hypertech power module

[93lightning]

i have a 1993 ford lightning all i have done is exhaust, pullies, bumped up timing, k&n air filter im trying to figure out whats next and i was wondering about the power module by hypertech if anyone could tell me what they think if its worth it or not i was thinking about a shift kit but not shure

 

[Lightning Kid]

From what Ive heard is that that a chip is not needed with a nearly stock L, but a ftvb would be a great mod to do.

I'd go with the Factorytech valvebody or traction bars.Chip not going to do much since you've already bumped your timing up.

 

[93lightning]

where would be a good place to find a ftvb and what is an estimate cost

you wont see much of a hp increase with a chip, but drivability is sure better.

i looked at the ftvb i think thats what im going to go with i appreciate everybodys help

how much of a difference does the ftvb do, what does it do exactly, will it bring down my 1/4 mile times, and how hard is it to install. seems like it would be a good investment from what i have read in this thread and in others.
thanks in advance,
Dave

It makes the shifts more crisp/firm.My truck went from a 15.37 to a 15.14 with that and a set of 1.72 roller rockers.Consistency also improved greatly.

matt, did you install it your self, if so how difficult was it to do?

 

[Matt95L]

It was easy drain tranny oil,remove tranny pan(be careful or you'll get dumped on),unbolt stock valvebody,bolt new stock valvebody in,put tranny pan back on,refill tranny oil.Its been awhile but i think thats everything.

doesn't sound to complicated. once i get a job im going to have to invest in a ftvb. thanks for the help.

the directions that come with it are step by step and even have photo's... you will need an inch pound torque wrench.
