Not really Ryan on the HO 4.7 version. The estimate output that were quoted
from both Hotrod August issue and Car-truck.com was 270HP. I expect the hemi
will cause serious damage on the Lightning's but I foresee a 400 plus HP
from Ford by them also. But still, a 50 or 70 HP difference is enough to
meet or slightly beat the heavy Ford.
If the truck was a combo 4.7/manual and RC version it will be in the 13s.
Talked to Matt about that one.

Speakin of the Hemi Dak, I think the semi-hemi 4.7 HO Dak will be right with
the SCed Lightnings. Think about it, in their regular versions, they are
running mid to high 14s, so, wit hthe HO option, it could theoritically put
em i the low 14s/high 13s. But, I think DC has to do one thing...... Offer
the 5 speed in the HO R/T! I think the Auto wwould only be able to turn mid
14s. Hope DC keeps the 5-speed as at least an option in the R/T.

I love my old tech 5.9 Dak. :-)
