It sort of depends on your HP expectations and your definition of "a lot". There are a few ways to boost horsepower a bit that are reasonably easy and inexpensive relative to how much you spent on your FX. Things like intake and exhaust kits or an ECU re-flash will be about as far as you can go until the aftermarket catches up with your new gen FX. If you want 100+hp increase however, or even 50+ really, you are looking at F/I (Forced Induction. ie turbo or supercharger) which will be a substantial investment. Does a $10K-$15K minimum sound ok? If so, maybe F/I is in your future. If not, focus on improving performance in general, which is a much more attainable goal for the average enthusiast. Things like weight reduction, better wheels/tires, sport springs (unfortunately not available yet for your '09+ FX) and suspension bracing are good places to begin. This forum (and others) are great places to learn about your options. You're on the right track with asking questions prior to purchasing anything. The title search function is particularly useful for finding out about specific parts/upgrades.
Good luck!
