Horsepower Gain?

[JDNIGHTHAWK]

Okay guys, I need to rack your brains. I would like to add more horse power and torque to my 02 triton 5.4 to bring it up to speed with the current 5.4 rating. I would like to do this with minimal expense if at all possible. I already have a K&N Generation II FIPK, and dual exhaust setup. Both of which didn't really gain me a whole lot. I have thought of a programmer. If you guys could tell me your suggestions I would appreciate it.

You're in the supercharger forum.
The best power adder out ther is an intercooled supercharger or turbocharger upgrade. You won't ever come close with all the available non-blown upgrades to a positive displacement solution.

For a mild Lightning intercooled/supercharger transplant upgrade, plan on about $3k. This will take you from the stock 225rwhp (est) to around 350rwhp while still using the stock block.

You can go a multitude of different ways. Roots, screw, centrifugal.....

Centrifugal is probably going to be the least expensive easiest to do. It doesn't involve the removal of the intake for installation.

But thats only if you're into spending at least $2k. I thought I could do it cheaper, but in the end with a used blower and a few additions to complement it, I ended up right at the $2k mark.

But thats the most efficiant method bar none. YOu can't beat it with a programmer and every other bolt on out there.
