BROTHERDAVE,
at the track and I also had a G-tech that I made runs with almost every day that were pretty consistant.The key is to make each run the same(same flat strip of road, same location on dash,ect.).I had no real problems with traction, being a 4 wheel drive and at the time 3:55 in the rear end. I just eased into the throttle. I did manage to go through 6 sets of tires in about 40 thousand miles.

As a matter of fact it is basically as fast as the 4.6 (V-8) I have beat 2 01 4.6's where I work. I didn't blow them away as a Lighting would, but I beat them by a good truck lengh or two.
If Talley were here he would know. That guy knew his sh*t and knew it well. I am sure there is someone here that knows the hp and torque diffenence between the 4.2 and 4.6. I believe the horsepower is only 10 - 20hp difference between the two.
Since I have a 5-speed (more hp to the rear wheels then with an auto) and the 4.6's both had autos (lose of hp to rear wheels compared to a manual) the hp and torque must have been pretty equal thus not making it very hard to beat them.
For the ones that insist that the 4.2 just sucks and has no ***** it is because you must not know how to drive it or have an automatic trans. That or you have a manual and dont know how to drive that bad boy the way your suppose to.
NOTE: If you put a superchip in a 4.2 it will have more hp and torque then a stock 4.6.
