2V or 3V

[robl110]

Which do you all prefer the 5.4 2V or 3V?

We are still searching for the right expy for our family. In the last month we have test drove all 03/04 2V's. Yesterday we got behind the wheel of a 05 3V. The extra 50hp of the 3V made a very noticeable difference. We are thinking about discounting looking at the 03/04 with the 2V.

Let's hear what everyone likes and why.

only problem I see is 2V plugs can be blown out due to not enough threads in the heads... and the 3V have problems with the 2 piece plugs snapping on removal... but I would take the extra HP of the 3v....

The 3V plugs breaking is not an issue with the tool. The plugs blowing out however is a little more difficult...

I am the oppisite of Walnuts. I would rather have the 2v. More HP mods for it and cheaper. If I would have done more research,I would have gotten the 2v. To late now.

3V for sure! I think it's a beast. Put a CAI and programer on it and exhaust and you will be happy with it.
