Okay boys, I saw a little poem the other day and had to do one for the V10 crew. Dont get me wrong I love the Powerstroke.
The Night Before a V10 Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all though the hood
There were Super DutyÂ’s pullinÂ’
DeliverinÂ’ the goods.
When way down the street
There rose such a clatter
All the V10 owners
Had to see what was the matter
Out of his truck
He grumbled in rage
A Power Stroke owner
Had seen better days
Black smoke belched
But the beast would not start
Just sat in the drive
Like a sick old fart
The V10 owners
With their heads held high
Said, “That is the reason
No Diesels we drive!”
With 10 pistons burninÂ’
And 4 tires turninÂ’
They delivered their goods
To the youngsters a yerninÂ’
On Crew Cab, on Super,
And Regular Cab too,
WeÂ’ll take care of Christmas
When the sick diesels wonÂ’t do
So when Chritsmas is close
And the children all hope
DonÂ’t try to depend
On a sick Power Stroke
To deliver the goods
And make the kids smile
Get a V10
And count down the miles
Merry Christmas Folks!

I also have a 03 250 v10 and love it. I have the FM 50 and was thinking of doing the JBA headers as well. Did you notice alot of differance with the headers? BTW nice rig Do you have any leaks with the headers?

cc322- that is nice truck you got there. i highly recommend the jba headers. mine are jet hott coated and i used stage 8 locking bolts. i estimate that i picked up at least 15 hp with them and another 5 hp off the Y-pipe conversion. the flowmaster muffler probably gave me another 10 HP. the superchips provides the biggest gains (up to 25 hp on 91 octane). the superchips allows you to advance your timing and give the engine more fuel. it has 3 different tunes in it for 3 different grades of gas and towing. it also allows you to adjust your shift points higher, etc. i don't use the shift firmness feature though because i have a factory tech valve body which is way better for increasing your shift firmness as opposed to increasing line pressure with the superchips. i run 4.30 gears and ARB air lockers front and rear too and this helps with the bigger tires. installing a K&N air intake snorkel assembly would make another 10 hp but i haven't done that yet.
the only downside that i see to the V-10 is gas mileage. but i got around this by installing a 50 gallon transfer flow auxilliary fuel tank in the bed of my truck. this feeds the existing stock 29 gallon fuel tank via a digital contoller and auxilliary fuel pump. i carry a total of 79 gallons of 91 octane now. i can pull my 25 ft nordic from tucson to lake havasu and back now without refilling.

Sounds like you are making some good HP . Do you have the part # on the headers?. How much did you pay for them, and did you do the install yourself?
