when i hit the gas the rpm's go up. and u hear it rev up .. and it does go faster.. but it doesnt feel as fast as it was before.. i do mess around with it a lil though.. ill get bored and just down shift to 2nd and stuff if i want it to pick up faster.. i use the over drive as well on the freeway sometimes.. i know thats probably not good.. but hey.. i figure.. if i have it.. might as well put it to use haha. and yep. i threw a cold air bbk intake in it last week. and it seemed to have sped up a bit.. i know its probably from the amazing 10-15hp that it added but still.. now it seems like im havin the prob again.. i dont know if its just me though. .. but if its not.. what are some good things to check.. or look out for?? - thanks

You definitely have something going on there, and unfortunately it's not going to fix itself or just go away. If it were me, I'd take it to the Ford dealer and have them look it over.
