After having an old Ford with a 351 that'd nearly pop the front tires off the ground (and that's all weight in the front half of the vehicle, no camper) and even twisted the frame between the cab and the bed, I don't think the 5.3 would do much for me. So inline 6 it is, has more than enough for my needs (which is daily-driving), I'm mostly out of my random gun-it phase.
That and having to get the EXT (read: heavier vehicle) to get extra power doesn't seem very effective to me, if anything I'd go with the 6.0 in the SS
Isn't there something about that in the ancient Chinese reflexology writings?the roadie said:You V8 guys have a strange connection between nerves in your right foot and your 'nads.

Then, you'll really get a euphoric effect
C-ya said:Tune in the works as soon as I can be without it for a couple of days.
C-ya said:Yeah, I just want DOD disabled, torque management removed and the lag from gas pedal to the throttle opening removed. Nothing major. $100 and a few days without it. If I still had my Hombre with a SBC in it, I could see paying for a dyno tune. This, not so much. It is a 5,200# beast that hauls me and the family around, and occasionally pulls a travel trailer. But, since it has the 5.3, I want it to act like it a little bit.
