Well, I figured if I sell my other truck I could afford a 2500-3200 supercharger kit. I can get the fms 6psi powerdyne from summit for 2029.00, the powerdyne 6 psi for 2995.00, the kenne bell 1500 6 psi kit for 3199, or the vortech s-trim for 3095.00. Which kit is the most complete, best performing, most reliable, etc. Any advice from experience would be appreciated. :confused:

It's all according to how you intend on using your truck ?!

Towing & Big-Block-Like torque,......... Kenne Bell 2200
1/4 mile racing & most power,.............Vortech
Street, with ocasional strip pass,..........Power-Dyne


I've had a Dyne,......and now have a Vortech. Best move I ever made! I went from a 12.97 @ 104 with the Dyne,.........to a 12.41 @ 108 with the Vortech. No other changes !! :joy:

I'm from Michigan and I have the kenne-bell 1500 on my truck running around 7lbs. It is great for towing and playing around town. At the track I believe they will put a stock Lightning around a 14.4. Like what 93WHITELIGHTNING said, just depends on how you use it. PM me if your interested in checking it out some time. I'm up in Midland right now. - Brian

Hey 93whitelightning,did you convert to mass air.If not how did you get the speed density computer from screwing up at wot.I've heard of using a check valve to the map sensor but I;m not sure how to do that.Any help would be appreciated..
I am still runnig S/D and I have no problems i am running a EEC tuner with 42lb inj and a vortech t-trim with 20psi of boost It all depends on the cam that is the main thing when staying s/d you have to keep it around stock lobe sep 114.

Hey Justin..Do you run a check valve to prevent the MAP sensor from getting boost.Although I'm doing this in a Mustang,I'm figuring the same rules apply.I'm using a Crane Interceptor ll,and the car runs great until WOT or boost comes on.I think boost is getting to the Map sensor and it puts the EEC into a brain cramp.I'm currently running one check valve but maybe I need to run two.Just wondering what you did to correct that problem..or is it a non issue in Lightnings?...Thanks...

Actually, the Novi 2000 is a better blower than the Vortech S and T trim. I believe there was even an article that showed it out performing the YS-Trim. They are both excellent blowers though.
Quality is top notch on both.

yeah ill agree with that but no one makes a novi2000 kit for lightnings so that choice is not an option (unless you can fab your own brackets and such)

im running stock heads and cam with a ys trim at 15 #s boost. ive run a best of 11.74 @ 113 with this setup thru a intercooler. im partial to the ys out of all of them...vortechs reliability cant be beat....hands down.
