Hey, Hidrive and Blue Oval Baboon!
No disrespect intended; you guys know your sh**.
We were talking about two diff'rent things. The Ford part # nomenclature:
4F27E
4) # of forward gears
F) front whl drive
27) add a zero for torque capacity
after the converter
E) electronically controlled
Whatever we were talking about after that, I forget.
Having said that,though, I do care about my equipment; but I will be modding suspension, tires and brakes way B4 I add any appreciable amount of power. My car's a driver and, having turned out a couple of knuckle draggin' machines in the past, I'm kinda likin' a bone stock driveline right now.
Besides, the 149 lb ft at the flywheel (stock) in the PZEV
is fine for a commuter. I get my ya-ya's out on Gran Turismo 3 (w/ the Logitec wheel and pedals), racing 1/10th scale touring cars and open tracking a friend"s 400 hp '65 Shelby at Willow.
You guys take it easy
