Regear is an option, cams are out there, throttle bodies for 04 to 06, super charge it, new plugs always makes a difference, headers, exhaust, hi flow cats.
Most of those are sorta cheap in the sub 400 range..

pacesetter headers are cheap and give the biggest hp jump. you will need a tuner tho and you might as well put highflo cats(or none) and good exhaust on too and a cold air intake

I've been thinking about doing some performance upgrades. Not quite sure what I want to do yet. Not even sure what I want to upgrade yet! But I appreciate the thread. I'll keep looking.

bassmaster, my truck is the same as yours. when i bought it, it had a cai and just a flowmaster muffler. I put a edge evo tuner on it and it great plus it comes with the pod for your dash to mount it in.
later im thinking about doing headers and a flowmaster y-pipe on it. the factory y-pipe chokes it down pretty bad.

if you've got any sort of mechanicin' know-how, you could probably figure out how to adapt a newer 4.6 Mustang supercharger onto the engine. There's no off-the-shelf kit for the 4.6 in the F150 though.
Going with a programmer, heads and cams and headers will probably even out with customizing and fabbing a supercharger kit, but you'll make more power with the s/c.
