I'd do some quick checks / maintenance at least...air filter, clean the MAF and throttle body. Seriously doubt plugs are the issue with 60k for a 5.0.

LilJbakes, did you ever find a solution to your issue? My truck seems to have the same problem and your post seemed to describe the symptoms best. Thanks in advance.

Nope. Never figured it out. Kind of just got used to it and realized it's not a Shelby Mustang but rather a truck.

Get a Tuner , just not a superchips (only has canned tunes)....get an SCT with either 5 star or MPT tunes(custom tunes) and your problems will be solved ... Or get a Sprint booster .. it only changes the fly by wire throttle lag which is what your experiencing ... Mine was horrible when I got the truck , its better with a superchips tune but still not what Id like to see ... but way better than stock ....
