5.4 V8 – 260 hp @ 4500 – 350 ft-lb @ 2500 (non-supercharged)
So far we see the standard non-supercharged 5.4 “spools” up quicker then the 4.6, especial for torque which gets you off the line and out of the hole.
Now, let’s see who has the weight advantage. We will use the weight of the Lightning to see what might happen if the supercharger was taken off.
Lightning weight = 4670 lbs, if you took the supercharger off it probably weighs at least 70 lbs, but for the hell of it let’s leave the weight at 4670 lbs.
4.6 – 4475 lbs – 20.3 lbs per hp, 16.9 lbs per ft-lb
5.4 – 4670 lbs – 17.9 lbs per hp, 13.3 lbs per ft-lb
Not only does the 5.4 (non-supercharged) spool faster it also has more horse power per pound and more torque per pound of curb weight.
Well now, ain’t that something…

There is no replacement for displacement!

It has the supercharger but along with that is the intercooler, intercooler coolant tank, and air cooler up front like the transmission cooler up front. I believe it has a bigger capacity radiator (could be wrong on that one, but pretty sure)
It also has the 18”x 9 1/2” wheels which are wider then the stock F150 wheels, more weight there, as well as the tires. Sway bars up front and in the rear. Most likely a few other things I can recall at the moment…

but just so u know the engine with the shortest stroke in all cases will spool up faster then one with a half inch longer stroke.

Who would have thought, 236 lb difference between a similar base model with no options and a loaded Lariat.
Since they have the same engines and drive trains, a cheaper bottum of the line base model is going to be slightly quicker right out of the box on average too!
Now I'm wishing that I wouldn't have paid the extra cash for the XLT!

Well i'll be a son-of-a-*itch! I guess I was wrong. I honestly would have never thought my 4WD was lighter than a Lightning!
See Faster150, it's ok to admit when your wrong (just like I did here). It's hard to dispute the facts when you see them (just like how a 5.4 will whoop a 4.6 in the same exact STOCK vehicle), isn't that correct Faster150?

never have found that to be true in any of my races. only 5.4 i lost to was a bolt on lightning running 12's but i did get em off the line lol but after the 60 ft mark it was rapage:-p

Numbers from a few sites:
Site below shows a 4.6 with 220 – 231hp, 290 – 293 ft-lbs
http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...arreviewspecs/
Didn’t get them from my head just a little research. However it appears the site I got my numbers from were listed for a 2001 while the site you provided below shows the exact same numbers I used but list them for a 2000. Could be one of the websites is wrong.
This site, the one you posted is wrong:
http://www.fordf150.net/specs/engines.php
It shows a 4.6 and a 5.4 with the same exact hp and torque ratings at the same rpm’s. Not possible, so you can go with the following:
4.6 – 231 hp @ 4750, 293 ft-lbs @ 3500
5.4 – 260 hp @ 4500, 360 ft-lbs @ 2500
5.4 – 380 hp @ 4750, 450 ft-lbs @ 3250 (supercharged) specs from: http://www.svt.ford.com/flash/index.html
Therefore it once again proves the 5.4 (longer stroke) “spools” up faster then the 4.6 (shorter stroke).
Look where the peak numbers are at in correlation to the rpms. That is the “spool” up you refer to.
So again the math:
4.6 – 4475 lbs – 19.4 lbs per hp, 15.3 lbs per ft-lb
5.4 – 4700 lbs – 18.1 lbs per hp, 13.0 lbs per ft-lb
5.4 – 4700 lbs – 12.4 lbs per hp, 10.4 lbs per ft-lb (supercharged)
So as you can see even the normal 5.4 F150 “spools” faster and would win nicely…

Faster,
I test drove 2-5 trucks a week for 2 months before I bought mine. I can say that all the 4.6L's that I drove felt more like the 4.3 vortec V6 in the lighter chevies. They did run fair, but non of them were quit enough motor for a body that weighs over 2 tons. Now you can supe them up and make them run better than stock, but it takes quit abit just to make it compete with a stock 5.4L. When the 5.4 starts out running better. You add the same parts to it and you get even more power still for the same $$$'s.
I have drove my brothers and several of my bosses 4.6's since I've had mine. The difference is night and day. Non of them have ever raced me because everytime they drive mine for what ever reason they climb out of my truck grinning saying, "OH MY GOD!".
An old man in a caddy on the interstate at an 80 mph start, is the only one to litterally own me.
On another note,
I'm not sure my 5.4 complies with the stats, I am going to get it dynoed after christmas so I can start adding performance. I can let you al know what it shows. But everyone says it's suppose to be peaking at 4500 rpm.... Feels like I am losing way before 4500 rpm. @ 5000 I am letting off the throttle to make it shift. I'm hoping Troyer can fix that as well as stiffen up the shifts. But only after I get it dynoed for a base line.
