The chip will tend to give the biggest bang for the buck, followed by the exhaust and intake. They'll make a difference, but it won't be felt as much on such a heavy truck. The reality is the Super Duty needs the V10 as the 5.4 is not enough for the weight.

With the older EEC-IV computers you clean the grease off the connector.
The EEC-V computers, such as the one in your 2004, have a clear rubberized "conformal" coating that needs to be scrapped off or taken off with acetone or fingernail polish remover. Once you do that, the module plugs right in. Very easy.

NOW ALL THE OTHER ADD ONS I SPOKE ABOUT, WELL WHEN I NAIL THE THROTTLE, MY TRUCK FLAT MOVES OUT AND AS THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND, IT BARKS THE TIRES, I RAN IT UP TO 120 MPH BEFORE IT SHIFTED FROM THIRD TO OVER DRIVE, THAT'S WHEN I QUIT. I DON'T DRIVE FAST, BUT THIS WAS ONE TIME I HAD TO CHECK OUT THE F150. I HAVE A 3.55 GEAR, 17" TIRES, DUAL FLOWMASTER EXUAST, AND A CROSSOVER PIPE OR LETS SAY A "H" PIPE.
THIS IS ONE GOOD RUNNING F150, IN COMPARISON TO THE TRUCK BEFORE I DID THE MODS.
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
