More Power
generally you wont gain much if you have the 5.0 without digging into the engine a bit - cams, s/c etc
you may gain a few hp with intake and exhaust, but not a whole lot
tunes are debatable with the 5.0, but they seem to help the ecoboosts a whole lot
one issue I had right away was the transmission shift points- that's what I got a tune for, both 5 star and mpt offer tunes to change the horrible factory shift points
also gearing might have a lot to do with it to
WHY ford chose 3.31 or even 3.55 for the 5.0 is beyond me 3.73 is the way to go for the 5.0
gears don't hurt the eco boost too much, cause their power comes on a lot sooner

Very broad question
But GENERALLY speaking, intake, tune, exhaust in that order are first level of basic bolton performance stuff.
Then cams, gears, forced induction, list and price just goes from there on how much willing to spend and how much power you want to add.

A guy I work with who races cars mentioned Diablo SCT chip. Said that could give 50HP more and might improve MPG a little bit. I am not looking to add a lot of power. But a little bit more then pushing the sport button. I known nothing about this stuff. I was also thinking of add bigger tires on factory 20" rims.
Thank you guys
