a programmer is gonna give you the most help, you can try a cai or the gotts mod, that can help as well but its more like a placebo effect. but it is cheap to do(gotts)

id prolly fix this problem first..https://www.f150forum.com/f4/umm-thr...ark-wtf-71400/
but for your question... a programmer is going to give you the actual.. foot to pedel difference.. i dont know if you have exhaust but that will make you think its badasser.. and CAI will help... the gotts mod will help response.. and is probably just as good as most CAI

08 F150 LIMITED
I had the same problem on my 08 Limited 5.4 when I bought it 2 months ago. Here's what I did to fix the problem. Turn the key to the on position but DON'T start the engine. Now press the gas peddle to the floor SLOWLY and let it come up/back as fast as you can, turn key to the off position. Now do this two more times. Now start the engine and go for a test drive then report back here with your findings!
This procedure works on my motorcycle so I tried it on my truck and it worked there too!
I also disconnected my battery but that was a couple of days later and wasn't done to correct the throttle problem but it drives like it's suppose to now.

J/K I am also curious about the logic on this one. I've never heard of it and if it works then there will be some very happy F150 owners on this forum.

You forgot the part where you then get out of the truck and run around it 5 times while screaming like a lunatic to the truck gods to please make your throttle response more like a Chevy.
