Errr nope wasn't that one. I've got a 3.21 rear on my 3.9. Gets hellacious
highway mileage. :)

His 'feeling' of it coming out a little smoother could also be attributed to
a
difference in rear gears, maybe the 3.9 has 3.92's and the 4.7 had 3.55's.
That has a definite bearing on the low-end torque butt-dyno.

I think the basis of this argument can be explained thus:
Ken "felt" like the 3.9 had a "flatter" torque curve compared to the 4.7L. I
think we might be able to agree he was experiencing that feeling because
when he pushed a little on the 3.9 it gave him a nice, powerful pull. But
let's say it was muted in delivery compared to the surge of raw, god-like
and exuberant energy the 4.7 hit him with.
Okay, that's a little overboard... but we could say simply the 4.7 is punchy
enough that it may feel ackward when you are trying to go slow. =)
