I had promised to call UltraRVProducts.com and get detailed information on their UPFORD - Ford V10 Ultra Power Custom Tuning Power Upgrade. Talked to the chief tech advisor.
They confirmed that the 2-valve 6.8 V10 engine typically get 43 more horsepower and 47 ft. lbs. more torque.
the following power benefits:
- 1997-2019 2v V10 Gains of 43 HP and 47 ft-lb Torque
- 2006-2015 3v V10 Gains of 52 HP and 61 ft-lb Torque
- 2016+ 3v V10 Gains of 56 HP and 73 ft-lb Torque
- Gains of up to 1/2 MPG (Not Guaranteed)
- Drastically reduces annoying downshifts at slightest grade
- Maintains speeds and higher gears longer when climbing hills
The device is the same as 5-star but he process is different. They take you VIN and you plug the device in the motorhome and they get the strategy code that Ford put into engine's control and diagnostic chip. They then email you a custom file that goes into their device through a USB cord and from the device into the engine (it comes with a cord to connect it to the diagnostic chip). Even more interesting, he mentioned that a recent customer passed CA emissions tests after doing the tuning. If you need to reset their is no period of adjustment necessary before smog.
