I think ford did the right thing by making a larger V8 and just running the V10 in the 450/550 chassis cab. In my opinion the 5.4 is not nearly enough to move a heavy super duty around. Before I ordered my 05 350 I tried out the 5.4 and it had no power (compared to the Hemi or 6.0 Chevy). My 05 V10 with the 4:10ls was a decent pulling truck. It seemed the more mileage I put on the truck the more power it had. The question is do you need 10 cylinders to make that much power? While no numbers have come out everyone says around 400hp and 400lb ft for the 6.2 V8. Id like to see the torque somewhere closer to 425 with a wide torque range. It seems like the 5.4 needs to rev to 4000rpm to do anything.
