more 4.6 power needed

I have 5 speed 4x4 4.6L and i was told that it would be tooo expensive to upgrade to a 5.4L. and that it might not bolt up to my manual transmission. is there any good crate engines for the 4.6 liter option or any suggestions. i already have the spacer cold air intake and exhaust. im looking for around 300+ ponys please help.

Have you thought about adding a performace programmer? You won't see massive gains, but they def. boost your hp (especially if you've already made some mods like exhaust and intake). You can find a bunch of great tuners on our site here: http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/performance-chips/20A50211A1.aspx

You can look into an aftermatker throttle body, headers, cats, definetly a programmer or a chip, e-fans would give you a nice boost in HP, aftermarket spark plug boots, wiring, both deliver a hotter spark, better detonation, more power. turbo? lol

Good timing with your question. I'm working with our marketing department right now, we're trying to put something together... and for the FTE forum only

I'll reply back to the tread as soon as I find out more

I am also in the market for a Performance Tuner but I am trying to find one that is worth the $$ but also allows me to adjust my tire size since I have oversized tires. Do you guys know of any respectable Tuners that will allow me to do this? Thanks.

I know for a fact that Hypertech tuners allow for a tire change in the programming, but I'm sure that there more tuners that do that. Do your research, check out Diablo and Superchips and read the list of their functions.
