Had a neighbor who was a friend.he had a modified ford lightning believe it was an 04. I sold him my zex Nitrous kit I took of my truck and installed it for him.I recommend he use the smallest 50 shot jets to give it an intercooler effect .but you know how those lightning owners are knowing everything and all.so he puts the 150 jets in and wanted me to take it for a ride which I did.apparently the little engine that couldn't didn't like the nos.at bout 6300 rpm the rods came apart .it knocked the starter mounting pad off put two holes in the block as well as tore up the pan.the rings looked like a slinky ,needless to say he was pissed.seeing how he had a used engine I offered to pay for half of another used engine.he wanted a brand new one.I even offered to pay half of a johnny lightning long block he said no.he wanted it stock like it was new.so he sued me and my insurance company for 10 grand.that Oem long block was 8 plus labor.he went ahead and had it done by the local ford dealer.it never ran right again he finally sold the truck.we settled out of court for 4500- his lawyers fees.so he got screwed.the moral of the story don't ever drive a ford lightning.I heard how weak the rods are from top builders like johnny lightning.it may cost u a fortune.pos
