5.4l performance

I hate to start this thread off like this but, I have looked everywhere. Does anyone have any info, build post, websites or anything related to building a triton 5.4 3v for performance? More importantly torque? And also without just slapping on a Whipple or tuners, etc.? Just a full on engine build as if it were a single cam pushrod engine?

Long tube headers and different cams would be a start.

GDog,
Check this place out! I plan to build a 5.4 for towing in the 500hp range on pump gas. Looks like we can do it. I have the 2 valve motor.

I'd search on a forum dedicated specifically to the vehicle you'd be building the motor for; Mustang, T-Bird, Cougar etc etc: TCCoA | TCCoA

Much to choose from, just how do you want to do it. Go to the site and fill in the blanks. I have ideas but clearly stated perhaps not in this thread.
