More Power Please...

I have a 1999 F150 5.4L V8 4x4 and I would like to maximize the power the truck has to offer. I'm not sure what to look at as far as performance parts besides an air intake system. Someone told me to look into perfomrance chips as well. I have no idea what to look for as far as brands or different types. Any suggestions as to how to give the truck more would be greatly appreciated.

A programmer such as the Diablosport Predator and lower rearend gears will make the biggest difference.

supercharger would add a few hp as well, your truck is kinda old to put a blower on, but itll certainly increase the power
