I would even go lower, but that means my downshifts get further apart, and i don't want that.

The 4.6L doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM range as the 5.4L. Let me rephrase that... the power curve drops off sooner on the 4.6L than it does on the 5.4L. For this reason, I generally don't like to run the RPMs as high on the 4.6L because it doesn't really help.
With the vehicle being a 2001, you are also at a slight disadvantage as 97-03 models are about 10-15 HP shy of the later models.
Anyway, I usually go about 4900 on the 1-2 and 2-3 and about 4650 on the 3-4. You aren't too far off with what you have but you might lose a little trying to run out the top end of the RPM range.
Hope this helps.

Thanks
Thanks
If you want to give it a try, I can send you the v21 calibration and see if you get the power back. I don't really see how it should make that big a difference, but I'm game if you are.
Let me know.

Yes lets try that. Also whenever it stops raining and possibly snowing this weekend I can test that and a few custom settings. Also I have a K&N drop in filter on order if that will make a difference in any of the settings.
