Default 2009-2010 4.6 2v MODS (Please Come in)

I just bought a 2010 F150 4.6L 2v XL and I cant seems to find performance parts anywhere. So I have a couple questions.

Where Do I look for performance parts?
Is the 4.6 the same as the 2006-2008?
Is the 4.6 the same as the mustang motor and can I buy the same performance bolt ons?

What im planning on doing first is buying a tuner for a little power for now but also will be able to change the tune for a turbo later on.

If anyone could give me more information that would be great. This is my first f150 so im a newb but im very mechanically inclined.

Not sure about the bolt on items, but i do have a superchips cortex installed and love it. I also have a 2" lift, 285-65 18 Nitto Trail Grapplers, and 18x9 american racing thug atx wheels

What gear ratio does your F150 have?

The 4.6 2V engines have a 4 speed automatic transmission. The same as my '04 STX that had a 4.6 2 valve engine.

You cant get heads for our trucks we have electronics that plus into them and the aftermarket heads have no port for them,. Do what i did get the tfs 264/264 .550/.550 cams and spring and lifter kit from summitracing.com im currently getting my truck dyno'ed the guy said to expect 35-45 more hp id be happy with 20 more but we'll see. What also sucks is the only cai that will fit is an air raid and it only has the filter and box no tube. All i could find really was exhaust sct tuner and cams, should get me close to the 300hp mark but theres just not many options for us with the new 4.6 2v. Im planning on getting an On3performance turbo kit and trying to coherse a performance shop to intall it but that has yet become a reality.

Don't waste your money on a tune. I spent money on tune, exhaust, intake and it did nothing. Not the news you wanted to hear, but that's one big reason I traded my truck in and got the ecoboost.
