option if you can score one of these reasonably. •
Mod list:
•Sauls Performance tune on SCT
•Manley rods / Mahle pistons
•Comp 102600 shelf cams
•Non ported PI heads w/ spring upgrade
•Ford Racing 2.3L TVS
•VMP TB
•Custom air intake
•Walmart headers..yes Walmart
•Magnaflows
•4LB lower 2.93 upper on 93OCT
•6LB lower 2.93 upper on E85
•ID injectors / Fore fuel system
•Innovate WB / Ethanol gauge

Charly returned with his ‘13 Shelby for some Stainless Works headers. Although we’ve used other brands for this application, this was our first for using SW. We were quite impressed with the overall fit and finish and will indeed recommend again!

We previously tuned this car with the oem manifolds and decided to strap it down again and see what gains were available. On one of our previous posts, it made 690whp/690tq. With no timing adjustments, it picked up 39/39 at peak with roughly 50 in the midrange!

Mod list:
•Sauls Performance tune
•SW headers
•Ford Racing 65 MM TB
•JLT 123
•2.4 upper pulley
•Magnaflow catback
•DW95’s
•Boost a pump
•3.73 gears

One of the simplest and most satisfying builds we’ve done to date.

We started with an extremely clean, stock-motor truck that we installed a Whipple on back in 2014. Fast forward to recently, and the 150,000-mile motor began making some mysterious bottom-end noises, even though it still ran great. We’d had a fairly basic build planned for a while, and it was finally time to put that plan into motion. Blaine King wanted a throwback to the early days when these trucks were more prevalent, and we were all for it.

Now complete, this truck will see some friendly track time with us there for trackside support. Full weight, no ice-down sessions—just a basic cooldown, a little prep, and have some fun. We’re thrilled to relive the old days, not just reminisce!

Vehicle details: Fresh built bottom end with Manley rod/piston combo, ported PI heads, some old JDM cams, an early generation 2.3 Whipple on 20 # up top, JDM/kooks headers, single big magnaflow, E85 fuel system, built trans, plus tuning, all done here..in house. Would it have made more with some TFS heads, electric fan, an updated whipple, and a cam change…sure!

If you want one of the cleanest inside and out Lightnings out there, this is it with just under 800 hp/800 tq to the wheels! We had the pleasure of tuning this truck back in ‘24, so I can vouch for the cleanliness and workmanship that went in to Brandon’s truck.

During a previous tuning session, this Lightning showed signs of converter slippage. The owner took the truck home, pulled the transmission, and followed our recommendation to inspect the stator-shaft seal and converter.

The stator-shaft seal was found rolled up and lodged inside the converter, hence the slip issue. Since the converter was already questionable, we supplied a known-good used Circle D converter to go back in the truck.

Afterward, the converter worked great—but the truck had no overdrive and crazy IAT2 readings. Further diagnosis revealed a faulty solenoid pack and bad IAT2 pigtail. Once repaired, overdrive and accurate IAT2 readings returned.

Then, it developed a severe lean-out up top. We added more E85 despite registering plenty on gauge, and the issue disappeared—but the fuel gauge never moved. Turns out, it doesn’t work.

The customer will address the gauge, but the important part is that this PI-headed 2.6L KB truck is now shifting correctly and making safe, repeatable power.

Reminder: Bring your vehicle with plenty of fuel and let your tuner know about any known issues upfront. It saves time for everyone.
