A lot of Lightning owners swap Navigator heads onto their trucks, which are 4V heads. It's pretty popular, and I would say worth-while, but then again I am biased towards 32 valves. :)

@jscottgt Was that the stock/truck cams?

260 on a dynojet, 306 HCI combo...nice starting point for this new edge.

My 94Mustang put down

the 5.4sohc swap in any car, doesn't get you any more than the stock 265hp. it does get you more torque, and better potential down the road... that baby needs a tfs heads/cams package, stat!

@EviLotus01 You swap the motor for the capability, not for the initial horsepower/:

@anothertry It depends where he started at. Most 99-04 mustang gts dont even make stock numbers. Also thats a 5.4 so more displacement than the 4.6

@EviLotus01 Actually about 40 HP and 70-80 lbs ft. Not a bad gain with a stock intake and adapters. With an intake, TFS heads and big cams the 5.4 is good for around 400/400 N/A (assuming the bottom end can handle the RPMs). I am looking into this myself and the advice I am getting is MHS Stage 3+ or Comp XE278s to match the long stroke. Makes sense. IIRC the long-stroke, low-flowing Pontiacs of the 60s and 70s ran much bigger cams than equivalent-sized Chevy's with greater streetability.

@therisingsun777 wow thats low, are you using a mustang dyno? im pretty sure they usually dyno around 220 on dynojets. Hell my stock v6 made like 155 to the wheels on a dynojet
This was the initial run with no real tuning and still using the stock PI intake on adapter plates & maxed out 19#/hr injectors. Now that I upgraded to the HPS manifold and 24# injectors it is making 292/340 @ the wheels. This was all good for a 13.4@104 run on street tires (and IRS) recently.
