I wouldn't beleave it with a 3.71 gear unless I actually did it myself. and never over 3800 rpm. That is why when people just want to jack with the timing I think it is wasted effort and maybe a good way to burn valves.

Sweet .....

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since anyone posted here but what the heck...

Mike, I saw lots of dyno sheets with HP and TQ numbers but didn't see many (if any) reports on MPG. Anyone have something to say about that?

Contemplating a custom tune from Mike on my stock 01 F250 V10 w/ factory 4.30 gears. We regularly carry a 3k lb Lance camper while towing our 6k lb boat.

Thanks
Greg

Yeah, I know this thread is old and dead, but it isn't locked so...

I have been contemplating headers for quite some time and this thread has convinced me to do so. Any opinions on the exhaust diameter I should run? I also just bought a Superchips 1715 - because it was cheap and I need to correct my speedometer. I stumbled across this thread after the purchase. I don't even have it in my hands yet.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

Thanks. Did you notice any loss in bottom end power, or did it just feel better throughout the whole RPM range?

I have Banks headers. I'd say the entire rpm range did super. I also got a programmer from 4 star which helped. Keep in mind I have the old original heads/v10 so..
