John,
The tuning greatly improves the shifting of the transmission. Not only does the added power help it maintain gears, we also are able to calibrate the transmission shift points to more suit the RV application.
Joel,
Unfortunately Banks is not too interested in putting much R&D into their Gas RV programming. We use the same device but tune with settings we have found work very well and improve performance, shifting and fuel economy. I would see if you can return the product and switch over to ours which I'm sure you will be very satisfied with.
I own a 2014, Forest River, Georgetown XL . It is 37' 11'' long and has a ford V10, 3 valve engine, on an F53 chassis. Its clear the performance improvements in the 2 valve engine are substantial. But what could I expect in my engine? Also, if down the road I were to do mods like headers and Intake, would I have to buy additional software ?

Performance gains on the 3 valve V10 are just as impressive as on the 2 valve and the transmission tuning alone makes a great deal of difference. We offer free updates so if you ever do install any additional hardware just let us know and we will make you a revision.
