All I will say is remember that the Ford V10 is a "High RPM" motor. I have a Triton V8 in a van. It sounds like it's screaming if I nail it. My V8 in the coach is designed to operate most efficiently at around 3500 RPM (max torque) where the V10 operates at a much higher RPM. So....

Keep the RPMs up for the best performance. Check the manual (or search here) to see what RPM works best.
