Quick power increases...

F150 5.4L, I just did the exhaust, looking for a little more kick without upgrading my fuel octane. Intake, header... what do you recommend?

Fuel octane and chip. It is the most productive upgrade per dollar spent. You mention headers. A quality set of headers will be more than a chip!

The money is not the issue... the support of our government taxing our dollars at 30% is. They should give us the high octane for free...

Get a tuner of your choice. Most will allow you to set the octane you want to run. I went with the EDGE Evolution tuner. Tuner is the best bang for the buck mod you can do.

Airraid intake tube, Wix disposable air filter, Magnaflow muffler. Simple, relatively inexpensive, gain hp/mpg/nice tones. Add a chip tuner later for extra punch.
