4.6 Horspeower?? Before and after chipped???

Does anyone know the stock horsepower for the 04 f150 supercab? I purchased one due to somewhat better gas milage (I really don't know if i just took it up the backend with decreased power)... but anyways, I want to know if I chipped it, would it be able to play with the stock 5.4?

How much of an increase in horsepower and torque will i see with a chip?

Would getting it supercharged be a waste of money? I have a freind in the business that can get me a kit for roughly 1500 new.... I just dont know if it'd be a great waste on a 4.6.

Please Help!!!!

After seeing that video of the dodge bein smoked, I want to do some playing of my own!!

pics of my truck:
22's, limo tint, no pics of the shackle job yet....

Horsepower numbers from tuning are basically useless (unless we're talking diesels). If you do get 16 extra horsepower, will you really feel it? probably not much, if at all. Now what the tuning does to your transmission characteristics and shift points will have much more of an effect on the truck than the '16' horsepower will. Best bang for the buck hands down. Call up troyer and buy a tuner now.
