FI-R's 700hp Ford Lightning..

Compilation of pics/videos, from our 2001 KB 2.6H powered Ford Lightning project, which was assembled in 2009. The truck makes in excess of 700hp, and lays down 630whp on a very low 14.5psi, on 93 octane fuel. While we've never cranked it up, it is very capable of making over 800hp on C16/high boost. The credit goes to Kenne Bell, and JLP Racing, for the excellent head/blower package..

Thanks for the info never had a fast ford, only fast GM's, that happens to the 4l60e and 80e when the tune is off

[Trav4011]

@crislt1 Yeah, unfortunately, it's a matter of the PCM not being fast enough to keep up. In some ways, it actually helps, though.. because you wouldn't want it short shifting into another gear when there is wheelspin. It would bog at some point. On slicks/drag radials it doesn't really happen.

Tune sucks cuz the truck is hitting the rev limiter before each shift, nice truck those

[Trav4011]

@crislt1 No, it doesn't.. You can't prevent that from happening in some situations. The factory PCM isn't fast enough to keep it from banging the limiter when there's massive wheelspin from 1st-2nd. People have the same trouble with the 4R70/75 in the 99-04 Mustang, and it's one of the biggest reasons that you try to find a Mach 1 automatic ECU. It had the faster processor, and could better manage the shifts.
