If you don't have, or have and can return you might want to like others suggested look into the sct from 5 star. Most, 99.99% go with them for the V-10. Works like a charm and the customer service is bar none.

Never heard of improvements like that on a gas job......the 4mpg maybe......but not the 100 hp

I am guessing that the guy who said that doesn't know what a 100hp gain is and doesn't calculate mileage by hand. I would expect very little mpg gain and a good seat of the pants gain for power. It's hard to get much power out of tuners compared to the oil burners.

I noticed you're using superchips. did you really feel an acceleration difference from stock to performance?

SCT is a different tuner. 5star will custom tune to your likings. With the 87 octane econo tune I gained in the 1-2 mpg if I take it easy. The other benefits of the tranny shifts is more what I was looking to improve. There is more seat of the pants power, but no way in the 100 hp.
