ok so the 4.6 can do better in the top end... but i bought my truck to be a truck. i wanna throw some mud and this 4.6 wont do it... if you wanna race go get the 4.6 and mod the hell out of it so it acts like a rubber band?

you should have really read back a few more pages to where i stated what i was running
4.6L stock, stock auto trans, stock x-fer, lockrite front and rear with 4.88 gears.
the gears alone should have given this truck enough to throw mud in 4. but it has yet to throw a nice roost except for in 2.
neal bud, i left ya another pm. having some difficulty finding the pistons i want.
