    Some are.. but most aren't.. Just like there's a few "outspoken" folks on this site, there's just as many on the Lightning/Harley sites..

    The truth is.. we have to be inginuitive, just like you guys.. because, honestly, there's just not a lot of aftermarket parts for these trucks. Outside of companies like JLP, WMS, etc.. no one is really picking up this outdated platform.

    BTW, there's a few 400-450hp N/A Cammer 5.4's out there. Granted.. 4 valve heads in stock form flow decently.. but, you guys definitely have the better heads if you're comparing LSx versus 2, 3 or 4 valve Ford modular heads.

    Should be a fun gathering. We'll all learn a thing or two about the other makes.
