Lower compression for a supercharged engine, funny how such a simple thing is so important. The 5.4 in the Lightning has lower compression than a standard 5.4 but with SC it blows others away. Shows how far cars have come since I was a kid racin Chevy V8s. These small 4 cylinders putin out HP numbers unheard of back then.
