After much ado in regard to whether or not I wanted to keep my 2003 Ford H-D F-150 Supercharged Supercrew I have decided I have a better truck than anything currently being sold. Also, FoMoCo in spite of being on the verge of bankruptcy would rather reward someone who's never owned a Ford than a lifetime Ford guy like me. No cash back, no low interest rate deals nyet, nada, nothing on a 2007 Ford F-150 H-D model. $45,000 with all the bells and whistles and it's a motor only 5.4 no supercharger. Soooooooo  I'm keeping the one I've got which I've started calling Chip after our good buddy and site bro Silver/Black. 

 What I'm looking for is advice on the most bang for my buck in getting some more omph out of this truck. According to everything I've read about it. It is 450 ftlbs of tq and 340 hp as is. I don't know if that's engine dyno numbers or rear wheel numbers. I do know it's no match for the Ford Lightning or even close to the Dodge like 103tHunDer's got. So, what can I do for under $2k to get me a little more ?

Thanks

You thought your harley cost you money. I  too had an 03 f150 hd edition...Man was that a nice truck. I got most of my parts from http://www.johnnylightningperf.com/shop/index.php?cPath=2_17 this guy.....

I wish it was a Harley, but Dodge dropped that connection a long time ago, but it does go like stink.

Me and 103

Big B, the supercharged F-150's are no slouches either, buddy!  And, from what I've read about them, they respond well to simple bolt-on mods, kinda like a Harley motorcycle.  Also similar to a Harley, for $2K, you're probably looking at the simple stuff first like intake and exhaust mods, along with an ECM programmer, or re-map of somekind.

That is the same powertrain as a Lightning, isn't it?  You may want to check out one of the Lightening sites, in addition to the ones already mentioned above.  Good luck!

Well, for under 2K you can do the basics, exhaust, A/C, and reprogram ECU. But if you had more $$$$$ Roush makes a nice supercharger and other goodies for the F150.

That name is fine, as long as you realize it can't remain stock and carry that name.
Change the pulley, the exhaust and an aftermarket ECM and you will bump up a hundred or more.
Do that and this Chip will be fine with that Chip.

As you know, "A man can never have too much horsepower".

OK Chip for now I'll refer to it as Chip Jr.

And yes Brian it's the same powertrain as the Lightning.

 From what I understand the only difference on the Lightning is the blower pulley being smaller which gains it another 40hp to 380 vice the 340 I've got.

I'm thinking of doing the blower pulley change, Magnaflow exhaust. K&N cold air kit and re-program of the ECM and see how that feels.

Damn, I just put a set of new Goodyear Eagles on it.

B B, the three things you mention made significant improvement in my SRT, but the addition of cams and headers made the real difference.
