Need ideas for more power
Anyone know how I can get more power out of my 2005 Ford F-250 5.4l v8. I would buy big block or small block but know nothing about the fit up

I put a tuner in my 2006 F350 5.4l - big improvement (in my opinion). Made it much “peppier”

There's a lot of small mods you can do, but if you're looking for real power, like towing power, you're better off getting another truck with any other motor.

A good tuner and gears. For the price, you may be better off looking for a 6.2 truck.

Trade it for a 2015+ SD with the 6.7L PSD! You will be impressed!

real usable power.. not in a 5.4L without major new parts..

the 5.4L is a good engine.. but .... not for bigger horsepower

if for towing and you have 3.73 gears change to 4.30 gears
