How Many Horse Does A New 5.4l Stock Put Out?

I have a new 06 FX4 with a 5.4L and I will be installing the Edge Evolution Programmer in the morning. Curious as to how many horsepower this motor would be producing before this mod is done. I have upgraded from the factory exhaust and added the K&N 77 series intake. Any ideas as to factory out put?

Wow, those are pretty ridiculously low numbers at the wheels. I'd like to know what the 1997 4.6 has at the wheels if it says it only has 210 HP. Not sure whether that's at the wheels or flywheel. Let me know if any of you guys know.

thats not too bad for a rear wheel drive vehicle if you think about it. ~30% for the 5.4 and ~22% for the 4.6. I have seen it to where older rwd vehicles would lose 35-40% of their horsepower. Most fwd vehicles now a days still lose ~20%. VW has been the only one that I have seen to advertise what their vehicles put out at the wheels(the new rabbit is advertised @150hp and dynos are coming in at 148, 151...)
