I think I felt the airaid MIT give my truck the most punch for the money, I really didnt notice any gains from the butt dyno with my headers and exhuast. Just my opinion.
You would have to be going about 130mph to keep the tranny in 5th gear @ WOT. Not good to use OD at all with that kind of power.

I saw a dyno chart from a stock 09 F150 with it's miracle 6 speed auto. 5.4L rated 310hp/390lbft.
At the wheels 230hp/255lb/ft. That's a big loss as well!!!
The 2009 GT500KR makes 540hp @ the flywheel and 510hp to the rear tires. Manual transmissions rock!!
