I’ve got a 2014 5.0 f150. I’m looking to draw as much low end out of the motor as I can and stay N/A. I am planning to swap cams but am unsure who and what specs to use. I don’t really care to build the motor for high top end hp output, although I’m definitely not afraid to gain hp. I would like to be sitting somewhere around 390-430 ft/lbs. without boosting. I was planning on putting the boss bolt on intake on, but from what I understand can weaken low end output, but if the numbers are minimal and I gain top end and am still sitting around what I want in trq I’m fine with a small sacrifice and still gaining some hp. If I swap cams would it be beneficial to change rockers and valve train etc on this motor. As the truck sits it has a CAI and TB spacer (which was a waste of 100.00) and geared 456. I have an 89 perf/toe tune with shift improvement as well.

Long tube headers and new new exhaust are going to be applied as well

I’m no A mechanic when it comes to building motors. Can you explain why that is?

Dang that sucks. Besides boosting all I can increase is my top end? If I changed my route to increase top end performance (nothing extremely high. Maybe 400 rwh at most) what kinda nd of losses would I expect to see in my low end or would the numbers stay relatively close?
