you could get 450-800 HP out of the 5.8, depending on how much you spent. The part of your post i didnt care to much for was where you said a lightning is just bigger brakes and nice wheels. It does have nice wheels, along with a Hi-po engine, tranny, rearend, and nice interior. Not to mention it was limited production. In 93 there were only a little over 2,500 black Lightnings made, and just over 2500 red ones. I dont know of any other 10 year old truck that the loan value is still $7000 and resale is about 10,000. by the way nice rims dont make it a 15 second 1/4 mile truck.
