But to actually make it fast, you're going to have to build an engine and run boost. And there will most definitely always be something faster. There's plenty of modular 4.6 liter mustangs running over 1000hp. I would think that even with comparatively low torque on the bottom end, that with that much horsepower your truck would still scoot. The issue would be getting a mustang intake to work with the trucks and various other small things.
But think about it guys. The new challenger hellcat weighs 4600 pounds. That's within 100 pounds of the curb weight of my truck. If they can make that thing fast, we can make a 4600 pound truck a little quicker.

It's faster than it used to be since my cats were clogged. It scoots when you rev it out but is a turd off the line. I don't plan to fix it though as I'm saving for long tubes. I came from a Scion FR-S so this thing is a sluggish tank compared to that. I'm finally able to beat my friends 4x4 Tacoma with the 4.0 v6 though. And his 2000 Silverado with the 5.3. But that thing has triple the mileage and has been beat to ****.

Now if you get a custom tune without cats, then yes, this rule of thumb can apply, - you won't loss anything. You can run open headers and not have a loss anywhere in the power band, but you to tune for it. Granted, you can't run open headers, but that's the theory that holds water.

I'm curious what the OP's definition of Fast is and if he knows the difference between being quick and being fast.

The saying goes, "Cheap, Fast or Reliable, Pick Two." No way around that.
Are you racing on a track or on the street? If you're on the street, grow up and get on a track.
How much money do you have to spend? If you're a broke *** living paycheck to paycheck then you're either living in a dream world or you're digging yourself in a poor man's hole.
If this were a Car I'd always to start with gears and say "Don't fear the Gear.". For the Truck, Gears can run $600-2,000 (2wd or 4wd) which can make the truck "Quicker."
Blowers start at $2500 and you can reliably make 300rw but it's the extra stuff you NEED will nickel and dime you. A $3k project can quickly get to $5k in a matter of hours, lol.
A professional tuner for that blower or E85 tune (The person not the device) with dyno time is going to set you back at least $500.
I have no problem with giving advice so long as I know you understand the basics and what you want. The simple place to start is the fact that nothing is going to make your truck "fast" if you don't have enough money.
Since you can't tell me exactly what you want, I'm going to assume you don't really have any idea what you want. Go to a Test & Tune night at a local drag strip track, get a feel for your trucks 16-18 second 1/4 mile times and come back to us. (Have enough money for for a tow truck at the end of the night.)
