It's not as much about speed as it is improvement and consistency. It is just a great idea to run a vehicle in a controlled setting and get an idea of how it will handle in turns and how to recover.

Something's wrong. I can lay a strip with the wifes '02 D 4.7 auto any day of the week. LMAO, I actually blew a manifold gasket a few months ago racing a newer Expy. He was on the highway, I was coming on and trying toget in front of him... didn't happen, but gave him a good run.
I'll take a guess and say you'll run 15.2-16.5 based on info I can find.

Yeah... I've driven those 3.9 liter engines... along with the 3.7 liter engines. They all stink. The 4.7l v8 sure isn't no winner stock either. But it's a heck of a lot faster than my F150.
I dunno... all I want to do is just run it a few times... not like it's going to pull anything special. But it's really for fun... as I've never drag raced before legally that is.
But I just want to get an idea of how much power it has stock in actuality. I'm sure it can't be that bad.
