Thread: F150 Performance??

    Has anybody added any performance parts or systems to a new F150 with a 5.4L. You know...... exhaust, intake, chip, or anything else. If so what was the result. I need to get some more power and hopefully >MPG. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've got an 07 F150 Supercrew FX4 and recently installed the Edge programmer. MPG went up about 1.5 to 2 MPG. Also added a Truxedo LoPro bed cover and it helped a little also. I get about 16 or so back and forth to Havi doing 80-85. If I drop it back to 70 to 75 it jumps to about 19-20 but I can do that for very long . Combo driving is about 13-14. I have been thinking of doing a cold air kit and electric fans but havent done it yet. I like a quite vehicle and I think the cold air kits increase the intake air volume to much. If anybody has a cold air kit that isnt loud, and helped, lem me know.

    Put a throttle body spacer, cold air intake, and dual exhaust on my buddy's 05 f150. He says he can feel the difference.
    It has 35" tires, and before he could NOT burn out at all, now he can't help but waist his tires away every chance he gets

    My cousin has a 07 F150 with the 5.4L and I must say I was not impressed with it at ALL. It was a slug towing the boat (yes I was driving it too). It actually didnt do too much better than my '93 Yukon with 157,000 miles on it. And he has a pretty nice cat-back kit on there too. I would think you would notice the most difference with the programmer than anything else.
    which rear end? I've been looking really hard at the 07 F150( as there are deals to be made on them right now...)
    I've gone on test drives and they seem to have plenty of power with the 5.4, but how it will do towing is another story. I've not driven one with a 3.73 in it... only the 4.10s.

    I honestly believe that the 3V (2004+) 5.4 is one of the best engines that Ford has ever built.
    I tow my boat (7000lb) with it, my toyhauler (12000), and all different pieces of const. equipment with it..........and it tows great. The 5.4, combined with the Torqshift is a great combo. It is not the fastest thing off the line, but you dont really need that when towing...........

    Don't know what the F-150 weighs but for comparison ,my 03 Navigator built on the F-150 hydroformed frame . The Navi has the Intech [ DOHC 32 V ] engine , has excellent pickup without TC , does the slalom test at 59.8 mph with its fully independent suspension and it tows my 8380 lbs boat/trailer
    great.I imagine it would be even better with 4.10 gears :idea: .
    I have the cold air intake from the factory , and I just removed the external airbox [ hooter control ] with not much of a differece as throttle noise concerned .
    I've substituted the airbox with some tubing and rubber gators I've found at work
