Would this work on our 5.4?

I looked at past threads and didn't find any info about this kit.
Seems to me that just swap a regular 5.4 truck intake on it would work. What do you guys think?
I was thinking about the up grade turbo of t76, with my 60 lb injectors ,twin fuel pumps, and mafia maf. Will it work and make more power over a twinscrew?

97-2003 4.6 or 5.4 Liter F-150/F-250LD Turbo Kit - Includes a Garrett T-67S Turbo, the kits will include all required "Hot Parts" coated in Polished Silver or Satin Black 2000* Ceramic Coating, Silver Powder Coated inlet tubes, 3 core Bar & Plate Air/Air Intercooler, 30 lbs Fuel Injectors and Mass Air Meter, High Pressure/High Volume Fuel Pump, High Grade Silicone Hose, Aircraft Grade Hose Clamps, Turbo Thermal Blanket, 38mm Tial Billet wastegate, 12 psi Mitsubishi By-Pass Valve, Billet BEGI Fully Adjustable FMU,Oil Filter relocation Kit, High Voulme/High Pressure Fuel Pump. Steel Braided Oil Feed and Drain Line w/ Fittings and instruction manual to install the kit in 8-12 hours. This kit with the T-76 GTS Turbo will support up to 1100 hp! As with any of our kits, you can upgrade to any of the related options or deduct any part you may already have.

yes, just make sure to get an air-air intercooler to replace the stock water-air.

which kit is that? and yes it will make more power.

If you wanna make some real power I would suggest extrude honing the intake. The runners are long and were designed/tuned for a N.A. 250ish hp pickup motor. (low & mid range torque)

It's not that big of a deal.. but you could see some marked improvements.

I also see a throttle body issue with the intake as well. I may just fab up a sheet metal intake instead.

yeah, i just looked at some pics, i guess the n/a 2v 5.4 uses a smaller t/b.

if you can fab up an intake manifold, then why not? you could just blow through an empty eaton case until then, like sal's setup.

remember the non-supercharged 5.4L has higher compression pistons than the lightning engine

Well I have a built motor with 8.2:1 compression I thought just like superchargers lower the compression and I plan on getting the t76
