Sorry! I would do the reverse. Dyno is a preferred choice over real world
feelings.

This is just my opinion but I would take real world results over a dyno
sheet anyday. Dyno sheets don't mean sh!+ if you can't prove it. JMHO

I'd like to see your dyno graph for your 3.9L, apparently you haven't seen a
dyno graph for a 4.7L, cause its torque curve is as flat or flatter and ALOT
higher than a stock 3.9L. You are basing your observation on assumption and
feeling, and not facts. At 1200 rpm the 4.7L puts out more torque to the
rear wheels than the maximum flywheel torque of a 3.9L (220).
What exactly is "smooth" when referring to the torque curve?? Lets talk
dyno graphs and not what this truck "felt" like or that truck "felt" like.
I know you're not slamming the 4.7L, but lets talk facts here, instead of
fiction and dreams.

<The problem with the old V6, no Bernd it is not generalization, the HP was
