What else can I do to increase performance?

Hello All,

I have a 2001 F150 5.4L. I have already put a High Performance Air Max intake on as well as a throttle body spacer. I have dual exhaust (1 in 2 pipes out) 40 series Flowmaster. I also have a Hypertech Prog. What else can I do to deck my rig out? Headers... Please help.

Thanks
Ash

Camshaft & haeders, rear end gear swap, NOS, or all the above.

Cams are pretty expensive as that engine takes two of them. They do make supercharger kits if money is no object.

I have done quite a bit of modification, but the single biggest gain was headers.
