When you say "sport edition" do you mean FX2?
Do you still have your time slip? If so post up all your numbers...
What track was this raced at?
What time of year? Exact Date and Time perhaps?

If I wanted to get a FX2 into the 14's I would do the following....

Tuner(sct), dual exhaust, "Gotts mod", 4.11 gears, 28" Slicks, and a stall.

Remove your front swaybar and air up your front tires to 50+psi. Remove any unnecessary weight.

Go on a nice cool night(60's or below), a light burnout, flash the stall when green and let it rip.

Take off that throttle body space...

This will get you your goal easily. Cams with a tune provides nice gains in the 5.4L. This guy runs a 5.3 0-60 without forced induction (gears, cams, full exhaust, tune etc):

He does have a fairly aggressive tune as the 2-3 shift isn't until almost 6k RPM.

Gears will get you the best gain, if you are staying withb those stock tires and really wants 14's and don't do much highway driving go with 4.56 gears. If you plan on getting smaller tires or do a lot of highway stick with 4.10 gears. Then you could add electric fans and underdrive pullies for maybe another tenth. Also could swap the airaide for a jlt or volant but would require custom tunes, so upgrading the edge is a must(even with the airaide you should do this), then longtubess to high flow cats and a single 3" exhaust to compensate for the larger intake. I have the 80mm bbk throttle body, the intake manifold is only 75mm so if you do fork over the money for it, at least gasket match the manifold, or port the top of the manifold 80mm all the way down. Also for suspension lower the back to get better weight distribution, better tires would be nice. Remove extra weight, but not off the back of the truck. Also some lighter wheels would help

I have basically all of that except run 3.73 gears, jlt, and sct custom tunes, e fans, pullies, throttle bnody longtubes, hiflow cats, and run mid 15's with heavy and tall 22's. And have 162,000 miles on the truck and it is not as fast as it was

Go higher on the gears. 4.30-4.56 if you want it to be worth it.

Most local performance shops have the equipment for dyno tuning. Just shop around.

with all the money you spent on the gears,headers,tune,throttle body, efans, etc, you could have bought a whipple and went faster.

26" drag slicks for dedicated track use. This would have the same effect as upping the rear gear by 25% (like changing your 3.55 rear diff to a 4.44). Easier, too, and all you need to go back to street trim after the race is a jack and a lug wrench.

Mine are 4" round body Magnaflows (aka Magnapacks) p/n 10415, but I would recommend the 10416 just because the inlets/outlets are 2.5" instead of 2.25"

Buy a cheap crotch rocket. Should be able to get into the 10's with that.
