Edmunds has a review
www.edmunds.com

380 hp
450 lb/ft torque

3.73 gearing

sounds like this should be quiet a noticeable performance gain. I believe I will have to take one for a test drive.

The regular cab houses a non-regular interior featuring black-on-white SVT instrumentation (complete with boost gauge) and "?black-and-white leather seats"?.
I guess its black and white for the seats now, not sure ow that will look.

Hey Ray beings the have white for 01, are you gona sale you 00 and get a 01 should be easier to put in the 13.2`s, hehehe

In this case, a reworked 5.4-liter Triton V8 engine with forged pistons, reduced compression, and a Roots-type Eaton supercharger supplies the spark. Complete with an intercooler and a two-channel throttle body, this engine belts out 380 horsepower and a massive 450 foot-pounds of torque. Thanks to revised engine components, this is 20 more horsepower and 10 more foot-pounds of torque than last year's model.

Ok, so the question is, what are "revised engine components" ????????????????

A bigger intercooler? How about redesigned? Seems like the first one sprung a leak and they decided to fix it by going with a new and improved design.

Mine seems to be holding together.
