But what really proved this point for me is that my 98 GMC Sierra with a 4.3L/4L60E combo actually felt more powerful below 3500rpm's than my buddies 5.4L/auto Ford F-150 (think it was a 99).
I'm not saying my truck is awesome or anything, it is a work truck and that is how it is used. But i thought it was weird that my truck with a 60hp/100ft.lbs deficit would feel just as, or more powerful. Plus i am missing 2 cylinders, his was running great and so was mine.
I'm not sure what gearset he had but i can imagine it wasn't tall gearing (his is 4x4 as well)
