The banks system for that year v10 has a measurable increase you'll 'feel' but not really realize.
It's not in the snake oil category, but it's definitely in the
no appreciable percentage of power increase
Realm.

Other than few shift point changes in the transmission there really is nothing to be done to a v10 Ford that will warrant the expense.

The best thing I can tell you to back up my ascertation is:
If the added power was available within reason, I'd own it without reason.


I will suggest, and many many people do this so I'm not picking on you specificially:
Mash that gas pedal.

In a previous life I would hear complaints about acceleration and hills. I'd then drive their vehicle with them as a passenger. MANY had never pushed the pedal more than 3/4 of the way down. Scared the heck out of most of them when they realized what their silly little car could do at a stop light or up a hill they prepared for.

I live in two adjacent counties. Altitude goes from 322ft to 11,000ft.
I go from 422ft to 7,000ft in 180 miles of road.
I have a stock v10 and no reasonable complaint.
I drive the hell out of that v10.

(there is a theoretical realm of computer changes affecting a small narrow gap of power at the end of the gas pedal after a 60 second to the floor pedal hold down. Don't get caught up in some of our power discussions. They are certainly warranty voiding and have little practical value other than theory)
