I think a diablo chip is probably the only thing I've done that has been TOTALLY worth the money. Made a huge difference in power...I love it..

A Diablo chip will help. The F250 is too large for a 5.4 and the Diablo can be programmed with a very good tune for it. Shifting should improvement tremendously also. Just don't expect a miracle with power because its a very heavy truck.
