Why?
Why do you need more HP? What can't your truck do now that you want it to? In what circumstances is it lacking power?
You should find a goal to reach. Otherwise it seems pointless to throw money at it.
The mods you plan to do (CAI and exhaust) will give you next to nothing in terms of seat of your pants & actual numbers.

Honestly the only difference you will really see is if you install a set of EFans and a tuner or blower or nitrous. Everything else like intake, exhaust, headers, highflow cats, throttle body spacers, etc arent really worth the money spent on them to gain the tiny tiny bit of HP.

The tuner is the biggest gain you can get without going to biggg expense for things like a super charger.
I put an Edge Evo on my 4.6 and it made a nice difference.

Edit: While beefing up the internals is more insurance. It won't do you any good with with a bad tune. I have seen many built motors go. With low boost and good tuning you will be just fine.

I'm sure he means stock bottom end. A cheap way to set up a 4.6 for boost is to use the coyote 5.0 rods. They're very cheap and can handle a good amount of power. They're still powdered metal but build much better than our rods.
