Ummm...no.
I've owned two 5.4s (one 2v and one 3v) and added a few performance goodies to the 3v...LTs, dual exhaust, Gryphon with custom 93 perf tunes, etc. Although it ran much better the day I traded it than the day I bought it, it still couldn't hold a light for the 5.0. Not even close. Period.
In the good ol' days, the old saying 'no replacement for displacement' held more water than it does now.
OP, congrats on the step-up!! It looks like the fiasco worked out in your favor after all!

5.0 < 5.4 > 4.6
No replacement for displacement.
I should know better than to start this topic again, but it sure is a fun banter.
In all seriousness, we sure are glad you came back to the oval once the house things got settled. Sure would have been sad if you went the bow tie route, or worse.

Oh and nice truck! I like the fx4 much better than the xlt!

Though, a level and a set of 35's would really look good.
