Is the 5.4 a crate motor or...?
What is its stock numbers, and what is it putting out currently? Also how difficult was the switch to the bigger motor, along with the price if you don't mind?
Also just curious, since you've got a V8 in it are you debating switching your exhuast out for something a little more louder/throatier?

"As for the numbers, Mike left a lot of timing out of the car, but its making (DJ numbers):
461 rwhp / 565 rwtq
The tune, is super super safe. I wanted Mike to add timing, but now thinking we best not till we shake it down a few times at the track. Besides, I'm tired of breaking the damn thing, something safe works for me...till I forge the bottom end. And also, I don't have a dyno sheet. I haven't had a dyno sheet printed out since I was 11 psi I think. I just have him tune it, and then take it to the track and look at the ET and MPH."

It's a take out motor from a F150 I believe. I'll be forging the internals this winter, which is why its at 8.5lbs of boost. It was cheaper than getting $3k custom forged 4.0 rods, as the motor came in at $2.5k by itself. I got new SLP Powerflows on it, love them. Here is some info on the power/tune from the other build thread:

I'm not going to lie, I've been following your mods pretty closely, considering I'm a sixer as well. This engine swap looks promising,and I'm really actually debating it. Your drivetrain is all reworked anyways correct, so dropping the engine in didn't cause any significant issues to flare up? How much was it installed? Also are the powerflos on in the video you posted in the other thread.
If you could maybe PM or post any information, I would greatly appreciate it.
