To settle an arguement,how much can you realistically get a lightning charger swap done for? I'm saying $2500 if you're lucky he says $1000 at most. I know the answer,but just some back up.

I'll have close to 2500 in mine. And that's 90% used parts.

No problem. Speaking of, [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION] did you use your stock fuel rail with the swap? Is the N/A regulator sufficient for the increased pressure?

I will have right at $2500 including a full porting of the top end by Joker. I have also spent less than each person for each individual part. I couldn't replicate what I have bought for under $3000

Return style isn't too bad. Unless your 500+ no need to change up rails besides a regulator. The 3/8 line is fine and return is fine for that.
