Need help with Horse Power in my 2010 FX4

So I just bought a used FX4 with the 5.4l in it. I was just wondering what i needed to do to it to put it right around 350-360hp. Looking forward to seeing what y'all have to say.

Wow, no one has bashed the 5.4L yet. Custom tunes should get you there, otherwise if you got the money, a turbo.

Trade it in on a 2011+ with a 5.0, 6.2, or EB.

I was going to say trade it in, but glc beat me to it!

I kid, I kid.... good engine had two of them, but they were dogs without a little help from intake, exhaust, and a custom tuner.

Ummmm, no. I'm sure the OP wants his truck to be dependable.

If it fits your budget, definitely a good option.
