Lightning question

[DieselJim]

I recently picked up my 04 Lightning, and am wondering if this truck will benefit in the same way my old 7.3L Diesels did, by installing a shift kit in the 4R100 tranny. Lots of wasted torque, as I can feel. '

One other question. I have an 03 Cobra, too. I like that 6sp tremec, and am wondering if there is any chance I can mate a tremec to the Lightning's 5.4.

Thanks in advance. Looking for suggestions, not smart a$$ replies, as is often the case on this forum.

i think a shift kit is worth more for the maintenance of the transmission that the performance added. i know for one that adding a transgo to my truck has extended the life of it. and of course it will allow you to make use of that power a little better. but like i said, i look at a shift kit as more of an insurance policy...

i have seen talk of a manual conversion on a lightning.....here is the thread if you want to read it over........

You should install a Factory Tech Vavle Body in the transmission....it is probably one of the best "Bang for the Buck" mods you can do to a Gen 2 Lightning
