I believe the weight difference is more than 200 pounds.

That was last year before some of the mods I had when I did my best
run at the track. Your whole argument here is bogus because you're
assuming things which are not true.

As well as a standard to an automatic.

Not when everything else is equal it doesn't, which is all I was
trying to say in the first place. The 4.7 is a great engine, don't
get me wrong, but the 5.9 is stronger. All of your arguments is not
going to change that fact.

My current numbers and all of my mods, as well as an explanation of my
dyno run and what was installed at the time, are all on my web page,
had you bothered to look before posting.

I do have a sense of humor, but I don't understand why you took a
debate between the 4.7 and 5.9 and turned it into a debate between
your truck and my truck. The guy has made his decision and he bought
the 4.7. That's great, I know he'll enjoy the Durango. It would have
been faster with the 5.9, but like he said, the 4.7 has all the power
he needs.
