Ok so i just picked up a ported m122 and im wondering if there is a hp difference in the johnny plate and tps plate. Also wondering what throttle body are you guys using and what intakes. Will a steeda gt500 intake fit in the lightning? Thinking of using the whipple mechanical gt500 throttle body and steeda intake with a slot maf.

Subscribing because I have an M122 coming.

JPS plate is a better product for a number of reasons. Read my post in the current group buy thread.

My setup:

JPS midplate
Joker ported M122, stock 3.0 upper pulley
Roush F150 blower elbow
JPS Monster throttle body adapter
170mm Monster throttle body
Siliconeintakes.com coupler, 90* 4" aluminum pipe, coupler
BA2400 maf
Open filter
6lb lower pulley

Stock heads/cams, built bottom, 9:1, longtubes, 3" catless exhaust, truck makes 20psi by 5500rpms in 100* heat....I will be dropping to a 4lb lower come winter
Gotta love more power, less pulley.

Eventually I'll redo the intake with a monster setup, slit maf and some type of ram air setup.

I made 496 rwhp with a stock ported eaton, frsb, ported pi heads, stage 2 comp cams and a lfp sbtb lets see what the ported m122 swap will make

Also have jba shortys, bassani exhaust and catless mids

Much more. Anxious to see the numbers. I dont have a good local dyno or the spare funds for a session atm.

Slightly better displacement, but the biggest thing is rear fed and more volume available.
From the 112 rotors to the filter...the intake on the lightning is terribly restrictive.
I picked up 3psi when switching from a L Tbody to the 170 on my 122.

Do you think 575-600 is reasonable on 93 oct?

stock long block...self ported m122..stock upper. 4lb lower.. LT.. lightning sbtb...
on e85 made 501hp 572tq.. see about 16 psi and 17* timing ...

i don't feel the flat spot people say about taylors plate but then again i don't run an aggressive pulley combo .

On my test truck, nothing changed but swapped from tps plate to my plate 5hp and 20tq.

On a tvs it was almost 60tq gain and like 20hp

Tvs numbers with back to back tps vs my plate

For people pushing it the JPS plate is a must.

Will a jlt cold air intake from a 07-09 gt500 fit?

Interested in this swap as well. Been out of the Lightning modding game for awhile, but I've always been intrigued with the m122 swaps.

Yes if you ditch the airbox or relocate the coolant overflow.
I'm running a complete 2010 gt500 stock cai on my personal truck

Doing a group buy now so best time to get in on it
