YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sure i don't,,,, know with zetecs, an engine swap is stupid, but with duratecs that don't last as long (average) and considering a 3L swap is easy and not overly expensive, then what's wrong with getting 30 more HP from the engine swap??????

MORE Torque means you have MUCH better pickup more HP means you have a better top end speed.
you can never have too much TQ.... the high TQ that I have it what allows me to hang with the ATX duratec with ALOT more HP and more TQ than me... plus they duratec tour is a little heaver.
