Default tips for a beast 5.4l 2valve

I just posting this for you guys who want power from your 5.4l. So far what I be done to my truck is great it a 5.4 with a stage3 port and polish on the heads. Cold air intake edge power programmer jba headers and mac side exit exhaust.it also has a a bbk throttle body which I just put on it was worth every cent.I just recently drove to Mustang 2007 ands 2004 didn't buy either because my truck was quicker ha ha well I will be doing more mods here soon so I will let anyone who wants to know what's they do for performance.

Yea ok, your 5500lb truck is quicker than an 07 mustang... either the mustang was a V6 or your truck has forced induction.

Just bought trickflow heads, more aggressive cam, arp head stud bolts, longtube headers, CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, and a tuner. I'm gonna rebuild it from the bottom-up in the next two months (I'll start a thread for it once I get started). Sounds like our trucks would be a good match once I get all that done anyway but my off-road gears will kill me. I'm gonna put a 100-shot on it just for kicks when i'm finished will all this stuff. I know it's kinda pointless to do all of this bc my tires will defeat most of it but hey I love power.
