The Lightning from this vantage point appears pretty mild.

It is often a fine line between what is a true street car or truck in this case. On just about any website forum or at a cruise night you could stir up this great debate. So what do our viewers feel that meets the criteria in this situation and where does the line need to be drawn for reliability on the street? I am sure everyone has seen cars such as Larry Larson’s Nova that has dominated Drag Week, but do you think that cars like this could withstand the rigorous courses of daily driving or would it be a matter of maintaining it constantly. Well we came across this Ford Lightning that is pretty stout and based off the dyno numbers and boost levels it should be one heck of a threat on the street.

The turbo and sheet metal intake all sit nicely under the factory hood.

For all the details on this Ford Lightning head over to YellowBullet and visit the classifieds.

The owner started with a low mileage 2002 Ford Lightning, which was already a powerhouse from the factory with its blown 5.4 liter modular powerplant. A JLP prepared long block is in place and packed full of forged internals. A set of Stage 3 Patriot Performance heads sit atop the 5.4 with a custom sheet metal intake and Accufab throttle body. A 78mm turbo supplies the boost along with the fuel being supplied by twin Walbro pumps. The transmission received heavy upgrades along with a 10.5″ torque converter coming at 3500rpm stall speed. The owner of the truck currently has it for sale and at $21,000 it seems like a great but and you will even have two sets of wheels to roll on depending on your mood as you hit the street.
