HO engine?

Im looking for a 02 or newer 4 door ford with the 5.4 v8, and I saw a guy on e b ay describe his engine as the HO version.
Thanks!

5.4 gas improve over the years, 99 rated at 230 HP, 2000 rates at 265 HP, 2005 rated at 300 HP, with 3 valve head, definately the one to put the Supercharger on from Roush or Ford SVO parts.
Want a Turbo, just get a 6.0 Diesel, rated at 320 HP and 570 ft lb torque.

Why not get a diesel? Because i dont got 40 thousand dollars!!!
i can buy a f350 or f250 4 door every option truck with the 5.4 for less then 20k!
Besides if i wanted a diesel i would get a real diesel, a Cummins!
not a toy power puke......
theres a place in montana that will convert my 2004 f350 4 door 5.4 to a 2005 Cummins for 8 grand. in my mind that adds up to about 28,000, and a WAY better truck then a 35,000 dollar stroke!
hmmm now what can i do with $7,000 to a Cummins ISB?

Maybe your missing the part where i said 02 to about 04, not brand new....

Essentially what I am suggesting, without making disparaging remarks is that you might want to look at othe options. A turbo conversion done right, how much? A cummins conv 8000, a Powerstroke ? The real reason I would consider a stroker is you want a newer 5R100 auto or our ZF 6 speed manual. Realistically, I think to do the turbo properly, with intercooler, computer controls ect ect, I think your close to the same cost. Perhaps a blower, 3 - 4 K would be a bit more economical, get most power for the buck, rousch and ford SVo bolt on.

yeah, actually i was looking at a lightning supercharger, it would be a cheaper way to do the same thing...
I want to stick with a gas engine, and i dont think a turbo kit would even come close to the cost of a powerstroke. espesially when it comes to taxes and insurance.....
ebay has some great prices now adays for the do-it-yourselfer!
