5.4 LT Dyno Charts?

Hi, I have an 06 f150 that I am interested in putting LT's on, but would like to see a dyno chart first. I would like to see some decent gains before 3000 rpms as I do most of my driving below that. I am concerned that LT's will just give gains up higher and push my torque curve up higher. Any help is appreciated. thanks

the long tubes and a dual 2.5 inch exhaust will increase your power everywhere not just peak like shorties do


I know there's a few 2 valve dyno sheets floating around, but I have not seen a 3 valve dyno sheet posted

You won't see many dyno's below 3000rpms. Just take our word for it and you will notice a large increase in power.

holy crap another person from Regina. I got OBX long tubes on my 2000 5.4. If you are interested in taking a look a them I have had them on my truck for nearly 2 years and have held up great. I also helped put them on my buddies old 05 5.4 3v and they made a real nice difference in the low end. Niether of us had dyno sheets. If you would like to take a look let me know.

Hey thanks for the replies. My current setup is intake mod with a drop in k&n, cat back duals, and edge evo. I want to get a gryphon and custom tunes, so I am trying to do all my mods first. So my next queston is....is my best money spent on lts and high flows, or is my stock intake going to be a limiting factor? Thanks

i might be able to find my dyno sheet from when i installed the lt's but like fatherford said, it starts at 2500-2700 rpm and up. trust me its got torque. i could easily spin the 35's with the stock 3.55 gears anytime.

and yeah i would def put a cai or at least gott's intake with the lt's. cai and tune with the lt/high flows is the best bet like avfrog mentioned.

Hi,

So is it a good idea if I do Pacesetter LT's to go with their 3" off road y-pipe with a couple 3" magnaflow high flows?? The reason I ask is a muffler shop in town quoted me $200 just to weld in the high flows, I hate to ask what they would charge to hook up the 3" collector to my 2 1/2" exhaust, and I would weld in the 3" stuff myslef if I went that way. thanks.

go talk to Kelly at minute muffler on vic east. Another good place that some people don't like is Regina Muffler and Brake on Dewdney just off Albert st.
