Asking for someone on the 10th gen fb page. Is there a way to use a lightning blower on a 4.6? There's not much difference between 5.4 and 4.6 so I figure someone has come up with something

Sounds like you have done alot of work to it. You don't have a PI engine right? I have thought about getting a bigger TB and lightning injectors if I could pick them up for cheap but that probably won't happen

It just feels flat and the rpms climb slowly from 2k to a little after 2500. Not really a big deal I never really drive it like this lol

Only issue I could see is if the head ports are different on the 4.6, I'm other sure.

I think you can with plates. Not sure if they have to be custom made or if someone is selling them now.

That's all I done, - non PI . The heads have never been removed.

Larger TB won't help, neither will larger injectors. Well one step larger injector might get you a little more up top. Not sure you would notice it. Keeping the injectors updated helps a lot imo. They need a good sonic cleaning every now and again. No snakeoil lol.

Oh yeah I would only do it if I got them both for really cheap. Is sonic cleaning a common things or is that something they have to be sent off for

Depending on prices, you can buy freshly cleaned for as much as it cost you to send yours out. They get tired and slow as well, - reman replacements are cleaned and tested.
