So basically its just a 5.4 P.I. motor with flat top pistons. And the cheap air intake mods, K&N, Flowmaster dual exhuast.
So you have a PI swap with even more taken out at the gasket? I wonder what compression you actually are getting with that setup. I bet it boogies.

Thanks a lot. I think I'm planning on 4.56s since i have the Lightning swap awaiting to go on eventually. May even settle with a set of axles with 4.10s and a true track from another member here

4.56s is the way i would be leaning if I had an swap waiting in the wings. I would love a set of 4.10 loaded axles so I wouldnt have to fuss with the install. Hell if the price was right I would drive to VA to pick them up. Lol
