You know what is scarier Bernd, after few conversation with the engineering
guy who does the work for Ford, the rumor mill is that the 2003 Ford
Lightning will be reintroduce with a new blower unit that will be leap frog
in HP numbers. Now seeing the PFM unit called the Gorilla, a dual Eaton
with a chiller unit, this maybe the answer I suspect. A 450-500HP Ford
truck.

Not to defend "the other guys" here...but you stated "Chevy and Ford are
always
one step BEHIND."...explain the Lightning. You know...the truck that, in
factory form, can take most of our modified trucks and chew them up for
breakfast.
We spend thousands of dollars on modifications (Superchargers, Headers,
Nitrous, Throttle Bodies, Cams, M1's, etc...) and all they have to do to hit
the 12's is a simple air cleaner/mass airflow change and a "chip"...for no
more
than $500 in some cases.
Again, i'm not trying to defend them...but we need to be a little bit more
careful about what we say about the competition.
