Bill,
According to the link below, the '97
5.4 engine produces 235 HP @ 4250 RPM & 335 ft-lbs torque @ 3000RPM. The 2001
4.6 engine produces slightly less....231 HP @ 4750 RPM & 293 ft-lbs torque @ 3500 RPM. I don't know engines but it seems like the older
5.4 isn't much better than the 2001
4.6. Can the 5.4 be tuned to be closer to the numbers of the 2001
5.4 (260hp @ 4500 RPM/350tq @ 2500 RPM)? I feel like I got screwed with this mechanic/engine swap and feel even more screwed with the engine specs. I am hoping for some piece of mind with the numbers.
Thanks and God Bless
