Hey guy just got a 5.4 2003 and I raised it over the weekend 3 inches but it just doesn't have the power I'm looking for yet what are some cheap ways to get the most power from these

Its not cheap, but look into a tuner like and Edge or SCT. I have an SCT XCal2 with custom VMP tunes, and its amazing over stock

I just want something that will get the truck to be able to do burn outs not sure of its the way mine is geared or what because my buddy's will but mine won't

probably gearing and/or tire size. But why, burnouts are useless and tires cost. But yeah a tuner plugs up into the OBD-II plugin and reflashes the computer with custom tunes. also freeing up power like using efans and underdrive pulleys help.
