2006 f-150 ... 4.6 TOO SLOW.. help

I have had my truck for a while now and am very un happy about the performance... with having the 4.6 L engine it is very slow and accelerates very slow... i was wondering how to make it faster without voiding the warranty... any help will be awesome

thanks in advance

A programmer and lower gears are the best way.

Not gonna happen. If you want the warranty intact,then deal with the speed and power. if not,then there are several things that can be done. You can change rear gears to make it accelerate quicker without voiding the warranty,but the speedo wil be off and the speed limiter will be lower. To fix this,you'll have to reflash the PCM with the programmer of your choice,and that'll void your warranty.
