No power
Hay I have a 02 v10 with 175000 on it
my problem is if I punch it when my truck down shifts it falls flat on its face and actually starts to slow down usually anything above 2500 rpm it has no power if I gradually bring the rpm up I can get to about 3000 rpm. Below that it is normal do I need a new motor

Yes it is. But these guys eat, sleep, and drink V10 all day and night.
While some of the guys in the Ex forum know a lot about the V10, everyone in this forum know a lot about the V10, so you should get a lot more help.
I'm just maximizing your chances at getting your problem solved.

Can you provide some background about the engine . When was the last time spark plugs changed (with /without rubber boots ,COP's ?) , PCV & its hose and other vacuum hoses changed ? MAF sensor has ever been cleaned ? any CEL light ? fuel filter changed ? fuel pressure checked ?

If it were mine , I would start with 3 basic DIY maintenance items;
1- Check/Replace PCV valve& hose and check all other vacuum hoses for cracks ,
2-Clean MAF sensor,
3-Replace fuel filter
If the problem still unfixed , my next step would be getting "fuel pressure readings" from fuel rail.
Good luck,

I agree completely with the previous posters on things to check, but I would like to emphasize the possibility of a fuel pressure failure under higher engine loading. Been there done that.

My 2003 has the PCV valve on passenger side engine cover , somewhat near firewall . It might have a foam cover over the actual PCV hose . Remove the hose and inspect it closely (including the rubber elbow on throttle side ) for cracks .
Good luck,
