Default Ford V-10 Upgrades

Are there any upgrades (ie: chip, air intake/filter) that people have had success with. I have a 2004 Ford F-250 V-10.
Thanks,
Jeff

always go with the supercharger too..... I drove an 01 for a couple days...he had exhaust, programer (superchips) and cold air intake... It did have some nice power. Even with 44s it was fast and had good power.(stock gears)

The best upgrade for the buck is a new crossover pipe. Very restrictive in stock form. The second best is headers. Everything else has been just blah. I have kn filter, gibson exhaust, and hypertech programmer.

I have an 04 f250 v10 I just bought it about 3 months ago Mine is running 18inch wheels 4x4 and a 3.73 rear end it is getting over 16.5 on highway and 13 in town I put a K&N air cleaner on it I then cut the stock airbox that surrounds the filter to expose the filter and man did the help Just keep the ring that holds the filter to the mass air flow sensor. I have heard to change out the y-pipe but I haven't done it yet I called about having duel exhaust made for it and they told me it really doesn't sound that good and really didn't help much, just make sure you have the key for the spare tire so you can lower it mine didn't and I cut the cable to get the winch down and remove the lock and reinstalled it with a cable clamp so your jack rod will fit in the winch without the key. I put a cable around the tire and pad lock in case someone wants it will still be a little trouble

Did you recalibrate your speedo/odo after the new wheels?

Those would be good numbers for a diesel, they would be record setting on the V10. I have a Duramax crew cab that gets those numbers and my route trucks (two 4.3's, one 5.3) struggle to get 13 in town and both trucks have empty beds/ no weight. All of my trucks are factory stock.
