Welcome to FTE scrooge. I can highly recommend the Superchips MicroMax Tuner ( http://www.motorhaven.com/customer/home.php?cat=273 ). I have one, as do many on this board, and we all love them. They not only give the gas pedal a snappy response (might be lacking on yours, as it was on many of ours), but it will also give you more horsepower and torque. They have two settings, 87 and 91+ octane. The 87 primarily changes the shift patterns, and gives you a slight power increase. The 91+ setting is where its at! It turned my 04 FX4 into a totally different truck. You should search this forum a bit, and see what you can uncover for past threads about this topic. I know that I did a two part review of the unit (believe the threads were entitled 'Superchips Micromax Tuner Review Pt.1 and 2".
