Motortrend March 2008 Issue.

I have in my hands the 2008 MotorTrend Mag March 2008 Issue., & it states that the 2009 F-150 Article which starts on page 68, the 5.4 3v engine., makes a whopping 310HP & 365 pounds,Ft. of torque! Granted I realize that HP is not entirely responsible for a great truck but come on! My 2007 5.4 3v with my Roush Exhaust according to Roush is good for extra 10HP's for a grand total of 310HP. Torque is the same! I truly was expecting for from FoMoCo with the new Dodge Hemi & Toyota at 380 HP's........

Ahhh I see. I always wonder what the cops are doing when they are parked on the side of the road. I figured they could get on the internet.

There was a big discussion about this a few days ago, everybody pretty much decided MT's numbers are garbage because torque is already 365 on the current 5.4

I read somewhere that the engine will have "torque numbers similar to Dodge and Toyota's larger v8 engines"..So if that is true, torque should be around 400. No clue on horsepower.
