I have looked at your times.

Excuse me, but last time I looked you are driving a RC and I am
driving a CC. More important, you have a 5 speed and I have an
automatic. Go back and read my post. I said ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL but
the 4.7 vs. 5.9, which is what the Durango would be since it only
comes with an automatic, the 5.9 would be the better choice if his top
priority is speed. Now, would you like to convince me that your 4.7
in a CC auto would beat a stock CC R/T with the 5.9? Perhaps we could
get some 4.7 CC auto 1/4 mile results posted.

You should check your facts before you make a fool of yourself. I did
not have mods too numerous to list at the time I did that dyno run. I
had a QuickD TB and intake and 180 stat. That's all. Plus, and I
bring this up again because you continue to overlook this very
important fact, I have an automatic transmission and you have a
manual. Just in case you're not aware, an automatic loses more
horsepower to the ground than a manual transmission. Comparing rear
wheel dyno runs of a 4.7 in front of a manual to a 5.9 in front of an
automatic is not a valid comparison of the two engines unless you take
into account the differences in driveline loss.

If you don't see the potential that's not my problem. And don't
worry, I'll be hollering at you real soon, and I'll be doing it with
an automatic club cab.
