this is 100% true, any time you mess witht eh intake system on a 3 valve motor you want a custom tune...[/COLOR

Could I simply order a SuperChip and plug & Play to accomplish this?

SuperChips is not going to give you what you want compared to a custom tune. If you go Superchip you will be leaving some on the table.

I once saw a F-150 with a 6.0 in it. It had LOTS of power.

x2 TRUE!......I have a friend with an 5.4l f150 and he mentioned to me the same thing in a general conversation. Also don't waist your time with a "chip" or handheld tune. You'll spend $300+ on a tune that won't net you much gain at all. You'll spend a similar amount of money to just get a custom tune from a sponsor that will actually net you some real gains plus make your truck much more fun to drive.

My best guess would be to install a cold air intake system and also an exaust package but as to which ones would be the best for my truck I have no idea. All suggestions appreciated! thanks
Get a cold air intake and a SCT or Predator tuner and get a tune. It will really wake it up. If you want more, look here. http://www.lightningforceperformance...le/Ford/F-150_
