OH YEAH! But it's not like a 4.2 v6 in an F150. Now thats a dog.

Do not believe the advertising......
NO programmer will give 20 HP to the older 4.6 (non-PI engine) that you have.
4.10 gears will surely wake it up.
My 1996 Mustang GT 4.6 is as big of a dog as your truck.
Going from 2.73 gears to 3.73 gears dropped 3 MPG but made the car WAKE UP big time in acceleration!
Hey, watch it. That 4.2L V6 makes a little over 200 HP and 260 torx. That's not too far behind the 4.6, which is pretty sad considering that old pushrod V6 has been around in various forms since the early 1980s! I had a 4.2 in an E250 work van, and it was prefectly adequate for hauling heavy loads and towing a few thousand pounds.
