The Lightning uses an Eaton M112 intercooled (water to air) supercharger
which displaces 112ci. The engine itself is a 5.4L SOHC that's found in
the regular F150's, the only differences are 8.4:1 dished forged pistons
and a larger air filter and intake box. Fuel is sent through eight 40#
injectors and twin 130lph fuel pumps. Exhaust has four catalysts and a
two-into-one muffler. Only tranny is an E4OD 4-spd from the diesel
lineup with 3.55's out back. Sway bars are 31mm front and 23mm rear,
ride height has been dropped 1/2" in the front and 2" in the rear. Rear
suspension is a 9 3/4" limited-slip with 5 leaf springs instead of the
standard 3. The shocks are staggered to prevent wheel-hop. Brakes are
12.1" front with twin-piston calipers and 13.1" rear with standard
4-wheel ABS (rotors are vented). Wheels are 18x9.5" with 295/45/ZR18
Eagle F1's. Only body style is a regular cab with the flareside
shortbed. Output is spec'ed at 360hp and 440 lb-ft. 0-60 estimated
at 5.8 sec, 1/4mi at 14.6 @97 and top speed @140. Production is limited
to 4K units for 1999. What else do you want to know?
