Well my friend, if you dont use e85 in your truck then you have the same power in the engine then the 04-08, no matter what you think or feel.(wait im wrong, you have TEN extra horse, thats it, according to ford, the people that made the truck) Unless ford somehow magically produced every truck but yours this way. What your probably feeling is the upgraded tranny.(which no one is debating, but the better transmission doesnt make the engine have more power, its rated what its rated at) It has everything to do with the engine, its not like you can produce the top power figures unless you run that e85.

I dont doubt that, dont think anyone ever said that etiher!

You could always mod a 460 up, but I know what your getting at. Still unless ya run that e85...



I gotta address this. When it comes to towing performance, being a quiet engine means didly squat. Is it nice? Well yeah, to some guys. Some guys like the loud exhaust (wonder how quiet a toyota is, would that make it better then a ford, cause it is quieter, and got better mpg?)
Please tell me you dont think your truck is a better towing vehicle then say my 7.3 diesel 3/4 ton, cause its quiet? (just using that as a point, not wanting to get into comparing a diesel to a gas or whatever)
Also, where does the 2k figure come from with the 460? Plus, do you have any proof (paper or real world experience) on the fuel economy numbers of a 460 towing at so and so many rpm compared to your truck? If not, then your pretty much doing the same thing that you just mentioned you hated, in your first paragraph, your talking like youve driven miles and miles towing the 460, and you know exactly how loud it is, how hard it pulls, and what kind of fuel economy it gets while towing. Have you? Link to support that? Anything?

I like to learn stuff I dont know about, so educate me! (I know your opinion, but everyone has an opinion, doesnt mean its accurate)
