LIGHTNING or F150

I'm doing a Mass Air conversion on my F350/E4OD, I need to know what computer would be the best to use? the lightning, or the standard '94/95-5.0/5.8? mind you i am running a 427W stroker now... with a 272H crane cam, trick flow intake and world heads.

I think as long as it's for a 5.8L even the lightning one, you will be looking at getting a chip burned for that motor.

Whichever is cheapest if you can't find on at a local junkyard. They are all rebuilt by the same company.

Stock lightnings were not mass air, but the mass air conversion computer is probably what you want to look for.

'93 lightnings were SD, '94 were SD, and i believe a few later ones,(Calif. models) were MA, '95 they were all mass air. from what i've read. thanks for the site, i'll try it.

Talk to Blurry94 on this board, he is also on NLOC and could probably help you out. I don't think any of the first generation lightnings were mass air from the factory. The part number for the lightning mass air computer that fordfuelinjection.com lists is a '98 part number.
