The Ford Lightning has a lot of potential as well as its sister the Harley Davidson. The most common mods are a high flow air filter/intake and 4lb or 6lb lower pulley. This increases the boost from about 8psi to 12-14 psi. This will increase the power from about 345 rwhp to close to 400 rwhp with torque reaching as high as 500 rwtq. The 5.4L motor has the potential to make even bigger power but the stock rods are too weak. Are you running a “mail order tune” with higher boost? With the high cylinder pressures that comes with added boost it’s even more important to make sure your air/fuel and timing are safe. You can break these motors easily with a “bad” tune. We also offer a custom transmission tune that was designed after extensive testing on the street for maximum performance as well. It’s included in every custom tune.
When tuning we make sure your air/fuel is safe and you don’t have too much timing. SCT’s “canned” tune actually puts too much timing in this motor, especially when it’s cooler. We make the required changes in the tune to make sure the motor’s safe. We data log as many as 20 parameters while tuning to make sure everything’s safe and working properly.

Ever wonder why your 300 hp Ford truck doesn’t go that good? That’s because thanks to the warranty and emissions departments you’re not getting all the power available! Here’s some results from tuning a stock F150:
As you can see, the stock pull (blue) has way less midrange hp and torque. That’s because the stock calibration keeps the air/fuel ratio too lean to make power and the electronic throttle keeps the throttle closed until higher in the rpm’s. When the truck shifts, it closes again! We fix all that with the custom tune! We data log as many as 20 parameters while tuning to make sure everything’s safe and working properly.
There are many tricks to tuning these trucks correctly and we’ve got over 12 years experience in doing them. We offer the same Drivability Guarantee! Not happy with the way the car drives? We’ll retune it NO CHARGE as long as there are no mechanical issues! Need to pass emissions? With the introduction of the OBDII Readiness tests in New England it’s harder than ever to get heavily modded cars to pass! We can help! Have you installed High Flow Cats and got the dreaded “Check Engine” light? We have a fix for this! As a matter of fact, if we tuned your car we’ll guarantee you’ll pass the test and get your sticker. We even run a “simulated obdii readiness test” on the car when you leave to make sure it’s ok.
