That will keep you busy for a while....
I think there is more. Look for independent dyno numbers when looking for this kind of stuff. Hard to find, but out there.

i have that same brand for my 00' 5.4 and i can say i really didnt noticed much in hp or mpg. i had it on for a while then took it off and i havent noticed any change. i might give it another try and this time ill pay closer attention to it to see if theres any difference. but yeah i wouldnt buy again so save your money.

i like the whistle, i just put a volant system on mine! I got it for free, I work for a Ford dealer and i fixed a front end accident and the intake box had a scratch on it so the insurance company bought a new one. So i got the scratch out and bam! Free!

i heard tbs's are really b/s... but supposely the real help they add is another mod on your list... and my friend put one on his 08 4.6 f150 and it helped a little on throttle response.. but not enough to be worth $100..

nitrous is the only reason i would buy one these days. but for piece of mind. i had a 92 chevy 350 that was a turd. powerbrakin on a road would just bog down the motor.haha and bought a helix and same road same spot powerbraked it again. this time it actually rotated the tires. not spun just barly rotated them. hahaha so theres your performance gain anyways this bein said IMO i wouldnt buy one unless i found one used. 50 or less
