Looks like this is a new book about the 4.6/5.4 performance. This book looks pretty good. Anybody have this yet? May stomp some BS info we all see on the web from companies claiming more hp than you get from their products.

The 4.6 and 5.4-liter modular Ford engines are finally catching up with the legendary 5.0L in terms of aftermarket support and performance parts availability. Having a lot of parts to choose from is great for the enthusiast, but it can also make it harder to figure out what parts and modifications will work best. Building 4.6/5.4L Ford Horsepower on the Dyno takes the guesswork out of modification and parts selection by showing you the types of horsepower and torque gains expected by each modification.

Author Richard Holdener uses over 340 photos and 185 back-to-back dyno graphs to show you which parts deliver on their promises. Unlike sources that only give you peak numbers and gains, Building 4.6/5.4L Horsepower on the Dyno includes complete before-and-after dyno graphs, so you can see where in the RPM range these parts make (or lose) the most horsepower and torque. Holdener covers upgrades for 2, 3, and 4-valve modular engines, with chapters on throttle bodies and inlet elbows, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, camshafts, nitrous oxide, supercharging, turbocharging, headers, exhaust systems, and complete engine buildups.

How is that SHM book? I was thinking of getting that one also, just for the hell of it. I'm currently happy with the performance of my car though. It's put away for the winter but I've been looking at a PI TQ converter so I took my car out last Saturday to test the stall a little bit. It's been 3 months since I drove the damn thing. Kinda funny though, I could not get any traction in the cold weather. 3/4 throttle and nothing but laying down a major burnout. I get pretty good traction when it's warm out though. I forgot how fast it is now. Definetly enough power for the street and strip for me at the time being.

i havent goten the SHM book, i have not heard any thing good about them. i dont know thats what a few people told me. i have no experiance with them.

this is off topic but,
How much hp can i expect out of my 5.4? i was told that hp is about the same as a 4.6 but like 60 more Tq. i have most bolt ons(no cams or LTs). no tune i think i can get about 265RWHP and 350WRTQ dose that sound right?

I talked to a guy from SHM one time. I think they are a top engine builder and quite reliable. Where did you get the 5.4? Did you get the whole motor or just the short block. I have no idea about the 5.4 HP or TQ though.

I have the shm book. Its not that cool. I would like some with better pics and a dyno for some parts would kick ***.
