Default Horsepower increase question

Ok, i have an 06 lariat with the 5.4, and ive heard they have around 303 hp stock. I have Flowemaster super 44s, a Banks air intake system, and a bigger throttle body. What kind of horsepower incrase does all this give?

Not really sure, but I would think around 340 maybe? Get a programmer, such as the Edge evolution, and it will give you a good increase. Just make sure that if you run it on a power setting that you use 91 octane or higher. If not you can cause detonation in the engine, causing damage.

For real rwhp, probably somewhere around these 2 until you get a tune.

realistically speaking, youre are probably looking at only about 290-300hp to the wheels even with all those mods.

sad, but true
