so what have you 5.4 guys done to upgrade your engine
 
i would like to do some engine upgrades to improve power and or torque, wondering what people have done. im not talking about intakes that improve by like maybe 5 hp.

I did a k&n cold air intake, magnaflow catback exhaust and a superchips tuner with the cold air intake tune on my 2010 fx4 and i notice a pretty big difference. cost me about $1200 and truck leaves about 40 feet of rubber on the road without using the brakes now. so if going from just chirping the tires to leaving about 40 feet of rubber on the road isnt a big enough difference for you then hope you have lots of money for a supercharger. good luck with your mods.

Zero. If I have to sell my Roush (nerve issue has made my right hand and arm kinda useless right now), I will supercharge the truck. That will hopefully feed my need for speed. If I get this nerve thing cured, I will leave the truck engine alone.

Not a damn thing, lol. She has more than plenty of power for all my needs!

Like you RMR, I haven't done anything, and am satisfied with the factory set-up. I love to see what other folks are doing with their trucks, but I'm too old and slow to burn 'em down any more.

Yep, I'm in the same boat as you. Couldn't agree with you more! ;)

No you can't. Don't get his hopes up with posts like this.
