If there was an easy way to make it better ford would have done it.
I disagree. Ford also has a price point to meet. Also, Ford did make many changes in '05.
I've done the full Banks PowerPack, along with an AFE intake and Predator tuner. If it were out at the time, I would have gone with a 5-star tuner instead, but the Predator works fine with some custom tuning.
Compared with a stock V10 at the same weight, I can typically climb in a full gear higher, and theres not an Interstate grade I can't pull at the speed limit at a full load. By brother has a stock v10 in his, and on steeper climbs I'm going about 20 MPH faster, as the same weight.
That said, I have the 2-valve V10. The 3-valve V10 won't gain much from headers, but there's still some gains that can be made with a cat-back, intake and programming.
