More Power!!!! looking for suggestions

I have a 2006 5.4L f150. Wanting to get as much easy bolt on power as I can. I have K&N intake, bakers monster catback exhaust, and hypertech maxenergy tuner........ Thinking of upgrading C.O.P.'s. Any suggestions on best coil and plug combination? More advice on getting a little more GO would be appreciated

Get rid of the hypertech, but an SCT tuner with custom tunes. Install some Long Tube headers. Dont waste your money on COPs.

Intake, Tuner, Exhaust. Then supercharger. Cams if you want to be different.

fwiw, all those upgrades will let you run equal with a new F150+Tuner...

Ditch the Hypertech and get a SCT with custom tunes from one of the reputable F-150 tuners. With that K&N, you MUST get custom tunes for that particular intake or you will be running too lean, the MAF transfer function is different than stock.

There is nothing that will improve performance over the stock Motorcraft plugs and cops.

The single most noticeable improvement would be regearing.

You can't treat the truck like a motorcycle, it's designed totally differently.

Gears if you're 2wd. SCT with custom tunes, then e-fans (which are a PITA an I wouldn't install), pulleys (again PITA I wouldn't bother with), then maybe long tubes. I noticed very little change with long tubes and custom tunes, but I'm a minority with that.

If you're stock height and stock-tired, 4.10 gears for $800 and be done.

COPs aren't gonna do much at all, if anything, if not lose power.

Sounds lime you already wasted a bunch of money.
Like everyone said get rid of the hypercrap and get Sct or diablo that can be custom tuned.
Do long tube headers.
Take off the K&N and replace with dry element filter.
Do either full 2.5" x piped duals or single 3" (not really much gains there)
Regear the front and rear to 4.10s or 4.56s depending on your tire size.
Full supercharger/turbo done the right way
........Buy a mustang......

Motorcraft COPS and plugs are the best for these engines. Stick with those..
