v10 power woes

I have a 99 f250 v10 why is it so anemic in power compared to the 2000 and up v10's that I have driven? Has anybody heard of an ecm swap to the later year to get the power up from 285 to the 300-sum of the 2000? Any help would be helpful.

Thanks, boss289

You might try chiping it, not sure how much hp gain there would be with your application but I'm sure you could find that info around here.

The hosepower increase was found in the heads and cam.A chip will surely help.It is also probably the cheapest HP per $ improvement you're going to find.Headers and a cat back will also help,but your out of pocket expenses are quite a bit higher than a chip..For what it's worth my Banks power pack equipped 96 460 had more a$$ to it than my stock 02 model.But,in all fairness the 96 weighs less.
