Unhappy Need some help...!

I have a 1996 F-250 Crew Cab, with a 3" downpipe and 4" the rest of the way. I also have a K&N Filter installed. The truck is very sluggish, and does not perform as well as I thought it might with the upgrades that I have installed. What is next? What upgrades will help this truck pick up some speed and acceleration?

These trucks are very heavy, and really don't make much power until the boost comes on.

A programmer made a decent difference on mine, but I have learned on here that my superchips programmer is weak compared to a 4 or 6 position chip. However, to get big power, I think you need some stage one injectors.
