What to do. What should I do?

Ok I've decided that I need more power(I got beat by my friends Olds intrigue, oh the shame!!!! ). I've wanted to do the whole engine, but my friends have convinced me otherwise they've said just get blown ! Here's my dilema though. We don't know what the hell I should get! I know I could get this done cheaper if I pieced it together ,but I have no clue what all I need. Or would I be better off just buying a supercharger kit from somewhere. If so what are your guys suggestions. Thanks in advance. Money is not really an object, but don't want to spend my whole savings account at the same time.

Oh yeah. 2003 5.4L 4x4 extended cab

I went onto the web site and looked at it, but I didn't see any intercooler system for the model I need. I noticed it on the mustang, but not the one I need. Or did I just miss it.

You will make way more power with the L conversion then a K/B kit and spend about the same money!

You would need this.

Search "l swap" and "lightning swap", so much info on this site it's ridiculous.
