modifications to 99 F250!

What are some modifications starting from the cheapest for horsepower on a 1999 F250 with a 5.4L with 3.73 gearing. I was thinking an exhaust with a possible replacement cat, pulleys, chip, and etc.

Two chamber Flowmaster Cat-Back exhaust system & a K&N air filter will make a differance you can feel, and hear!
I am guessing 20HP.

And then like 'Mustang' said in my post, electric fans and MSD ignition will give ya another 20-25HP.

Theres a good 40HP! You'll feel that!

'LIGHTNING' said you can advance the timing and run higher octane fuel. but I cant afford higher octane fuel, so I haven't done that yet.

All of the above was posted for my 5.8L 351, it's a little differant than your 5.4L T, but all will work the same!

Thanks for the info! Do you have any idea where I can find that exhaust system, and about how much are we talking here? Exhaust was definately first on the list. Will changing the ignition mess up the computer?
