I get the feeling the heavier the truck the more the 5.9L will out perform
the 4.7L. If I really wanted to go fast in a QC or a 4x4 or the super heavy
weight 4x4QC I'd opt for a 5.9L.
I went towing 4500#'s a month ago and I noticed I was missing 73 cubes. So
even though I have no numbers to prove it, I think the 5.9 will out Torque
the 4.7L. Which translates in faster times for heavier trucks.

John, those numbers are only there not to disturb the R/T advertisement and
owners. The real truth is the dyno, John. Put both trucks on the Dyno Jet
and you will see that they both pull almost the same at the wheel. The only
exception is the 4.7 pulls the TQ through out the RPM range versus the R/T
quick TQ duration.
Why would ChryCo do this? MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I know, I have done it on my truck and did a comparo and the results are
there to prove it.
