The new 1999 =BD Ford Lightning will have a SOHC 5.4L Triton V8 w/ a Eaton =
supercharger putting out about 6psi of boost.
It is rated at 325hp & 450 ft-lbs of torque. It is supposed to run=20
0-60mph in 6.5sec and the 1/4mi in about 14.5sec.

I think a RC DAK R/T for =2420K is a better deal than =2430K for the =
Lightning.

One could also spend =243K on a Vortech for the R/T and even the playing =
field significantly.

P.S. Get your facts straight Jim before you start bragging about a truck =
that isn=27t even in production yet=21
