ok ok ok....i've had enough!......im tired of watching this battle and not
saying anything.
Being a 3.9 owner I have to through in my $.02. OK...here we go. First of
all the 3.7 will, without
a doubt whoop a 3.9...the 3.9 makes less power, is heavier, cant rev as
high, has a slow valve train...etc.etc.
If you look at just about any auto manufacturer that has an OHV motor and
OHC motor in approx. size in the same vehicle
from different years etc...you will notice the OHC motors are quicker and
make more power and have better gas mileage, less emissions. Secondly...I
hate doing this to list members..but sometimes you have to put people in
their place, A K&N filter and a cat back exhaust does not increase a stock
3.9 from 175hp to 200hp.
