A 5.4 that was rated 260 hp with the addition of a cold air intake, e-fan kit, custom tune (flip chip), and cat-backs could have 330 hp at the rear wheels. My 99 F-150 was a test vehicle for one of the local speed shops stage 1 performance kits set up this way.I'd like to see some proof considering a stock lightning only makes 350-360.
To get more out of them required cams, headwork, headers, and/or forced induction. A buddy of mine had a 99 XLT 5.4 that had the aftermarket Lightening kit that pumped 570 hp to the rear tires.
To get big HP all you need is $$$.
