| Re: Extra HP & Torque the only thing horse power is a selling point for dealers . the only thing that matters is torque and how well it puts it to the ground and i think the 4.9s trans could handle 300 hp but the 4.5s how ever could not 4.9s weer a stronger built trans and they are electronically controlled and 4.5s weer vac controlled . look at a 5.0 mustangs hp and look at a 4.9s the mustang has more then we do but yet we can still get them off the line that's cause the torque in a 4.9 is made down low where it counts and not up high like a mustangs |
