Question 03 F150 supercrew fx4 lariat to supercrew fx4 lariat LIGHTNING! How do I do it? HELP!

I've been thinking about turning Ol' Leroy into a Supercrew FX4 Lariat Lightning. Or something similar to or meaner than that. I want to install a Supercharger and headers. However I'm kinda lost on where to start and what all I need. The bastard already has a 5.4 Triton but that's about the extent of it. I've been looking into it for awhile now but I really haven't found much. Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places. Maybe some of you busted knuckle enthusiasts can point me in the right direction. And I'm definatly looking for Non-California friendly or compliant parts and ideas. I'm been stationed here for way too long and time has breed nothing more than contempt for this state's laws.

So on a scale of 1 to "Oh god just shoot me!" How hard will it be to do this change?

Well that's not too bad. Seems like changing the sparkplugs was harder. (BTW: Iridium plugs=AWESOME!!!) Good thing I don't have any plans to make it into a worthless street truck that gets high centered on pebbles.
