Computer tuning for v-10
I want a tuner that can change the shift points and adjust for the tire size diffrence and that I can use 87 octane with the programmer.
I have a 2000 f-250 with the v-10 and would prefer a tuner and not a chip, but I don't know of any companies that make these.

I think I have looked at all of them and the only ones they list are the superchip computer chips, but not the tuner I have seen that superchip has a tuner part #1715 I think but didn't see it on the online store. I check again though.
Never mind I just found it I must have been looking in the wrong spot or passed right over it.
Has anyone used one of the superchip tuners yet and if so haw did/does it perform. Is it as easy to use as it says and have you had any problems with it?

Ummm.... sorry but you got it the opposite. MotorHaven doesn't have any Superchips chips, only Diablo chips. The only Superchips products MotorHaven sells now are tuners in the Superchips sections.

I read on the superchip website for some infromation and they didn't have all of the answers on the website. I sent off to the email for some anwsers but Would like to know from someone with the product. Or has tried it
Can you switch back to the original programming later and does it work to correct the speedo, I've heard that some tuners can't correct the V-10 speedo

I read on another website that the superchip micro tuner will not correct for gear ratio and tire changes, So that limits me to two choices
The Hypertech and the diablo predator
Which one is better and has anyone used them?

The Diablo Predator does not exist for Ford gas applications yet. The Hypertech does not correct the speedometer for the V10, no chip or tuner does. You need a Truspeed to correct the speedometer on the V10.

I just got off the internet webpage of Hypertech and see that you are right about that,
however, I just got done looking at the Granatelli /diablo website and they do have a predator tuner listed for the V-10
Part # 995517
It says it does everything I want it to and I like the feature of later being able to upgrade over the net. So is this a brand new product or have they just mislabeled it? It is listed with the 5.4 and 4.6 motors but it does list that it will work with the V-10.
I am going to send a e-mail to their tech section and see what they say.

Yup, Granatelli has listed it for months. And for months it hasn't been out. I've been working with Diablo long before Granatelli has and I can tell you from nearly daily communication with Diablo that its going to be a while before its out. Granatelli's listing is vaporware.

Thanks,
Do you know what the hold up is? It's been 4 years+ that the motor has been out and they can't get it done, They have newer motors that already have tuners. Are they having a problem mapping the curves and fuel delivery? I think they'd sell well if they got them out.
How much longer do they say it will take? I don't want to pay 200+ dollars for a speedo correction and then have this come availiable. That would really **** me off. But if it is going to take forever I may have to look into something else.
Again thanks for the help

Again: no chip or tuner can calibrate the speedometer on a V10. You can wait forever, it will not support speedo calibration, it must be done by a dealer or Truspeed.
The V10 is not a high volume engine, its very low on any chip company's priority list. Its going to be months before a V10 version of the Predator is out, and it won't support speedo calibration.
There is no holdup, the first version of the Predator is only a year old. They did the GM versions first, then the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel this spring. Next is the 6.0L Powerstroke, then the 5.4 Lightning/4.6 Cobra. The V10 is a ways off.
Sell well? Don't count on it. V10 chips account for about 1 in 50 chips, if that much.
