Default Opinions on Ford Lightning

So here is the deal, we took in on trade the CLEANEST Lightning i have ever seen in my life yesterday. I snapped some pics on my phone but since i dont have a PDA i am sorry i will have them up later

Anyways this truck is an 02 has 64k miles on it and is FAR from stock, as usual one of the used car sales managers ( i am in finance) has not a DAMN clue what this thing is. I popped the hood and started it up and know it has the follwing after drving it:

Bigger than stock pulley (visually)
Intake (visually)
aftermarket ignition (visually)
mild cam (EASY to tell)
exhuast (visually after getting under it)
upgraded brakes (visuallly can tell there NOT the stock size and there drilled and slotted)
suspension is not stock either by looking at arms, bushings, springs, shocks...all NOT stock
aftermarket intercooler (water)
has some tranny mods as the tranny shifts FIRM AS crap and chirped going into 2nd.
By judging since i have had some pretty quick cars this truck is over 400hp just by feel i believe. The paint is so damn shiny it looks likes glass, no curb rash on the stock wheels, brand new set on Nitto 555's. oh and its black on black only aftermarket gauge is a air/fuel. SO needless to say i was quite shocked to find out they have less than 10k trade on this truck, and of course EMPLOYEES of our company can buy $300 over....guys this truck would pull 15k on ebay.. I put it out back and am VERY tempted to pull the trigger on this thing tommorow and flip it, but its so nice I would like to just keep it. ANybody have one of these here? I know a little about them from keeping up with forced inducted cars over the years.


The guy that traded it in was the ORIGINAL owner and left his number for anyone that wanted to talk to him about the truck, and I already called and left him a voice mail
