Mark, I'll agree the 4.7L does not have the same Torque as the 5.9L, But its
not as big a difference as the published info. The 295 TQ rating given in
the published info is low, I believe it is more along the lines of 325 Ft
LBS. Reason I say this is because I have a dyno sheet here that shows
approx. 340 flywheel TQ or 285 Rear wheel TQ on a 4.7L with the only mod
being the K&N filter and a home brew PVC pipe intake. I'm subtracting 15 ft
lbs. for this mod.(guessing) So thats where I get the 325 Flywheel (approx.)
in stock form. The factory HP rating for the 4.7L is pretty close at
230/235 hp. That dyno graph on the DC web page is a joke! I've got a
dyno graph here from the "real world" if you'd like to see!

I thought that compensated for the Quads coming with a auto tranny. It
probably takes that 5 hp to operate it. The 4.7 has 235 hp but the torque
just isn't the same. If you look at the dodge homepage, you'll see a hp /
torque curve and the 5.9 has torque that's about the same all the way
across. The 4.7, the torque goes up a bit, then tapers off. It's
sufficient for towing, but the 5.9 has that extra pull needed for heavier
loads.
