Push in the gas pedal really hard. This will make the vehicle faster immediately.

Air filter, performance muffler, performance tuner.

opps I'm driving a new 2005 f150 and i just don't wanna spend way to much money... I already got flowmasters on there that cost me $250 which isn't bad what killed me was the 1,500 dollar system and the 300 dollar grill... I just got the truck 3 weeks ago so I already spend about 4 thousand on it...

pull the Flowmaster and you'll go faster

By the way - Flowmaster is just about the *worst* thing you can do exhaust-wise, as due to the reduction in flow velocity you lose lower rpm torque, and due to their baffles & chambers which restrict airflow at higher rpms & heavy throttle, you don't really gain a lot in the way of peak HP. There is *some* gain, but not as much as you can get with a properly designed exhaust system.

If you disconnect your exhaust you get +100hp and -100tq

the best chip is probably the xcalibrator. Go over to the chips forum and and you'll learn a lot about them. I think it's like $400 or $500.

get the tuner first, that way you can hit speeds over 100

all the added weight of the new system didnt help much with your speed factors. If your system cost 1500, where did the other 2500 go?
