5.4 LT Dyno Charts?

Hi, I have an 06 f150 that I am interested in putting LT's on, but would like to see a dyno chart first. I would like to see some decent gains before 3000 rpms as I do most of my driving below that. I am concerned that LT's will just give gains up higher and push my torque curve up higher. Any help is appreciated. thanks

the long tubes and a dual 2.5 inch exhaust will increase your power everywhere not just peak like shorties do


I know there's a few 2 valve dyno sheets floating around, but I have not seen a 3 valve dyno sheet posted

You won't see many dyno's below 3000rpms. Just take our word for it and you will notice a large increase in power.

holy crap another person from Regina. I got OBX long tubes on my 2000 5.4. If you are interested in taking a look a them I have had them on my truck for nearly 2 years and have held up great. I also helped put them on my buddies old 05 5.4 3v and they made a real nice difference in the low end. Niether of us had dyno sheets. If you would like to take a look let me know.

Hey thanks for the replies. My current setup is intake mod with a drop in k&n, cat back duals, and edge evo. I want to get a gryphon and custom tunes, so I am trying to do all my mods first. So my next queston is....is my best money spent on lts and high flows, or is my stock intake going to be a limiting factor? Thanks

i might be able to find my dyno sheet from when i installed the lt's but like fatherford said, it starts at 2500-2700 rpm and up. trust me its got torque. i could easily spin the 35's with the stock 3.55 gears anytime.

and yeah i would def put a cai or at least gott's intake with the lt's. cai and tune with the lt/high flows is the best bet like avfrog mentioned.

Hi,

So is it a good idea if I do Pacesetter LT's to go with their 3" off road y-pipe with a couple 3" magnaflow high flows?? The reason I ask is a muffler shop in town quoted me $200 just to weld in the high flows, I hate to ask what they would charge to hook up the 3" collector to my 2 1/2" exhaust, and I would weld in the 3" stuff myslef if I went that way. thanks.
