This is a loaded question-"make me go fast" go buy a Shelby Mustang....
With speed comes the whole package, handling, brakes and the like. To make your truck go fast you will also have to address these issues. It takes a pile of mods to get a 6800lb mass of plastic, steel and glass up to any type of velocity...

To get mid 14's in a new screw f150 you will need about 450hp at the crank and some lower gears in the rearend, probably 4.10's. If you just want to got fast on a drag strip then your stock brakes will do just fine, they're good brakes. I wouldn't use underdrive pullies with the zx2500.1, It loves it's power and will drain you battery empty. Especially when its powering a Kicker solo X 12". I don't see how your lights don't already dim, must have a good capacitor. My amps are running strait off the battery with no capacitor, and my lights dim when the truck is at idle.
The cheapest way to get that power is to use nitrous. Its not bad for the engine as long as you don't use to much. You would also need to have it programmed for high octane fuel and run high octane so your motor doesn't detonate. Don't worry your head gaskets will blow first, thats what they're there for
.
The easiest and safest, but not cheapest, way to get that power is to get a supercharger kit. Most kits for the 5.4 3v's are rated for 450hp.
You can also do several smaller mods: head port and polish, cams, exhaust, intake, programmer, 75hp nitrous, gears, headers, and ect...
