04-08 4.6 bolt ons

few questions about people and what they have done to their 4.6's
-has any one installed a bbk throttle body for the 04-08 4.6l f150? it says gains from anywhere from 7-12hp.
-MAF sensor. granatelli makes one. says minimum of 10hp.

has the new one performed well? were the gains worth the money? are you a 4.6 or 5.4? you have fx4 stickers.
around december i should have about a 1,000 bucks for the truck. i was thinking these parts.

-Troyer E-fans $425
-Underdrive Pulleys $200
-Throttle Body $299

Total: $925

i figured between those i would gain about 30-35 hp.

your not picking up no 50 hp from that stuff bud.

20hp from edge. 10-15 from intake. so 35 max. and i would trade and get a gryphon. edge can cause your truck to run lean. my truck broke down from the edge twice and almost caused me to get t-boned.

i already have these parts.
custom tuned xcal 2 from vmp
k&n 63 series intake
slowmaster super 44

who ever told you that lied. you would need a few more add ons to get that kind of hp gains. im already about 35 hp behind from a stock 5.4 im just trying to get some hp out of my truck now to get it moving a little faster. i figured if i can get 30-40 more hp out of it i would be doing pretty good.

save the money and dont get the throttle body. you will see alot more gains if you do something like long tubes or getting rid of that flowmaster. i ported my throttle body and saw very little gains.

i would get long tubes, but they dont make them...

and i got the flowmaster for the sound so changing that is not an option.
