Hey guys I just bought a brand new 04 sonic blue lightning in september, and need some help on what mods i should do first to it. I know some stuff about cars/trucks, but I don't know where to start. Any ideas?? I'm lookin at a pulley/programmer package that will put me at 450 hp. Thanks!!

Welcome! I would go with a 4# pulley, cold air intake, and programmer (from a reputable tuner). That prolly won't get you up to 450 Hp though. More likely around 420-430 RWHP. That is what I found from my experience.

 

450 HP in a truck? Holy frijoles!!!

I see you're in Illinois LightninGirl, when you get done I'd like to see your truck

 

Headers and exhaust. Not only does it help performance, but it sounds so much nicer than stock Ford exhaust.

 

get some pics on here

 

450 isn't a lot these days. here are a few pix of the combo I am working on. It should be 800-900hp.
(i'm new here if my pix don't show just check my gallery)

450 really isn't a lot when you consider a stock L2 makes about 430. They claim 380, but most are at or above 350 at the wheels in stock trim.
