Power boost for Ford 450 V10

I plan on going to the Western United States next year to travel in the mountains. Is there anyway to get more power or performance on the V 10 Ford engine? Do they make a performance chip?
  • There is...but are you sure you need it? What I mean, have you already experienced a problem with power, or are you just thinking you'll need it for the mountains?

    The v10 is pretty strong in a class C. I've been all over the mountain west, Canadian Rockies, Alaska etc and never felt lacking in power. And I'm running a 32 footer loaded nearly to maximum weight and towing a car.

    Will you go up every grade at 70 mph, no. But it does better than you'd expect.
  • Lots of companies make performance enhancing modifications. Some are even legal but few don’t void the manufacturer’s warranty.
