For all out perf. I'd rather have an R/T, but I needed to tow.

One point not to forget though. The 4.7L weighs a full 100lbs less than
the 5.9 or 5.2L's. Don't discount the value of taking 100lbs off the nose
when trying to hook up at the track.

| Pound for pound the Semi-Hemi 4.7 with mods or even stock has better
chance
| to out do it's bigger brother. Considering the following:
|
| STOCK 4.7: 235HP 50.00HP per Liter
| 295TQ 62.76TQ per Liter
|
| ENGINE SIZE DIFFERENCE:
|
| STOCK 5.9: 250HP 42.37HP per Liter
| 325TQ 55.08TQ per Liter
|
| But not to forget, the R/T is lowered, sway bars, better looking seats,
| better leaf springs and 17 inch rims.

| OK guys,
| I'm now leaning away from the 4.7 and towards an R.T. Does anyone have a
| RC R/T with the magnum R/T package(cam, rockers, etc). What exactly
| comprises the full Magnum package? How much did it cost? How fast does
| it run?
