3v V10 performance?

Hey guys, I just picked up a 2005 F250 with the V10. It has a K&N intake on it and a BullyDog GT tuner. It's a bit of a dog and I need to wake it up a bit. Anyone get a 3 valve V10 custom tuned? By who?
I'm also looking to get a good exhaust for it, as it still has the stock system on it. It is the wife's truck and she would like it to sound a bit more like her old F250 5.4 that had a magnaflow SIDO on it. I'm mostly concerned about power.

any reputable tuner should be able to knock out a tune that makes that POS canned tune look/feel like garbage


not to mention the hot air intake without a custom tune might be causing damage




regarding exhaust, leave the stocker on there unless you want more noise

A V-10 will never sound like a V-8, but it shouldn't be too difficult to make it louder.

Would you terribly mind resizing that pic and reuploading it?

Don't really know how. Any tips on how to go about that? Going to work shortly but I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Still not sure how to resize properly, but I cropped it and it shows up smaller. So that's certainly better.

Christmas is the same, but we had Thanksgiving yesterday. lol
Ohh I get it... your refering to my Christmas lights. Did my wife tell you to say that?
I told her the best way to ensure they are up for Christmas is to not take them down after last Christmas.

I've already traded a couple of emails with Mike. It seems like that's the way to go.
