Ford V10 UltraPower Custom Tuning

Hi, has anyone tried the Ford V10 UltraPower Custom Tuning for their coach. I have a 2018 Intent 26M and was wondering if this "tune" worked as advertised. Suggestions? Have you tried this or one similar? I searched the forums for this and found nothing. Thanks.

The general consensus on tuning the V10 seems to point most everyone to 5-Star Tuning for a tuner. Check on IRV2.com for more info. We have that on ours. It opened up a bunch of torque and some good horsepower. I think they are still offering some $ off to IRV2 members.

I have the 5 Star with a Banks Cold Air Intake on my 2015 Winnebago Vista 30T. Big difference in shifting and power. I visited 5 Star and had them do it.

Yes, I believe you are talking about the 5-Star tune.

I just did this to mine, and only driven it about 400 miles so far, but I like it.
Shifting is more precise and like the fact that in Tow-haul, the Torque Converter doesn't lock, which will be better going down hill (mountains). One less tap on the brake to downshift. And supposedly more torque and HP.

Yeah, I think it's worth it ... so far anyway.
