Question need help getting started

I have a 2000 F150 4x4 with a 5.4L that i have had for about 5 years. I is completely stock, except for a K&N air filter and a flowmaster muffler. I just bought a car so I can start workin on the truck. Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should start. I would like to start small and work my way up. Any help is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forum
Lower gears like 4.10's will help a lot. A Programmer such as a Diablosport Predator will help as well. A cold air intake like the Outlaw Power unit is nice too. I have all of these except the gears and mine runs much better. Then you can look into electric fans, and maybe long tube headers.
