1994 Lightning, how much is it worth?
Guy is selling a 94, I'd like to buy it, but dont know much about the valuesw of these trucks. How much do you guys think its worth?
160,000 miles, motor/trans not rebuilt, very nice paint, all stock except flowmasters, home made traction bars (look pretty ugly), and a minispool (will have to be changed) Oh and the AC has been removed. as far as I know everything else works.

Guy said today he'd take $5000 for it, and I drove it. Loved it except the minispool. I might could get $5000 out of my car if I find the right person looking for an SVO mustang.
So that change anybodys mind, or the miles still to high? truck runs and shifts great, as far as I can tell from driving it its all stock (still has low end torque and good idle, ignition not advanced, ETC...)

5K would be a decent deal for that one. I'd get rid of the spool as well for street duty.
Rancho used to offer a solid set traction bars for this model/year and the current GEN 1 owners love 'em. There is another aftermarket company that makes something similar now, but the price is outrageous and it takes some time to get them. Here's a shot of the Ranchos on my 94:

There is an aftermarket mass air swap that uses a Mustang ECU and a stand alone transmission controller. There are other aftermarket kits that have been discontinued like the one from Ford. It's a much simpler design, and finding one now is extremely rare. Another option is to re-pin the stock harness for SEFI or find an engine and transmission harness from a wrecked mid/late 90's F-150 with mass air and E4OD transmission.
As for the traction bars, I'll post measurements a little later.

From my own experience, I've had great success tuning my mass air system for my supercharged application. The cost for a stand alone system isn't cheap, and most do require an additional transmission controller for trucks equipped with an electronic transmission. And the only limitation I ran into was a pegged MAF, which wasn't a problem after I installed another that was calibrated for that properly.

well your probably right for a street car. i dunno ive always delt with map sensors in hondas and what not. so im used to that whole concept. i can understand running a stand alone you won't get the fuel mileage and the adjustabilty of say a stock computer where when your baro pressures change and your computer compensates for altitude and air pressure and what not. i can see where a stand alone doesnt use any of that
