Default I need ideas on what performance mods to do to my 4.0 ranger

Just looking to see if anyone can recommend good and worth while upgrades to do to my truck. It's an 05 4x 4.0 FX4 level 2 with auto trans. Kinda want to make it a little faster. Was thinking about a programmer so any input on those would be great.

TURBO!
I like my tuner - they claim around 13 hp / 15 tq (superchip)
Intake seems to help a lot in mid rpm range - didn't notice any effect in low rpm's
Throttle body made a huge difference in mid / high rpm range

Haha I'd love a turbo just not in my budget. I was looking at the superchips tuner. I also have one for my powerstroke and it's ok. Nothing like the chip I had in it but that's old school and the chips don't have a long life.
