more power

I have a 2012 Chateau Citation 30 ft Ford 450.

I have heard there are several things you can do to give it more power.
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,
Sam
  • Don't make major changes (chips or similar) until off warranty. You can use air filters and exhaust cat-back systems without affecting warranty.

    Banks system is probably the best method. You can also get auto transmission kits to improve the shifting quality.

    Look for reviews of Banks or other upgrade systems on Ford V10 (engine used on many lines of Ford trucks) to see what really happens before/after. Often the numbers coming from an unbiased test are smaller than the advertised amounts.

    Bottom line - no cheap or easy solution to upgrading horsepower, torque or gas mileage. OR my V10 would have it!!
  • ford v10 gas
    not sure what we want to spend, just trying to get some options.
    heard you can get banks power system which is pricey, some type of air filer or a chip.
  • Which engine do you have? How much are you willing to spend?
  • How much more power do you need? My E450 has plenty. Fir the size MH.
