Hey Guys,
I picked up a 99 discover 1 that has had a 4.6 swapped in after the original 4.0 died. I checked the numbers on the block and it is indeed a 4.6.
The rig was very slow when I bought it. Since then I put 33" tires on it and over geared the hell out of it to try and pick up some performance. It now has 4.43 GBR gears and it slightly better to drive than the old 31's and stock gears.
Anyway, how slow is this thing supposed to be? It barely holds highway speeds and downshifting yields almost no noticeable acceleration on slight grades. The rover has a new fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, and oil. It doesn't smoke, passes smog, doesn't drag the brakes or have any obvious flaws.
I just don't know if it is supposed to drive like this or if it is way down on power. Any thoughts?
