Yeah, even just letting off the clutch and driving off idle, it jerked really hard.
The npi 4.6 will pull a bit, but the 5.4 would jerk.
Not good with all seasons and the slightest snow haha.
But I agree, when dry, she would haul some ass.
I would do this swap again in a heartbeat for a summer car. But I would probably add some cam this time. Something to not have it completely fall on it's face past 5k. Even with 2.73s it didn't feel like a slouch. I can only guess how 3.55s would have felt.
Just keeping a 6k rpm band. Nothing fancy.
Also OP, a good tip, something I didn't do.
Work on your rear suspension, I would imagine that would help immensely.
